A Texas-OU move to SEC isn't about the greater good for


Jul 27, 2021, 10:36 AM

college sports, but rather who gets to be the best:

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/31891294/a-texas-ou-move-sec-greater-good-college-sports-rather-gets-best
Let's be real about a likely Texas-OU move to SEC: It's all about being No. 1
Growing and changing any sport isn't new and, at most times, is necessary. But the rumblings of Texas and Oklahoma likely moving to the SEC remind us that the power brokers pulling the strings don't factor in the greater good.

Too much money involved to worry about the good of the sport. Winners always get the money. Losers get to talk about the greater good of the sport.

Good article and agree with the comparison to NASCAR. We don't know what the unintended consequences of this power grab will be.

some have suggested it’s about money but you are short


Jul 27, 2021, 11:29 AM

Term focused if that’s all you care about

So, with his NASCAR analogy, is he saying it should go back


Jul 27, 2021, 11:34 AM

to the days of 'run what you brung'?

Why do dogs always race to the door when the doorbell rings? It's almost never for them.


Ed Zachary. And they should go back to letting the drivers

You never know what is going to happen when you start toying with something that has been successful for so long. There can be a price to pay when the money, power, and the dissolving of the personal experience occurs. While college football has not been perfect, it has had a personal appeal that professional sports cannot. You grew up a fan. You attended the school. You invested in it. It really is YOUR team. NASCAR is the perfect example of what happens when you kick the foundation away from something that has been sturdy, dependable...and ours.
