A&M To The SEC Nearly A Done Deal ??

Completely disagree.

Let's assume there is a 10% dip in attendance for the replacement game in Austin, Lubbock and Waco (2 or 3 dates) as well as for the 2 or 3 dates in College Station when they'll be hosting an SEC team instead of a Big 12 team from Texas. I don't think this is true, but I'll go with it.

Where this argument completely fails is that the current Big 12 games between Texas-based teams simply moves money from one part of Texas to another. It doesn't bring money into the state. Replacing these game with other offerings that bring in tourists is going to be an absolute windfall for the state of Texas. SEC folks travel. So do fans of a lot of other programs. The only way the state loses money is if either the Big 12 replaces aTm with a program like Houston or if they drop to an 8-game conference slate and Baylor/UT/TTU puss out and schedule cupcakes who don't travel or cupcakes from in-state for the replacement games.

And as the article points out, not only will more dollars be coming in from out of state from presumably larger numbers of fans, but also more SEC fans are likely to overnight in Waco (College Station is nearby, especially in Texas terms of distance).

Also, aTm fans already know that Waco sucks tapir balls, but Baylor might get an uptick in tourism from out-of-state opponents until them Cajuns from across the border figure it out.

Maybe this Perry fella ought to do a study on how much money Baylor loses because their program sucks, and has for quite a while. Or maybe examine the revenue lost simply because Waco is a ****hole.

This is what happens when aTm displeases her master.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
 
Chip Brown tweeted about how ironic it would be for aTm to announce they are applying for the SEC this Friday as LHN launches that day as well and then another tweet said that aTm sources said not today
 
I bet they do pick Friday. They'll want to steal the thunder and the weekend media cycle from UT.
