So many moving parts - A&M

The landscape is always going to change, especially over the next two years. More... Texas A&M is extremely unhappy and wants out of the SEC. Almost as bad as FSU felt about their snub. The Aggies got out of the Big XII because of their rival Texas. Now they are entertaining what it might take to get out of the SEC. The Longhorns stealing their baseball coach was just another dagger. Plain and simple however, A&M does NOT want to be in the same conference as Texas, nor do they wish to play them in all sports. We'll see like everything else. This is a dynamic realignment changer right now because see my first sentence. There are some things I would like to post here using info I get and more speculation, but they are going to fall under the "coming soon" ESPN category, which seemingly makes some people upset...despite their inner fire to subconsciously login and read these type of things.

It’s not the P2 driving the Bus, unless you mean ESPN and Fox, the SEC/B1G

Surely Does All Depend on ESPN & FOX Pay-Outs**

I think an Academic Conference would look at the Academies before
Sunsetunderground • 06/25/24 02:18 PM ET
Academies don't do enough research.**

They also don't have much potential in basketball after thinking about it,

It just takes a good coach and the abillty to keep the coach
HOO86 • 06/26/24 05:39 PM ET

I prefer the traditional name, the MAG7
Truthahn • 06/26/24 10:05 AM ET
But keep the Mag7 name even when adding more teams to be taken seriously.

I’ll try to translate. ACC will lose big football schools. So to survive

UVA just invested like $70 million in a new football facility
Sunsetunderground • 06/25/24 03:07 PM ET
But that would mean UVA would have to start playing football.**
wwhokie1 • 06/25/24 04:32 PM ET
You are assuming the post is referring to American football and not the
VTHokie2000 • 06/25/24 06:35 PM ET
It's going to take a lot more than $70M to make UVA relevant in football...
VPIGUY • 06/25/24 04:12 PM ET
I agree. They would be Vanderbilt in the SEC. But they are apart of
