LSU, bama, Tennessee, ole miss, miss st, Arkansas, vandy, Florida, Kentucky, a&m, Georgia, south carolina will be leaving however. Tulsa, Tulane, ECU and several other teams to be named will also be joining. Also, the media contract will be renegotiated and the name has been sold to the departing teams.
But great news!!!!
I'd go for that. We would basically be adding Missouri and Auburn to the AAC alignment.

Even the SEC at 30-50% of the payout the other teams get would be a move up from the AAC........

Don't worry, Bevo doesn't want to be in a conference with SMU either.

Well at this rate being in a conference with UT might be the only way to have relevant football for the subsequent 25 years.

and I'm sooooo glad they did but, as far as I'm concerned, ut can go to hell...SMU should never be in the position to have ut, or anyone associated w/it, tell us what to do.

I agree. I would rather NOT be in a conference with T-sips. However, UT or no UT, I say TAKE the first major conference that comes our way. While we are waiting - win 10+ each year and have a Merry Christmas!
(As to earlier statements perhaps we should have tried to join the NFL back when Collins was the head coach. LOL)

So far, we have elevated our program to be attractive to a dying relevant conference. I don't think we have upgraded enough to be attractive to a vibrant conference.
Yes we have improved but we are not there yet.

I agree and we need to earn that respect.
We are not SNL's Stuart Smalley, who said, "I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am attractive person. I am fun to be with."

I understand and sympathize. Expect to keep reading it.
The bottom line is that the Big XII is, once again, on the clock, based on the new ACC deal. The conference simply cannot carry on longterm in it's current state - there are too many problems. They will have to either expand or they are most likley going to keep getting picked apart.

Just wait until football season, every time a team wins a game one of their bloggers will post some unsubstantiated drivel about (insert name of Big 5 conference) being interested in inviting them. These days you can get a lot of mileage out of recycling stories.
