Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 1512051, member: 2920"] I have no idea how much pull A&M has but I would suspect that they want no part of Texas' silver spoon antics. I would also suspect that Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, and the rest of the behemoth football programs in the SEC will have no part of any kind of LHN. If the B12 folds, I think Texas will be ticketed for the ACC with some sort of ND-ish sweetheart deal. If the SEC were to poach the B12, I think OU would be their prime target. I think OU fans would fall all over themselves for a SEC invite - the match seems natural. As for a partner, Kansas does make sense from a SECN standpoint. SEC hoops desperately needs someone, [I]anyone[/I], to play competitive games against Kentucky every now and again. Kansas could certainly do that. And let's face it, the SEC could afford adding a "basketball school"...I think they have football covered. If the B1G wants Kansas for its AAU, then they could generate quite a little courting war between the two conference giants. Personally, I think Kansas would be better suited for the B1G. The money they could make from sports and AAU affiliations would be too good to pass up. After Kansas, would Baylor or TCU interest the SEC? If not, they would certainly land on their feet in the PAC or ACC. Or would OU politics try to cram okielite down the SEC's throats? One thing is for certain: the B12 is a dead conference walking. Finding homes for its members is anyone's guess. My guesses are: Texas - ACC WVU - ACC OU - SEC TCU - SEC KU - B1G Baylor - PAC Everyone else: welcome to purgatory! [/QUOTE]
