Getting on local tv in TX is good for the other programs like us. A&M was never ever close to TX until they move to the SEC. U also had teams like Rutgers and Missouri who got accepted to new conferences while not being really good at anything in particular other than being in an area that gave the conference new footprints.
Fück Jim Delaney... of course he is involved in this...

Of course you did…and by doing that, you just proved you’re exactly what I said: delusional. Don’t let reality disturb your precious delusions. I love that you bash sec homers, which is ridiculously stupid to think that people are fans of a conference over a school. I would bet you on this topic but you’re way too much of a simpleton d-bag for me to care
Just like any large voting body, they assign smaller committees to investigate and make proposals. The expanded playoff hasn’t even been voted on yet, it’s only been proposed, and if schools or conferences don’t like it, they can vote it down. Like I said previously, everyone seemed to love a 12 team playoff until the Texas and ou news broke
TAMU dominated the state of Texas in the 90s under RC Slocum, and they were THE program in state. I grew up in Texas during that era, I remember Texas being utterly irrelevant to most people. It was TAMU that was running the old SWC and winning the Big XII, finishing seasons ranked in the Top 25. Texas was mediocre at best for most of the decade. Once the power shifted, TAMU went sideways. Problem was that TAMU completely went away from their program identity, and you saw Texas explode under Mack Brown.
No, not everyone was in love with a 12 team playoff. Many of us, myself included, think 12 is too many. Giving byes to the top 4 seeds is bs as well. To me, 8 is the ideal number - Power 5 champs, Best Group of 5 champ, and 2 at-large bids.
One of the finest movies ever made.
I meant the people who actually make the decisions, the AD’s and commissioners. I realize that some fans didn’t like it because they can’t agree on anything. Some don’t want a playoff at all still and wish bowl games still mattered, so I was never making the assertion that all fans liked the 12 team playoff idea. And all reports have said that ou and Texas were talking together to try and get in the sec, then they formally asked to be invited. There’s been no reports of Sankey or other officials pulling them to the sec, probably because it would be stupid to do that 4 years before they could actually join
Nothing has changed with the bowl games. They actually matter more because they are used for the playoffs. Also i cant believe people watch the pros, high school football and other divisions of college football and still parrott the nonsense that playoffs makes games irrelevant. It actually keep more teams motivated. In the BCS by a couple a weeks people are praying 1 or 2 teams get upset. Teams sitting at #7 undefeated has no chance unless catastrophe happened. It was the dumbest system of deciding a champion ever. Which was highly influenced by preseason polls.
So 2 bowl games matter, the other 42 don’t unless you’re a g5 school in a ny6 game
It has been reported Texas and OU made overtures to the SEC beginning in December 2020. You don't think the SEC wasn't vetting them during that time? You really think the SEC didn't look to see if Oklahoma and Texas would be a fit until they sent in their formal invites in late July?
