Keep in mind that a reputable source did vouch for the post:

Darren Rovell needs to STFU until after aTm is out and BYU is in.... the SEC presidents might be reading this stuff. Maybe the Big 12 can give the SEC Baylor and/or ISU as well.

Texas A&M adds some of Texas, but it does not deliver the state of Texas like the Longhorns do. And the SEC already has a lucrative championship game.

"Adding one or two teams does not cause the entire agreement to be renegotiated," said Neal Pilson, former CBS Sports president, who now consults on television deals.

While Pilson said it's hard to argue that A&M's addition would dilute the conference, he says the Aggies have "minimal impact." "There are smart people at both ESPN and CBS and I would anticipate that they foresaw this type of contingency," Pilson said. "Based on their record over a period of time, it doesn't appear like Texas A&M is going to be in the top tier of teams in the SEC. So if there's any adjustment to the TV deals, I would anticipate that it would be a very modest adjustment, if anything."

No kidding, he does. Downplaying the significance of having a footprint in the state of Texas is absolute crap as well and they know it.

I feel sorry for whoever wrote on that chalk board with dry erase markers. That sh*% don't rub off!

You can still see remnants of last summer's PAC 10 pipe dream.

I think this particular white board is only used for conference realignment.

Cecil: "Tom, I'm hearing rumblings about BYU to the B12. Whats happening?"
Tom: "We have an invite, but there are still some questions. What if Texas decides to leave in a few years? And how will the LHN affect BYUtv?"
Cecil: "Good questions. Let's get up to the press box at the stadium and white board this sh**"

Cubie neighbors are looking at me funny...

Nice! I'm not surprised they let drop-ins up there, what with the current goals of increased fan access and program exposure.
