AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEEMS TO THINK THIS WHOLE SCENARIO IS ODD???

So, wild rumors, from Texas, swirl around aTm joining the SEC. Now, supposedly, our presidents are holding a secret meeting. REALLY? Is this how conference restructuring works? These things are not planned months in advanced, talked about ad nauseam by the powers that be for months at a time? Are we really supposed to believe that the way these things happen is that aTm suddenly decides that they want in, and they, and the SEC, scramble to make it happen? Oh, and it's not until this critical moment that they start asking questions about the legalities of the matter. REALLY???

I believe that t5he SEC wants the Texas market for Recruiting as well as TV dollars. I think if aTm comes aboard, it does us best to take VT or Mizzou...again for the TV dollars. The only issue I see is that if the schools aren't good Bowl teams, the amount of money gets divided by two (or four) more. I'd get some stat professors to run the last ten years' data and pick the right schools.

I think NCSU would be a good eastern partner with
aTm. I would think NCSU would be tired of being 4th
in it's state. They aren't particularly good or bad at any
sports. I am sure the basketball coaches would love to
have CMG back to beat up on.

Ouch, that'll leave a mark. No pun intended.

It would leave (theoretically) Oklahoma, Missouri, North Carolina, Duke, Virginia Tech, and Virginia on the table.

Personally, I don't care for adding Virginia / Virginia Tech, for two reasons. First, they'll almost certainly come as a pair. I would prefer Va Tech only if we took either of them. Second, if we take both to take one, then that leaves out the two North Carolina schools. I don't like skipping a state.

Personally, I'd prefer to add:
Missouri
North Carolina
Duke

My second choice would be:
Oklahoma
North Carolina
Duke
You don't have to skip a state, VA borders both KY and TN....I want to point one thing out. UVA and VA Tech are not as closely tied as many think. For the vast majority of their rivalry, they existed in seperate conferences, and the powers that be here had no real issue with that. Va Tech would come only if they could keep the game with UVA, like USCe and Clemson, FSU and Florida.

AJC seems to think that it is in Hotlanta! And Louisville may be the 14th target.

Big 12 tries to keep A&M as SEC considers adding
A search of flight plans from all airports SEC schools would use show ATL as the only common destination city. TIFWIW.

Also, DS claims to have prioritized list of 14th addition to SEC.

If SEC presidents invite, and aTm accepts, next SEC wish list in order: FSU, Clemson, Miami, Oklahoma, & Virginia Tech.

Any idea when the meeting might be over and when word will leak out, if any?
The TexAgs folks have some pictures from Hartsfield on one of the threads. It appears the meeting's over, and "Goodbye to Texas University" has a new meaning.

I've ben thinking about the political angle, and I'm inclined to think the Aggies have a trump card in Perry. He's at the height of his political power.

Disregard my post about the votes...nothing other than tweets from supposed insiders at the moment, which is not reliable news source...

I almost posted Louisville in my earlier post about taking a basketball oriented school from the east...they have mid-major football program and good basketball program and great bb rival for UK; Probably not at at the very top of the list but it wouldn't surprise me if they're on it...
