Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Duke, and Virginia or Virginia Tech.
Also kick out Missouri, Kentucky, and Mississippi State.
The conference has now gotten better, removed the damn Yankee schools and removed the dead weight that is Mississippi State being a shite school in a small tv market state.
West
Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
LSU
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
Texas
Texas A&M
East
Duke
Florida
Georgia
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Virginia

I like the ACC, but I would support a move to the SEC. Preferably with UNC.
With Notre Dame, Louisville, and now the GOR I don't think the ACC is going anywhere. Not for a decade at least.

I wanted West Virginia instead of Mizzou. I really enjoyed watching that game when LSU played them in 2011. WVU fields a good team regularly, has a nice stadium with a good atmosphere, and adding them would have expanded the SEC brand to a new area.....unlike if we added Clemson or FSU

I'd be more interested in conference contraction at this point.

Go back to 10 teams and everyone plays each other.

Enough good teams in the SEC as is. Hold as is please.

Oklahoma has been tied to Oklahoma State by their state legislature. You will never get them by themselves. This was proven during the 2011/12 shakeup when OU looked everywhere for a conference that would take them and OSU but was left without any takers BECAUSE of OSU. They'd kill to be anywhere but stuck with Texas. If it wasn't for OSU they'd already be an SEC or PAC-16 school.

Lets say the big 5 work out a deal with their own division. 80 teams every team stays pat, ND keeps TV deal with NBC , put becomes football member in acc, BYU goes to PAC.
So you Confs are set for expansion to 16 teams... Who you got?
ACC- 15 + 1?
BIG- 14 + 2?
B12- 10 + 6?
PAC- 13 + 3?
SEC- 14 + 2?

I think Syracuse and Penn State would be good, Penn State being an AAU member like Mizzou and A&M makes sense academics-wise plus they are a perennial power in football (when not on probation). Syracuse is great at basketball and with the money, from the SEC we can make them even better in football then what they are now. Both are from the New York/New Jersey, we can give them yankees a reason to like college ball and get the money from the potential millions of viewers we could get.

I asked this earlier but either nobody read it, or nobody cared to answer the old fart's question.
What's the process? I assume it's a vote by the members, right? What sort of majority does it take to invite somebody? If it requires a unanimous vote, forget about Texas and I would guess Clemson and maybe even FSU. On Texas, there are at least 3 schools that will never vote for them. And OU can't possibly leave OSU behind, so they're out unless you want to replace MSU at the bottom of the academics list.
If the SEC has to expand due to outside influences (B1G) my first inclination is UNC and UVA. I see scrooster knocked that down and prefers NCState and VaTech and he actually made sense... but then I remembered he's scrooster and why should I care what he thinks?

Yeah, I'd rather not have a bunch of kid touchers.

I feel like after one game down here in the bible belt that would never happen again

I'll keep saying it
Notre Dame makes the SECN a national network on basic cable.

That would be a really interesting team to bring in, especially knowing it would eventually come to a point where "game of the century" (Alabama vs Notre Dame) happens on the reg

Based on the remarks by the conf commishes. I bet hey have a back room deal for everyone to not poach. They are going to leverage themselves against the NCAA, to get the deal they want , but part of that deal will be to expand by bringing in some of the smaller market schools. This will allow the number of teams in a new big boy division to be as close to 80 as possible. Their party line is all to similar , they had to of cut a deal with each other.

That's what I would want. Also I am for anything that hurts VA Tech. Overrated team, with horrible fans.

That's what I fear as well. Due to that, I think ODU would be the most likely out of VA. Which as a VCU fan I would hate as well. Besides we have enough thugs in the SEC, no need to bring in the Tidewater thugs.

I dont give a fvck about conference footprint. I would love to add Clemson and FSU. Move Mizzou west and call it a day....and by "day' I mean a badass conference.

Duke and Georgia Tech would be my top choices. We have enough football value to sustain the conference as it is. Academic and basketball history would be a nice addition.
