Realignment opinion

[RiceDawg]

In case any of you are afraid that MSU will be kicked out of the SEC in the future. Here is why I think we’re safe. Let’s say that State and Vandy get the boot within the next 5 years (these two teams are who the media would say needed to go), and the SEC adds North Carolina and Miami. This all looks great on paper, but not everyone can win games every year. The losses will pile up for some teams over the years and then the media will say kick x and y team out of the conference. First it’s State and Vandy, then it’s Arkansas and Missouri, then it’s Ole Miss and Kentucky, etc. The low to middle tier schools in the big conferences are still valuable because they provide wins for the big boys and people watch their games.

What a sad and defeatist opinion you have of us…. We are not leaving the sec and we are not a doormat of the sec anymore

Show me where I said we were leaving and where I said we were a doormat.

Dumb thread. We won't be kicked out. The elites may leave us 30 years from now, but we're not getting kicked out.

Enjoy the money.

We're not just "a win for the big boys" anymore. Haven't been for a decade now. We're able to and have been competing every single week of the season no matter who is in front of us.

We are founding members of the SEC!! Some chose to leave-Suwanne, GA Tech (who was too good for us), and Tulane. I seriously doubt that the conference will ever get so big for its britches that it will start asking teams to leave. That is social media ******** of the highest order.

You brought up a made up fear that we will be kicked out of the sec. That’s never going to happen.
Then you brought up that our only value to the sec is that we are here to get beat up by the “big boys”. Over the past 15 years we are 6th in the sec in wins. Also only UGA and Alabama have a longer active bowl streak than us

Well, you kind of said it here,

"Let’s say that State and Vandy get the boot within the next 5 years (these two teams are who the media would say needed to go"

IF (and that's a huge IF) the SEC decided they were going to try and kick teams out, how in the blue 17 are we one of the first two to be kicked? We're an original founding member for 17 sake.

We are still a top 30 revenue team, money is all that matters.

Dude… the sec invited Missouri in. I think Mississippi State is safe. Vanderbilt is safe as they are a founding member- unfortunately.
