Let's say the mizzourites keep doing things to shame the SEC ... like talking like Yankees, worshipping gheys and, well, being ghey in general ... SEC fans will come en masse and take a million man dump in that freshwater pond full of cattails y'all call your drinking water reservoir.

Then we march on CoMo ... you can imagine what we do to the women and children after that. It involves introducing some alpha male genes into that pussified gene pool up there.

Here is the scenario that I think could destroy the SEC.

The Big Five Conferences are denied the autonomy/Division IV deal that they want.

Student loan bubble begins to burst, and college presidents across the country start turning focus back to academics.

Conference expansion heats up again. Texas and Oklahoma come to the SEC after an actual fight on the floor of the Oklahoma house to keep OU and OSU together. Now we have two Alabamas and three Auburns. Cheating goes to old SWC levels overnight.

The NCAA, more empowered by their academically focused presidents that are jealous of the SEC, demand that the NCAA actually do something. Alabama and Tennessee are put on a 2 year postseason ban.

The non-Big Six schools are caught soon after. MSU and Ole Miss turn each other in. Vandy has another rape scandal and the president de-emphasizes athletics. Georgia is caught in a really big act and is given Penn State like sanctions.

With four teams in a bowl ban, Mike Slive retires from the SEC. The SEC hires the Stanford president as commissioner, who comes in with a "Clean it up" mentality.

On top of it all, the SEC Network becomes a financial failure, and ESPN pulls it. Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas are lured to the new Great Plains Conference, and the SEC is left with 11. South Carolina and Florida begin talks with the ACC.

In a panic to get to 12 schools and keep the lucrative SEC Championship game, the SEC presidents have a week long summit in Destin. Every possible team that could be added is protested. Florida doesn't want UCF or USF, None of the ACC teams want to leave what has become a formidable conference.

Louisville is somewhat interested, but Kentucky valiantly protests. On the Thursday meeting, Cam Newton, post-career ending injuries announces that he is releasing a tell-all book which proves Auburn was as dirty as we all know they are. Florida and South Carolina announce they are leaving for the ACC on Friday.

The SEC is down to nine schools in six states. Georgia and Alabama, both on probation are considered the leaders. With the Mississippi schools and Tennessee on probation and Vandy in the permanent cellar due to their president's actions. The SEC title race is between LSU, Auburn and Kentucky. Auburn wins the SEC Championship and everyone is pissed because everyone knows they are the biggest cheaters out there.

So everyone gets back to cheating. Jefferson Pilot returns to Saturday mornings around the SEC with no fanfare. Kentucky announces that they are taking more seats out of Commonwealth Stadium.

The SEC isn't dead, per se, but it becomes the old Big East, barely holding on to its Big Five status. Talking heads suggest that ACC runner up Florida and Great Plains runner up Arkansas deserve a playoff bid over SEC Champion Mississippi State.

The entire SWC was corrupt. SMU just got better results from it, for a few years at least.

If LSU, Bama, UF, UT, UGa, or auburn got the death penalty got the death penalty that would. If A&M got we would just kick them out of the conference and replace them with Tejas. Mizz with OU. UK basketball would hurt but not destroy the conference.
