[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 994678, member: 630"] What Texas shenanigans are you referring to? Texas has the biggest fan base in the SEC--that's right--the SEC--by far. The disparity in the Big 12 was even greater. If not for Texas and OU, no one would have paid any attention to the Big 12 in years past, especially after NU and CU left. If you are talking about the Longhorn Network, what was Texas supposed to do--ignore an asset so that it could slide to mediocrity like the rest of the conference? It wasn't shenanigans, it was jealousy by other schools. The rest of your post is correct. It's not about media markets. It's about eyeballs. The schools that are moving to the SEC and B1G have them. Unfortunately, we don't. I'm not sure FSU does either. And why would Auburn, UF and others want the recruiting competition in their backyard with another SEC school? A reason Tech isn't in the SEC is because Dooley wanted the GA recruiting advantage as the only SEC school in the state. We have three things going for us re: the B1G. 1) We are an AAU school (FSU isn't); 2) We open Georgia and the SE to B1G recruiting and 3) lots of B1G alums in ATL. I still don't believe we are all that attractive at the moment, unfortunately. [/QUOTE]
