It’s time for MSU to leave the SEC
- Thread starter Lettuce
- Start date
What does telling who will win the football and basketball championships have to do with us leaving the SEC? You sound like you're high on something.
So you are saying an *** kicking in front of 100,000 people is better than an OT win at Boston College?
I can’t buy that
How would MSU leaving the SEC change your predictions for football, basketball, and baseball?
It wouldnt change your predictions, so why leave?
To quote a great man:
And FYI, in my scenarios above, we were the home team in both of those games.
I had a guy ask me that same question in the late 80s in New Orleans. Old dude in a trench coat and hat comes up to me and my dad nonchalantly asks. Was too little to remember where exactly but I know it was down by the river.
Funny you bring up the Revolution because what you are talking about is not the American Revolution, it's the French in WW2.
We may have gotten the **** kicked out of us for our first 90 years in the SEC but the next 10 will be ours... Because much like Washington crossing the Delaware on Christmas night, we got the 17ers overconfident now. We already one our first battle last summer in Omaha.. This little boat's about to cross the river mother17er and I have 3 words for you...

EXACTLY!!11!1!1! It's like everyone wants to be a movie star, but other than the casual sex with hot women, what are the advantages? Never understood why more movie stars don't go to work for the DMV or why more SEC teams don't try to get into the Sunbelt.
I like you Lettuce. Never met you but anyone who was a friend of Pickle is a friend of mine but you are wrong.
Yes, we might be not as successful as you want every year but the exposure and prestige of being in the SEC is better than the other conferences. Anyone who wants to invest in our school, sports program, or NIL won't put big money in a program that belongs to the Sun Belt conference.

To be honest it wouldn’t be a surprise if the SEC doesn’t exist in 10 years… The BAMA, UGA’s, LSU’s, A&M, UK’S , FLA , OK’s, Texas and Tenn of the world could branch off into their own Super Conference with ND, PSU, OHioState, Oregon, Michigan, USC etc.
That’s why we HAVE to be good in Football and to lesser extent Basketball to stand a chance to make the cut.

Lettuce, I say this with all due respect...
Delete your SPS account, cancel your internet subscription, throw your computers, tablets, and phones into the street and set them on fire, then walk into the town square with your head hanging while somebody walks behind you ringing a bell and shouting “Shame! Shame!”

I think that's a possibility, but not likely. The presidents and athletic direcotrs and coaches at those schools aren't going to want to deal with the nightmare of playing against similarly situated schools every game. They'll also lose a ton of market doing that, so the extra money won't be worth it.
I think it's also possible that rather than having a super conference, they get more serious about cutting deadweight. It's probably not in those school's best interest to cut out every smaller market school, but they really don't need two schools from Mississippi, Iowa, Kansas, etc. Nor do they need more than three schools in texas or Florida (or maybe not even more than two?). I think this one is less likely even though it makes more sense because you won't see a dismantling of any conference under this plan, which makes it hard to do legally. Conferences would likely have to abandon all their IP and just start over with new names.
While I understand your premise here, and frankly understand where you are coming from the university can’t afford to leave the league. We as an alumni base are entirely to fractured to match the revenue stream needed to accomplish this. I agree the landscape of college athletics has changed for the worse and from here on out schools like us will struggle to keep up, mostly on the football field. That said, we need the welfare check to keep the rest of it from sinking.
We can't compete for championships? In football, no but neither can most of the SEC! In the last 20 years 5 teams out of 14 have won SEC championships. In the last 58 years 6 teams. The last year a team not named Tenn, Auburn, LSU, GA, FLa or Bama won the SEC? 1963 ole miss. You don't hear any of the other 9 teams talking about leaving. What does an BCS school in MS that is not in the SEC look like? Hmm...let's see...oh yeah, USM. Is that what you want? If so you are NUTS!
As far as baseball is concerned, the undisputed top conference for baseball is the SEC. You are delusional if you think it would not hurt State's baseball program if they left the SEC. It would.
In short leaving the SEC is about the dumbest idea I have ever read on this board.
What fun is it at least being in the conversation for a national championship in baseball? I mean, I enjoy it. I'd rather it be about football or basketball, but I'd rather be in the conversation about baseball than hoping it's one of the one or two times a decade that a non-P5 school wins, and that of those roughly 234 non-P5 schools competing, that we're the one that wins it.
Take whatever you just said, because clearly I didn’t read all of that ********, and shove it right up your ***.
I had that happen late one night at a Wal Mart in the mid 1990s. Dude was found in the retention pond. It is now in a real rough part of town, so that probably isn’t the only dead body found there.
This would be the equivalent of all the guys lately who can't win in men's sports so they decide they'll *say* that they are female so they can compete against women just to be able to win something.
