To be clear, you are arguing with my statement that “I wonder how Arkansas would look if the never went to the SEC (where I think they’re lost in the shuffle).”

Let the precariousness if your position sink in.

The basis of your position is like running into a wall and then telling the wall that it’s not there because walls are unlikely to occupy the same general area as your face. Sure, a lot of what you said is directionally right, but the wall doesn’t care, and you’re still the idiot that ran into it :/

Also, for the record, you’re not even right (beyond very broad strokes). (1) Arkansas almost absolutely would have gotten an invite had they a) wanted one, and b) not joined the SEC several years before. (2) Also, failing to appreciate the fact that organizations (i.e. schools) are not monolithic bodies, but are instead a collection of individuals with their own agendas is rich on a thread about the Big East. All kinds of otherwise unpopular decisions are made because the right guy was calling the shots at the right time, and he had an agenda. Saying that no reasonably possible series of events could have potentially landed Ark in the Big XII is a crazy statement. Before you try to lecture me about Ark’s hatred for Texas, remember that Notre Dame plays in the B1G.* Crazy things happen when people make decisions.

So again, I don’t think you understand how hypotheticals work, and you should probably do more research before try to lecture.
