Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4016758, member: 1023"] I have a couple of thoughts on this entire mess. First A&M…nothing says big time like having your conference mates keep you in the dark while they negotiate with your hated rival. wow! Just wow! 2nd I don’t know why but I have a sense that Oklahoma has seen it’s last days as a serious power. It said that years ago why Miami went to the ACC. Remember when the ACC decided to play Miami-FSU early in the season so the loser still had time to recover and have a chance to play in the national championship game? How’d that work out for the Canes? Oklahoma relays on Texas talent. A&M opened the door to the SEC some. This move is a wholesale move. 3rd thought Is that this deal will ultimately rely on a paywall. ESPN is losing viewers in droves. They struggled to extend the NFL, but ultimately gave in. They aren't upping the payment to the SEC without some other conditions. 4th UConn…I would hope AD Dave is quietly talking to everyone. But he has to be very cautious. There is a loud and powerful group of New Big East fanboys in the fan base who will raise the devil if they hear that UConn is going anywhere. Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC. Doesn’t matter. They are where they want to be and don’t care.They would rather raise the NEWBIE trophy at MSG in mid March than the National Championship on the first Monday in April. Some will even admit it.
