How Long before Texas ...


Yes we have all heard Texas and Oklahoma are moving to the SEC.   My question is "how long before Texas tries to convince The SEC to have The SEC Championship game in Dallas, TX at Jerry World - AT&T Stadium in Arlington Texas.  The SEC Football Championship game has been held in Atlanta since 1994.  So, how long before they bring up the idea?   How long before they suggest a rotating schedule of every other year between Atlanta and Dallas?  UT suggested this strategy of moving the Big 12 Basketball Tournament from Kansas City to Dallas and they were successful with that bid.   

The current SEC Basketball Tournament is scheduled to be played in Tampa Florida this year 2021/2022 season.  But, next year it shift to Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN.   This is where I believe the UT power suits will attack first.   We'll see if this causes any type of riff, kind of like it did in The Big 12.   

I'm no Nostradamus, but my prediction is Texas begins these little power games shortly after they enter The SEC.   They will want to establish this power order at the Top of the heap.   They have only done this twice before with the now defunct Southwest Conference, and The Big 12 conference that they are choosing to leave.   Once that get a Championship Game be it football or basketball the fireworks begin.
