Tommy Tuberville, of all people, warned us of the inevitable discord.
The Big 12's days were numbered, the Texas Tech coach told Rivals Radio back in June of 2010, because there was "too much disparity between all the teams."
For his candor, Tuberville was publicly reprimanded by Beebe. But he had spent 14 seasons coaching in the SEC, where network revenues are distributed equally, and Tuberville knew.
When Tuberville coached at Auburn, he knew that if hated rival Alabama received $1 more from the league office, Auburn fans would revolt.
Imagine a league where one school is about to receive $300 million more.
Yet, as the Aggies prepare to march into the SEC, it won't only be because of the money, substantial as the 'Horns' impending pile is. The exodus is about the Aggies having their fill of a league that's being bullied and run by its bitter rival.
Tubbs is a smart man and a great coach. He needs to be back in the SEC where he belongs. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes the first SEC gig that opens up even if it's going back to a Mississippi school.

Sometime this week, the schools of the Southeastern Conference are expected to formally accept Texas A&M as the league's 13th member.

Gil LeBreton is a moron.
Oklahoma - Wants nothing to do with the SEC. The Dirt Burglars can run the table in the BIG XII and make it to the BSCNCG much easier than they could win the SEC Western Division. Plus they want to take their little brother OSU with them wherever they go and OSU is not welcome in the SEC.
UNC - They are the ACC. Good luck prying them away from Tobacco Road. I'd have a better chance of getting a date with Jennifer Anniston.
Virginia Tech - Could be, but not likely at this time.
Maryland - They rolled their eyes at the Big 10. Why in hell would they even consider the SEC.
Geez! I've read so many bullshite, dead wrong posts and tweets from journalists with "inside" information that I don't think any of them know more than me.

the problem is not A&M it is the other teams that we need to come with them. Without those other teams nothing is happening and the SEC IS NOT GOING TO MAKE a MOVE until the others do and you can take that to the BANK.

Tommy Tubberville nailed it a year ago! When he was reprimanded by BebeeI laughed hard. I predicted this would happen before the 2011 football season started and for the life of me cannot understand why it took so long. I guess that is how divorces go, they just take a long time to finally do it.
