So is this a 100% leave the conference? Seems to me they just wont be renewing their media rights but that doesnt mean that they could not be renewed.

I guess my questions is what are the odds that this gets done? I heard something about the Texas legislature objecting to it?

Sweet. Would be pretty awesome. Do we think it will take a couple years to happen, or is there any chance this is in place for next year?

I’m eager to hear the latest. Thursday night on Sportscenter with Scott Van Pelt, the Yahoo Sports College Football analyst said the earliest they could join the SEC is start of 2022 season.

Another thought / discussion - Does the SEC become so powerful that the NCAA is no longer relevant?

Lets just say Texas / OK join and then for shits an giggles say CLEM / FSU and ND all joined the SEC forming a super conference (its a super conference w/o them. For the sake of discussion ..)Does anyone care what the NCAA says at that point?

Welp. I guess West Virginia will be in the ACC. Time to force Notre Dame's hand as well.

It’s been time for ND to play by the rules of everyone else.

I have no idea where this ends, but a SEC championship is now on par with a natty.

Most years that’s already the case.
