What CBB stuff would that be?

Surely, you're not indicating that CBB had the least thing to do with the SEC signing broadcast contracts with ESPN and CBS.

This is why Arkansas did not go to the Little 12.  Disbursements are smaller and the conference is on the verge of crashing.

Totally. $40 million and 4 wins. Sounds good. $10 million per win, great ratio. Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi State got the same.  Until someone shows me a correlation between money earned from conference affiliation and wins per season, your argument is useless.

Their payout was around $35M a team.  Interested to see how those 5 extra mil are gonna translate to Ws on the field.

It would be closer to $29m, unless the school we would be partnered with was bringing a large TV audience. $350m split 12 ways instead of 10.

I'd trade wins for less money. But hey thats just me. But by all means lets continue to get paid a ton to get our bell rung every year.

Good for the Program.   Please folks stop any more little 12 talk.  The Money is just too good to leave.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Yep very good for the program. We need that money to continue to buy out all of our coaches. SEC Titles = 0, BCS Wins = 0; its totaly worth it.

What's wrong? You didn't find a way to use the C word in that post. 
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

It's why all schools, especially schools with benefactors like the U of A has, are able to make oversized buyout payments without blinking. U of A playing with monopoly money. Those here, and that would be most of you, who kept saying the U of A would not fire Bielema due to size of the buyout, did not understand at all the magnitude of the money falling out of U of A's pockets. The Bielema buyout is a one time event while the $41 million  + bowl revenue money is a recurring annual event.

Big 12 isn't adding more teams without upping their TV deals/final payouts. Come on, rice.  You know that.

So your logic is that the SEC is a far superior conference and the BIG 12 is trash. But if we moved to the BIG 12 it wouldnt translate to more wins? Yep that makes sense....

And we have done very well against big 12 teams the last 10 years, but lets just forget that.

Correct, since we add nothing to their TV deals, we won't be asked to join, you know that.

Are you making quite a bit off of it? Lol I laugh when the common fan talks about how great the $$$ is.

From my point of view ticket and donation costs only rise...even in light of "we are making so much money." Who is "we?" Sure AF ain't me. Costs as a regular season ticket holder have skyrocketed over the past 8 years in the midst of big time $$$$ tv deals and whatever else guys in suits affiliated with the university have schemed up.

It's just a little pet peeve of mine when I hear "we are getting rich" in light of the average ticket holder losing more. The SEC chest thumping by fans makes little sense to me. "Ya we have been throttled by Alabama for the past 10 years plus!!! Awesome! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!!"

I understand the stability concerns of the big 12 as legit reasoning why our school wouldn't want to be there...regardless I still don't see much, if any evidence that the SEC is a good fit for us. At absolute best...and I mean at our peak we are a middle of the road program. It'll be interesting to see if Chad Morris can get us back to that level of respectability and out of the depths with Vandy and Kentucky.

My personal hope is that some day before I die there will be complete country wide conference realignment where it actually benefits our program vs what we have now....the non stopping struggle to maintain middle of the road.
Thanks for the F Shack.

We are a BIG 12 school wearing a nice shiny SEC mask.
Which ANY current Big 12 school would gladly trade for.

We leave the SEC with our tail between our legs (to the extreme laughter of the college sporting world) and the millisecond we left, OU or UT would take our spot.

You think it's hard to get recruits now? Just wait until we're trying to sell a kid from Georgia or Florida to come play in the Big 12 north... It's not like the Texas recruiting would get any easier, either. I remember all those crowing about how adding A&M to the SEC would be a positive for the UA...while A&M has risen above us and now the rest of the SECW is raiding Texas with equal or better results than us.

Ya I'm sure Oklahoma State is dying to come to the SEC and throw away the annual top 20 rankings and 10 win seasons. Must suck to be them.

Stillwater, Oklahoma is obviously a much better venue to recruit to than Fayetteville.

We've been in the SEC a quarter century with next to no results. I wouldn't hold your breath.

I think OU probably likes knowing they are likely going to make the CFP every three years, but maybe that's just me.

Sorry dude. We moved out of that conference in 1991. You can hang your hat on being 1-1 vs. TCU and Texas Tech and being 2-0 against KSU the last few seasons but the rest of us would like to remain in a stable conference and compete against the best.

Of course they do. Saying otherwise is a "SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!" homer spin job. OU is sitting in a perfect situation. It would be dumber than a bag of hammers for them to willingly move conferences (especially the SEC West) so they could make an extra few million off a tv contract and whatever else comparable to what they already have.

What is your definition of competing? In the past 10 years we have "competed" in about 3 or 4 of them. I do however agree with the stability point of the Big 12.

That part is a myth. How many years have they been saying the BIG 12 was going to crash. Almost as long as we have been in the SEC. Yet the Big 12 continues to live.

That's a fair point. It wouldn't completely surprise me if the "the big 12 is unstable and could come crashing down at any time" mantra is simply SEC homer hype.

What do we add to the SEC footprint?

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/2011/1990-sec-expansion-southeastern-conference/

"The SEC's area of dominant influence fell short of the footprint desired by many consumer-oriented companies," which Kramer sought as sponsors. To make the "footprint" more sponsor-friendly, Kramer wanted to move into South Carolina, Arkansas and especially Texas. By targeting Texas, Texas A&M and Arkansas, Kramer had effectively declared war on the Southwest Conference, where all three schools were members.
