If you can't understand why at this point, you don't deserve an explanation. You've been asking to be spoon fed information throughout this whole entire thread, just for the sake of playing dumb.
Sorry you're incapable of having an intelligent conversation.
Because you monkeys (no racist) like to fling around and see what sticks. 99% of the time you're wrong. Has one of your "sources" been correct yet? If people are playing dumb, it's to prove the point that you and your fellow Aggy don't know . You can't explain why you're leaving because butthurt wouldn't be a logical explanation.
I'll list three reasons that aren't the LHN, since you're too ing stupid to think for yourself. Not surprising for a sip.
1. More money
2. National exposure
3. Recruiting advantage
And lol at the guy making a preemptive "lol" thread saying we're the ones that are normally wrong.
1. $18 million is not more than $20 million (not even counting buyout)

1. You don't know the value of the contract yet, whether you want to or not. $20 million guarantee are beebe bucks. Doubt you know what I mean by that, but I'm not educating you.1. $18 million is not more than $20 million (not even counting buyout)

2. SEC has a network that promotes their teams. B12 could only dream of such a thing. Laugh or not, it's a fact.
3. Multiple recruits have chosen their school based on conference affiliation this year alone. Players like compe ion. Turns out, Alabama and Auburn are better than Baylor and Iowa State.
#1 is no guarantee
#2 A&M already has
#3 is especially silly considering how well A&M has done this year.
no surprise that goose stepping Aggie fan cant accept that the main reason for leaving is sheer butthurt.
I would bet you any amount of money you'd like that the Aggies will make more money in the SEC.
A&M will gain much more exposure being in a conference with a TV deal and being in a premiere conference that works together.
It's still an advantage. At the very least it's a difference that could swing a recruit from committing to texas, ou, or tech.
If we were that butt hurt we'd not be offering to keep the rivalry in tact.
Why are Texas, Florida St and Michigan all currently ranked in the top 3 spots?
Why is A&M even in the top ten if they are scheduled to play teams like Baylor and Iowa St?
1. Beebe bucks? ing Aggy. You take from the smaller schools in the Big 12 (Texas does it too) and then that you're not getting paid enough. And then you go to a conference whose television contract stipulates that they don't have to renegotiate. They will, but only to raise you to the level of the others which is $18 million. And then there's that buyout, which for a program already in the red will not be pretty. Did I mention that you are a state school?

how much more exactly?
give an educated guess.
the Big 12 has a TV deal and there are no conference games on the LHN.A&M will gain much more exposure being in a conference with a TV deal and being in a premiere conference that works together.
lol working together
the SEC has not gained a reputation for cutting at each other's throats for nothing.
if it were really that big a deal, all of the SEC would be in the top 20 recruiting spots.It's still an advantage. At the very least it's a difference that could swing a recruit from committing to texas, ou, or tech.
minimal advantage at best.
losing the UT game would hurt A&M more than UT.If we were that butt hurt we'd not be offering to keep the rivalry in tact.
A&M is definitely butthurt. No way around it, tbh.
Vanderbilt's SEC recruiting advantage is well known.3.
Veritable powerhouse thanks to SEC exposure.
I didn't say that the SEC was a guaranteed top 3 class every year. In fact, I said it could be as little as a difference. But, let's play by your rules.
Top 10 2012 recruiting classes:
5 SEC schools
5 all others combined (one of which will be playing in the SEC in 2012)
Yes, because our SOS will be weaker going to the SEC. We get the same amount of $ for the game.
It's Sept.
but none in the top 3
It's August.
It's Sept.
Let's just crown the longhorns then.
Fun fact: Gilbert was a 5 star recruit. Colt McCoy was a 3 star recruit. I know who I'd rather have running my offense.
People put too much into these rankings, imho. Sure, it's great seeing Texas A&M in the top 10 on that site but it really doesn't mean anything.
Assuming automatic sell outs for the games.
Well, I can promise you we'll sell out Kyle Field this year.
then we agree that the recruiting advantage is minimal at best.
Let's get back to money.
How much more do you think A&M will make by being in the SEC?
Has anyone factored in travel costs? No more buses to Austin or Waco for the other sports. Flying will probably be 100% of the time for all sports and band members.
That adds up fast, tbh.
Can you promise a Vanderbilt or Mississippi St sell out in 2020?
South Carolina? Kentucky? Ole Miss?
Such an incredible accomplishment for college football's most passionate fanbase.
It depends on which number you're going off of. Most estimates are about $21-25mm.
Yeah, that's a factor of course. A small sacrifice in the big scheme of things. We'd still drive to Dallas for our Arkansas game and likely drive to LSU for that game. That leaves Auburn, Alabama, Miss. St. and Ole Miss for the SEC west. Travelling to Nebraska (while they were around) and Kansas weren't short trips. A trip to Tuscaloosa is shorter than to Lawrence. A trip to Gainesville is shorter than to Boulder (when they were around).Has anyone factored in travel costs? No more buses to Austin or Waco for the other sports. Flying will probably be 100% of the time for all sports and band members.

I can't promise anything that far in advance.
Thanks for recognizing.
