LSU would never leave the SEC,Arkansas Maybe

No way the money is better in the SEC. They were hoping to make money from the network in 3 or 4 years? And here they are making 3 million in the 1st year. Every school is the country would love to be in the SEC. Every school.

If LSU is really upset with the SEC, then the situation of favoritism in the Big 12 would be 10x worse.

That's lame no way LSU leaves

 

[superflyby]

If anyone believes this will happen is foolish at best. The "one" conference that can cherry pick members has "one or two" that would leave ? NOT !!!!!! There is no upside to this....

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

I think any SEC will be courted and they will listen.. Maybe to get something better from the SEC office like an easier SEC football schedule???

I hear ya, but not EVERY school, esp those in the Big Ten since they're bringing in more $$ than SEC schools.

Forbes said with the new SECnetwork, they will jump everybody at the end of this year,

 

[jeff2001]

5 million for each school the 1st year . That is crazy .The big 12 and more importantly the ACC will falling further and further behind. It took the big 10 network 6 years to get to 7 million for each school. Within 5 years the SECNETWORK will give the schools check of 20 million.

LSU leaving is laughable. But Arkansas does have a segment of fans who see the Texas schools as natural rivals and may have nostalgia about returning. (Sound familiar?) But the money precludes it ever happening.

 

[GatorlandGamecock]

I don't think even Hillary Clinton is dumb enough to believe that will happen.

 

[Clevercock3]

Just read an article last week where LSU was pondering bankruptcy.....

Perhaps they are making some noise to try and get a better deal from the SEC due to their fiscal issues.....

 

[SwampFox99]

I never said I believed they would leave. All I was saying is that if they did leave, it wouldn't be any better for them in the big 12. The only teams the big 12 cares for is Texas and Oklahoma.

No, but I bet Ted Cruz is.

LSU, the university itself is in financial trouble.....i think you may be right

Yes, and like our fans that still wax nostalgic about our days in the ACC, even those Arkansas fans admit that annual games against LSU, A&M, Alabama, and Auburn is more exciting than annual matchups against Texas and Oklahoma.

Does the SEC have an exit fee? I don't know because I've never heard or read anything about one. There's a reason for that.

Yes the SEC does have an exit fee. It is called losing a potential $20 million a year LSU is not going anywhere.

Our fans that "wax nostalgic" are getting up there age wise. It really bears repeating we left the ACC before Watergate. And we've now been SEC members longer than we were in the ACC. But I still hear them talk about those days when I go to Gamecock club events. It's interesting but nothing more.

Since you didn't live it, it's hard to understand but just try to imagine how much it bothered the ACC when FM1 went undefeated in regular season. John Roche made the Big Four look like anything but. That hasn't happened too often and I guess the ACC still admits it when posting a history.
A lot of us older fans REALLY hated the ACC competition and that made BB and FB so exciting. I don't hate anyone in the SEC.

Well Said!!.....colacock!!!

 

[GatorlandGamecock]

I agree, Ted Cruz and Clinton are two sides of the same dumb azz coin.

Some clown on a Kansas State site proposes this ludicrous hypothetical, and "there's some talk out there about it." Stupidity on steroids.

 

[Supercock1984]

LSU isn't going anywhere,ya can tweet that

 

[CaliCock]

After reading all the blackhole retarded replies to this thread, I'm actually sorry I created it

 

[Francis Marion]

I could see LSU leaving, they could dominate the big 12 and go to more playoffs. LSU leaving would hurt the SEC at the same time.

LSU isn't a program that would shy away from competition so doubt that is a factor!! They are a big time program,the are capable of winning the SEC any given season

 

[Francis Marion]

LSU, Ark, Texas, Okla, Okla State, Baylor, TCU, Kansas State would be a strong conference.
