Aggies all in as proud SEC members

College sports and our country have a lot in common, they both are traveling down the same path of destruction.

yep , and they greased the tracks with zoom oil ....

Texas fought for the South in the Civil War. That's Southern enough for me.

I agree, MD, as I finish my bowl of grits. The last land battle of the war was fought in Texas.

I think TA&M and Mizzou are great additions to the SEC.  (USCe was lame when it joined, but has since become a good add.)  These two new schools field competitive teams in a number of sports and should carry the SEC badge proudly.  The SEC already is the premier league in football, and also competes nationally in gymnastics, baseball, softball and basketball.  Arguably, the SEC is or is becomming the dominant league in these other sports as well.  The two new schools can only add to the competition in the SEC and beyond, with complementary programs in these and other sports.  Nothing breeds success like sucess (and competition).    To me, the SEC's recent inroads in sports like softball signals the beginning of an era of dominance in these sports.  And while some may not like change, I think it is inevitable, with the SEC leading the way while other conferences scramble just to keep up.  The SEC had its first football championship game in 1992.  The Big10 and PAC12 are just now getting around to it, nearly 20 years later.  While I don't see Mizzou or TA&M being football powerhouses in the SEC, they will compete, and that competition will only make the whole league better.

So yes, it is about the money.  But it is also about the SEC becomming the most powerful, dominant league in the country, in a number of sports.
