What I love about this map is that Texas is where it should be and aggie is up in Texarkana. I'm so hoping this is the version of the map that sticks.

Well orchestrated indeed.  Joint application, immediate response from SEC.

I'm not sure what to think about the date's other than legalese, you don't give reason for suit.

Lol, supposedly the Longhorn Network will become the SEC West Network and be headquartered in Austin.

Aggy head explosion in 3…2…1…

IT has mentioned that as a possibility, with the current SEC Network covering the other division.

Are we really going to have to wait until 2025

Likely 2022 and 2023 backup plan

Texas will find the road to Omaha steeper to climb. Great for college  baseball overall.

How so?

Winning conference championships maybe (though the big 12 is pretty dang good at baseball too) but with a 64 team tournament your conference is in no way a barrier to Omaha. If anything, it may help Texas secure even better seeding.

I don’t think so. I think it will be 2022.

Oh, please, sweet baby Jesus by all that is holy make this come to pass.

We should have a big unveiling show where LHN transitions to SEC West Network (SWN). I'll even suffer through more Lowell Galindo if this happens.

Are most of you thinking that this was very well choreographed?  Anyone?  Everyone?

They say that timing is everything...

I say it’s done by Friday.  What say you?

Hook ‘em!

Chick-fil-A must be in charge.

Looking like all could be official when recruits start arriving for the weekend.

Good points B12 did pootly vs SEC this year. Which conference had final teams.

Betterseeding? how Texas has always had good seeding over years.

Better recruit some better hitters to compete in SEC. IMO

Occasionally this KU grad, horny toad schill gets it right.

It will be funny if LHN pays for our move to the SEC. Even better if the SEC Network keeps the Austin studio open to focus on the 8 SEC West teams.

Not sure exactly how it plays out but you have to figure that ESPN was very involved in the decision process and planning.  My guess is they built some kind of flowchart of how things could play out and for each scenario layed out how they would help minimalize the financial impact of the transition to TX and OU.
