Rick Perry says Texas A&M is talking about SEC move

If advancing to the national championship the year after losing 4 players early to the NBA is choking, then what do you call tamu? What has their bball done that makes you think its at that level? An SEC team has won the last 5 national titles in football, what has tamu done that makes you think its at that level? An SEC team has won the last 3 college world series, the last one with 2 SEC teams playing each other for the title. What has tamu done that makes you think it comes in dominating there?

For baseball I said they'd be top 5. You can't tell me that isn't reasonable. SC, UF, Vandy, who else?

Heard about that this morning. At first I was thinking that TAMU was just making noise. But now I think they WILL do this simply to get out of the shadow of U. Texas. I think Texas getting that Longhorn Network was the last straw for some die-hard TAMU folks.

I see your point and since the Big 12 is no longer and with Texas getting all the publicity it would drive them the other way and PLUS I think the SEC's stock will go up more THAT MUCH MORE!
 
Plus I think this will be good to get those talents looking in the SEC direction because their is a LOT of talent in Texas and I that would make the SEC in the rehlm of UNTOUCHABLE :nod:!
 
Basketball.
Only 4 SEC teams have won it in 22 years.
since 1990, the only SEC teams that have won the SEC basketball Championship has been Alabama(1990, 1991), Kentucky(1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2010, 2011), Mississippi State(1996, 2002, 2009), Arkansas(2000), Florida(2005, 2006, 2007), and Georgia(2008).

Big 12 started in 1997.
Oklahoma(2001, 2002, 2003) and Kansas(1997, 1998, 1999, 2006, 2007, 20082010, 2011)
The only other team that has won the Big 12 in basketball is Iowa State(2000), Oklahoma State(2004, 2005), Missouri(2009).

Texas A@m has never been to the Big 12 finals in basketball.
 
Texas A@M won the Big 12 baseball Championship in 2007, 20010, and 2011.
Texas A@M women won the tournament basketball championship and national Championship in 2011.
Texas A@M outdoor track ---- MEN----National Champions 2009, 2010, 2011
Texas A@M outdoor track---- WOMEN----National Champions 2009, 2010, 2011
Texas A@m softball----------National Champions 1982, 1983, 1987.
Texas A@M Golf ------MEN---- National Champions 2009

Mens basketball----------12NCAA bids----0 final fours.

In basketball, the Big 12 from top to bottom is much better than the SEC. Kansas, Texas, K-State, Baylor, A&M, OK-State are all better than the rest of the SEC outside of UF and UK.

Exactly. The SEC is only dominant in Football and have some success in baseball but not like the Texas schools are scrubs at that either. But let folks tell it on this board. The SEC runs everything in every sport.

This discussion is pointless lol. TAMU would be average in the SEC just like they are in the Big 12. That's pretty much that. Texas will still get all of the good recruits and I wouldnt be surprised if TCU even out recruits them. None of that will change just because they join the SEC. They will be another Ole Miss in the conference.

Just like half of the SEC teams are overall athletically. Outside of Football. What does Alabama do? Florida is the only school in the SEC with a great overall athletic program. They do everything pretty good and great at some others. All yall think is Football. A&M would be consistently better than half of them sorry arse schools like Kentucky, Vandy, Ole Miss, Ms State, and let Spurrier retire from SC......they go back to being below average too. Auburn raises it's head up every 10-15 years in football and suck at everything else. TAMUs overall athletic program is better than them too. That's what the SEC commish is looking at. But you cats see Football and ride Kentucky on basketball. When the rest of the conference suck consistently at Men's basketball. So TAMU couldn't be any sorrier than those outside of Kentucky and maybe Florida. Baseball wise, they will compete with the top schools. How do you reach the CWS and finish number 6 in the country and be sad? SC winning will be only as long as that class they got stays in school. They are not LSU in baseball. Again outside of Florida. What SEC school is consistent across the board in all the sports. J4L done showed yall how good their track team is.

You SEC folks are all delusional. You would think the SEC wins all the NCAA titles in everything. LOL.

ummm JR,
Yall were the ones who said tamu would come in and do so much in all sports. So, while an SEC team may suck in one sport, there is another SEC team competing at the top level nationally in that same sport.
Tamu didn't strike fear in the big 12 and they wouldn't in the SEC either.

This was basically my point lol. Dude just likes to argue against the SEC.

First off its about money.... The Big 12 revenue split is laughable... A&M and oklahoma are just going along till a better chance jumps up.. That chance is the SEC.... The SEC Television revenue split is $23 Million plus per team... It aint an AD or school president that wouldn't love to start the year with $25 - $30 Million in the back pocket....

As far as competing.. Someone said it before, its all in the hire... Franchione was a horrible hire from day one.. He tried to operate at A&M like he was at New Mexico or TCU.. The Right coach and Aggie Football can be in the Top 5 in the SEC.... The mens basketball program would be in the Top 5 in the SEC... Womens basketball would be neck and neck with Tennessee...
Track and Field... Nuff said... Baseball is top of the line.... Soccer is Top 15... Facilities and fan base match anything in the SEC....

Have you lost your mind? Texas A&M would be behind Florida, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Arkansas, Georgia, and South Carolina in football. Shoot, Mississippi State would probably beat them too. Don't let that 1 national title fool you, Texas A&M is nowhere near the level of Tennessee. Baseball would be second tier behind Florida, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt. Not to mention LSU and Arkansas are also powers in baseball. Softball would have to compete with Florida, Alabama, LSU, Georgia, and Kentucky. Soccer would have a much tougher road with Florida in the conference. They can forget about gymnastics, swimming and diving, lacrosse, tennis, and volleyball. The only thing I can give Texas A&M is their track program and their fan base. They have a solid athletic program, but to think that they would instantly be at the top with much stiffer competition is crazy.

Don't forget that LSU won the title 2 years ago. They aren't going to be sad for too long. Arkansas is also an excellent program.
 
They announced on ESPN that Texas A&M is going to the SEC; Clemson, Missouri and Florida State are possible additions as well...

I see the SEC was thinking the same teams I posted earlier. Clemson is a good fit and Missouri is close to Arkansas and a state over from TN and Kentucky isn't far either. Good academic fit. Getting Florida State will intensify their rivarly with Florida.

I would take Missouri because you could get the St.Louis and Kansas City Market as well. Clemson and Florida State won't deliver you a another big TV market like Missouri can. Having Florida State in the SEC wouldn't intensify the rivalry, both schools already hate each other.
 
How will Clemson and Florida State joining the SEC affect those two institutions academically?

Vanderbilt is Ga tech....

na..... Ga Tech aint no Vanderbilt.... Vanderbilt is a Conference USA school in disguise..... UAB has better facilities than Vanderbilt does. Honestly you could live in Nashville an entire year and not even know Vandy is in the city unless you drive past their campus.... All you see in UT orange all over the city.
