The Auburn Tigers have an opportunity to extend their brand with the additions of Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC.
Between the eighth and ninth day of December in 1932, ten Southern Conference teams departed to form the Southeastern Conference. The, and its entire athletic program, fanbase, and alumni are SEC bluebloods. Yet in 2024, no one mentions them in the same regard as Alabama or Georgia.
Now, schools employ NIL professionals. As a result, the quest for cash becomes that much more important. At the same time, the new rules should hopefully decrease the number of infractions. With Auburn, they will need to financially compete with the other SEC teams, bankrolled by wealthy donors. However, Auburn football needs to view these schools as just two new opponents, just like Arkansas and Missouri when they also joined the conference. On the field, Oklahoma and Texas present a football powerhouse that looks daunting.
To put it differently, the Texas high school talent attends Texas, Oklahoma, A&M, LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, TCU, Houston, UTSA, SMU, Texas Tech and Texas State. In that case, profound depth becomes an immediate problem. Now, players do not want to see a year or two and wait their turn.Overview
