    What a way to launch a network! We're live....too bad noone can watch. You'd at least think ESPN would offer it online or something.

    In unrelated news [sarcasm font]....I'd like to welcome A&M to the SEC.

    Who outside of Texas really cares. LOL ESPN demanding 40 percent is greed from the get go. As the article said.... who in Arkansas is going to watch. LOL Who in Alabama? Who anywhere outside of a Texas fan.

    No question Phillip. A&M is headed to the SEC I'm pretty sure of that with their new letter to the B12.

    The question now will be when (not if) the Big 12 dissolves, where are the rest of the teams going to end up? I'm pretty sure the Big 10 is done with adding on for now at least. It sure will get interesting.

    I think the Big 12 could survive but it would have to add some teams maybe SMU, TCU or/and Houston. If Texas and Oklahoma stay in, then the conference can survive on those 2, I think. If Texas decides it wants to go the ND route and be an Indy then you'd see it fall apart, with some teams going to the Pac 12 and some maybe to the SEC. Who knows the SEC may even try to poach a couple more and get to 16 before Texas makes a move to Independence. If realignment continues though, it's certain going to change the college football landscape dramatically.
