[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1230683, member: 527609"] Anything contractual could be worked around, and if you don't understand that academics don't matter in this by now, I don't know what to tell you. Look at these divisions West: Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Mizzou, Mississippi State East: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, South Carolina, Kentucky, Vanderbilt That's untouchable. A Rest-Of-America 16 would struggle to match that. That's the NFL of college football, both on the field and commercially. That's obvious. The question is if that's powerful enough to blast through Texas' first-among-equals arrogance and whatever the Oklahoma legislative situation is when the time comes. My guess is yes. In 2025 or whenever, this is happening and the rest of the tectonic plates will need to shift accordingly. [/QUOTE]
