WWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????
To fill the 14th slot.
Finebaum has said one thing lately that I agree with. The way this whole expansion deal has, and is playing out makes the SEC look a little clumsy.
My take is like I said before, they told aTm to wait until they had #14 lined up, then they'd make the move. aTm got too nervous and started looking at other options, and the SEC took them in as #13 out of fear of being left behind without further plans to complete the league. Now, they're in a bind. You can't play a fair league schedule, with unequally sized divisions.
On the bright side, maybe it's a stopgap measure. TCU? Did they every play a Big East Game? Nope, now they're in the Big 12. Maybe we replace Mizzou in a year or 2.
Bottom line...WE are the Jones, and we shouldn't be trying to keep up. The SEC would have been just fine the way it was.
