If the SEC gets the Texas and Oklahoma colleges, it should be changed from the Southeastern Conference to the Southern Conference. Yeah, cause then it'll have major colleges in all the geographical Southern states.

All I know is it can't be called the Southeastern Conference because it has every state in the South. The PAC-10 has teams not on the Pacific Coast, and the Big 10 has 11 teams, so I don't think something like having teams in both the south central and southeast part of the country would force them to change their names.

Well, technically speaking, the SEC CAN stay the SEC even if they add the Texas and Oklahoma schools, cause even when adding in those two states, it IS still the Southeastern chunk of the country.....

Geoff Ketchum, the owner of OrangeBloods.com on his twitter(gkketch):
"If you thought this week was going to be a wild one, wait until next week. If A&M/UT part ways, all hell will break loose in this state"
And it may have. A&M is dead set on going to the SEC, it appears, and there's now a power struggle between Gene Stallings(A&M regent who wants A&M in the SEC; former Alabama head coach that won 1992 national title with the Tide) and Texas Gov. Rick Perry(an A&M grad who wants A&M and Texas to stay together).
Edit: Wonder if A&M would ask the SEC to take Baylor as well to appease the Texas legislature? Since there appears to be no way that the Bears are going be offered an invite to the Pac-10.

I am fine in Texas A&M and Alabama have some really interesting history and a rivalry between those two would be understandable.

My only question in all these conferences going to 16 teams is about scheduling. A 16 team conference with two 8 team divisions could only have one or two non-conference games(12 game(13 if going to play at Hawaii) schedule, 7 games against division rivals, 3 or 4 games against schools in other division), so could the NCAA add one or two more games to the schedule?

Maybe they'll kill non-conference games altogether?

This thread (which I haven't read since last night) is the most fun thread in the world to read. Every second it seems like every school is going to a different conference. This is something we can agree on. Except, I still want to know where Missouri winds up ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) Also, if Mizzou ends up in one of these reshaped superconferences, and Kansas doesn't, I'll have two reactions. The Mizzou booster in me will die laughing. The college rivalry traditionalist in me will be saddened, Kansas deserves better treatment than they are currently getting. KU would be getting better treatment if they didn't have the FBI and IRS all over them. That's got to make conferences iffy about them.

I'm guessing it would be seven against the remaining division opponents, 2 games against two schools from the other conference, and 3 non-conference games. The 2 would seem to work just fine numerically with 8 teams in each division.

Is this only going to affect football or are these changes for all sports?

That shuold be intersting. I hope this doesn't screw up my future video games. NCAA football 11 is going to be out soon....it will not be accurate unless there is an online patch.

Well, the changes won't go into effect until 2012, so NCAA Football 11 won't need a patch for the conference changes.

These guys would probably prevent that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_ConferenceIn fact, a vast majority of the SEC were, at one point, affiliated with the Southern Conference. At one point, there was close to 24 members, but this was in the 1920s.
