Possible SEC Expansion? Examining the Candidates
Texas – The Longhorns’ biggest assets are their competitive edge and their ability to bring a new and diverse television market to the SEC. Texas would bring another national championship pedigree to the league at the expense of leaving behind some heated rivalries. The Longhorns would have to make the Red River Rivalry a non-conference game and, combined with a SEC football schedule, Texas would be looking at one of the toughest slates year in and out. However, Austin is a football crazy town that would fit in well with the rest of the SEC’s campuses, and while it’s not a perfect match stylistically, the overall success of UT’s athletic programs and the addition of a huge new market make the Longhorns a great pick-up.
