Sporting News: OU and A&M may look at SEC

If Texas really cares about "saving" the Big 12, they'll drop this notion of televising high school games of their recruits.
A&M seems sincerely ****** off. You should read their article on Rivals, it's ridiculous. I almost want this **** to just go down so I can stop hearing about it. Fans of all these schools in the south not named Texas and Baylor feel like this conference is merely a time bomb waiting to explode.
I have a hard time believing that the state of Texas would let A&M walk away from the Big 12.
Also, I don't think the Longhorn network really does that much more for Texas recruiting. Maybe for other sports, but not football. Only so many people can play football for Texas.

I havent been paying any attention to this "talk" this year.
But, if Okie and A&M leave, that doesnt mean the end of the Big 12 does it?
Could we replace them with a BYU and an Air Force in a jiffy? If so, I'd be ALL for that.
Id just assume not have to play Okie each year. I feel like we already have enough "ringers" on our schedule.

Meh - I'll believe it when it actually happens anymore. I'm a little tired of reading BS Big 12 doomsday scenarios from certain media members that are just dying for it to happen.
This is different than a lot of the other articles that state that change is about to happen. This is not just throwing out some **** and seeing if it sticks this article is talking about a specific scenario with the Longhorn network that is not fair. The Longhorn Network should not be able to televise high school games because then those kids see themselves as being represented by Texas and that will give Texas a big advantage in recruiting against Oklahoma and A&M. This won't sway any recruits away from Iowa State because we don't recruit the same kids but it will change the dynamics of recruiting in the Big 12.
Nothing more then OU and A&M fans crying foul over Texas having a fan following large enough to allow them to have their own network. If OU and A&M want their own networks then maybe they should focus on building a fanbase and brand that can stand alone. If either of those schools was in a position to start their own network they wouldn't be crying about it.
Bunch of *******.
Bunch of *******.
If they go to the SEC and join the big time cheaters, that won't stop Texas from broadcasting high school games. So that advantage for recruits is still going to exist.
If these sore losers would quit crying over what Texas has and join the other Big XII schools in forming a network then maybe they can broadcast high school games as well.
Texas can only bring in 25 recruits a year, thus this is far more about jealousy and egos then actual recruiting advantages.

For you folks clamoring to drop Iowa because our schedule is too tough, better think more in the future because the B12, in about 3-5 years, ain't going to be what we think / hope it will be.
This is all about pride and bruised egos, which is why I think it will die off. Business sense rules the day, usually.
A&M and OU are making waaaaay more money than they were a year ago, and that number will only go up in 2015. If they go to the SEC, A&M will get their brains beat in and OU will have a MUCH tougher row to hoe. They go to BCS games damn near every year. They'd probably go to half as many in the SEC.
They'll leverage some more money, and they'll stay in the Big 12. This notion of consolidating as many power schools into one conference as possible will fail for a simple reason: a new pecking order will be established, and some large, big name schools will become the new losers.
Either way, I'm a lot more confident in ISU landing on their feet than I was a year ago.

If the NCAA allows high school games to be televised on that network then I am done with college athletics. That is far and away a major recruiting violation.
