Texas A&M now the most valuable program in CFB

[Bucky Dog]

According to Forbes overtakes Texas for the number one spot!

So you’re saying it’s possible to do way less, with way more?!

Seems the definition of 'valuable' needs clarifying. If it is the dollar value of the facilities that is one thing.

If it's attached to the quality of the product, that's another.

No ****. I’d really like to know how any program could be more valuable than Alabama when you consider overall success and brand. I’m sure A&M generates more local revenue and has invested more, but that doesn’t really mean anything. Bama brings in TV viewers and more merch sales than A&M ever will.

Ole Miss being at 21 is a 17’ing joke. No way those books weren’t cooked.

I thought the same. They only did the top 25, so we could've been 26 for all we know. That being said, I don't see how OM would be significantly more value than us. If so, how?

Because of Katy Perry's spectacular bosom of course!

Bringing A&M into the fold back in ‘12 has really turned out to be a great move for the SEC in many ways.

Missouri, on the other hand, I still wonder about...

 

[patdog]

Yeah. Arkansas and South Carolina were both good solid additions. A&M was a home run. Mizzou, I'm still scratching my head about that one. Should have just stayed at 13 if that's the best we could do. Too late now though.

Also, the SEC has been at least as good for A&M as they've been for the SEC. Interesting that now, after dropping them in 2012, Texas is now wanting to play them again in 22-23. A&M said, no thanks, our schedule is filled for the next 10 years. The balance of power in Texas has shifted.

Should have stayed at 13 and done away with divisions. AD's and the commish were obsessed with divisions and the conference championship game. I guess they didn't realize we could have just played a 1 vs 2 in overall standings.

 

[archdog]

Probably would have had too many tie breakers with teams that didn't play each other in that scenario.

You would just go with the higher rated team according to the playoff committee.

So, what would it take to kick Mizzou out? Asking for a friend...

Every time I see 'highlights' of them on SEC Network I cringe.

 

[Seinfeld]

I don’t recall the exact details, but I’m pretty sure that there has to be something pretty egregious along with a unanimous vote from other conference members

A better option might be for the SEC to simply stop inviting them to conference events, and maybe they’ll get the hint and leave on their own at some point

 

[patdog]

I think it's more like a 75% vote. But it will never happen, so no need to worry about it. I like your ghosting them suggestion. Let's just do that.
