The Recap: So the ACC struck first by adding Syracuse and Pittsburgh from the Big East. The SEC followed by adding Texas A&M and Missouri from the Big 12. The Big 12 then added TCU and WVU. And things seemed normal. Patterns remained intact. And we waited for the next, seemingly logical move. And then [...]

The longest public secret courtship came to a completion yesterday as Missouri and the SEC finally pulled the public trigger, with Missouri joining the SEC. The move gives the SEC exactly what it needs: a new region with new markets to help improve it’s already massive television package. With Texas A&M joining and the SEC [...]

Now that Texas A&M has officially been invited to the SEC, the college sports world is preparing for what will happen next. But like any change, it is not without the unnecessary drama. And today’s drama comes from the clingy, about-to-be-dumped spouse, Baylor. Think of the Big 12 as some sort of kinky group marriage. [...]

One has to feel for Virginia Tech presidential spokesman Larry Hincker. the school was initially mentioned as a potential candidate for the 14th SEC position almost a month ago. The schools response: No…No…did we mention No. In fact, unlike other schools who use the common “we’re happy in the XYZ Conference and plan to be [...]

With the Texas A&M to the SEC talks heating up there was enough to think about. But with the potential that the SEC would expand again a year later, to 14 schools by adding Florida St., well that turns a small wave into a tsunami. Let’s start with the immediate effects of SEC expansion under [...]
