[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 811932, member: 3774"] I personally would like to see more SEC teams on our schedule either way. It harkens back to the old southern football rivalry stuff. But reading up on this, A&Ms position against accepting Texas into the SEC it looks like the SEC is trying to control their regional competition. If A&M is trying to control Texas and Georgia being against Ga Tech joining the SEC then the under lying SEC plan not being discussed is the smothering of the other conferences By the SEC. The SEC will only submit when the regional competition relents and joins. Until then it looks like The SEC is trying to deny in state rivals of The SEC prestige. The unique situation with Georgia and Tech is Georgia has the entire state and half of the Atlanta market as is, they don’t need to share anything with TECH nor does the SEC. I’d be surprised if the TECH-GA game survives this realignment. Right now The SEC feels well positioned in the south as a result they don’t want to be a ticket draw for non member schools. They are the poster child for joining them when you can’t beat them, as Texas and Oklahoma are proving. Tech gains more in its competition for the Ga market to have Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan St, Penn St etc.. visiting Atlanta than it does having Louisville, Wake, Duke or Syracuse if you exclude having the SEC teams in here. If the ACC messes this up TECH has to get out fast [/QUOTE]
