I have tickets to the bama game and yes they may get destroyed but it is always a great atmosphere when #1 comes to town.

Same for my Aggies. We'll probably never win a championship but we've had every game on TV so far and played fairly good football in the process. Never had that in the Big 12...AND we'll probably pocket more money than the Big Kahuna (Texas) in the Big 12 as will all the other SEC teams. Don't know what it is about the SEC but there is something special there and it's a good feeling to be a small part of it.

All of the big 4 conferences will probably be close to the same payout when all the dust settles. As far as watching games on TV, well, I guess I don't get to worked up over that. I will very rarely ever have the time to watch more than 2 or 3 games in a year anyway, so I don't care if they're on TV or not. Wouldn't be fall if I didn't get to listen to KSU on the radio when drilling wheat or cutting corn or milo.

Actually I don't know if their new deal has not come up yet. If you only get to see 2 or 3 games a year you must have your priorities mixed up. :wink: (jk).

I doubt you, or any team outside of maybe Ohio St, Notre Dame, Alabama and maybe 1 or 2 others will ever come within a stones throw of making the kind of $$$ that UT does. Just the way it is.
