What would a reconstructed SWC look like?  

A&M
UT 
Tx Tech
Baylor 
Arkansas 
OU
oSu

I’d be fine with those core members. Would you try to pickup a team or two west, like Arizona or ASU?  Utah, BYU ?  I mean, if it’s called Southwest, it would be somewhat prudent to include teams from the actual southwest I think?  

Arizona
ASU
BYU
Utah

Need one more school to round it out. Maybe one of the TCU/Baylor/Smu type schools?  TCU has had the most success on the football field out of that bunch, but Baylor won the men’s BB championship a few years ago ( I think).

Baylor is in your core group, so you'd have to pick TCU/SMU/other.

I have zero desire ever to play Baylor again, in anything.  Just a corrupt POS school, just as bad as Penn State.

FIFY!

Baylor is the great example of everything wrong with big-time athletics at a supposedly religious school.

Nah, Penn State covered up child rape for decades.  They're just as bad as Baylor.

SEC cheating/corruption is nothing like Baylor or Penn State.

Heck, most of what the SEC was always guilty of doing, is completely legitimate now.

https://www.chron.com/sports/college/article/nick-saban-nil-texas-longhorns-aggies-legislation-20317204.php

This article makes little sense.  Basically it's saying that A&M and UT don't want Nick Saban in charge of revamping college football NIL because the playing field was not equal?  

Saban lamented in 2022 that NIL "creates a situation where you can basically buy players," and he noted that the lack of a "salary cap" undermines the chance at a "level playing field."

So basically anything that puts Alabama at a disadvantage is bad.  Got it.  Strange article from a Texas rag.

I have no idea how Saban got this kindly old grampa image.  He was as ruthless and cutthroat of a college coach as there ever was, and he never had any problems with Alabama boosters buying off players before NIL rendered the bag game obsolete.

That's not what I got from it at all.  Rather, it was "anything that cuts into the advantage that Texas and A&M currently have is bad."

Saban managed to observe OU's practices in the Sugar Bowl before the 2003 (season) BCS championship game.

It's not a secret that it happened. What was in contention was the intent.
