re: If conference goes to 16 teams, should we invite Tulane and GT back?

I do.

Fist-Bump Missouri.

Still think the West would have been a better spot to put you guys though. My pet peeve is that geography really needs to matter more. Auburn to the East makes more sense, instead of kowtowing to the Gumps.

1. We already have 100% coverage in Texas. We don't want another Texas team.

2. We want teams from populous states NOT already represented in the SEC.

3. NC State would get us mucho coverage in a populous state. Virginia Tech would do the same for Virginia and the DC market.

4. Forget Oklahoma. State is too small and their legislature demands both Ok State and OU remain in the same conference. We would LOSE money in the SEC payout of we took those two schools.

This guy gets it. If there is another SEC expansion, it will be NC State and either Va or Va Tech.

 think that's too bad already with 14.

Agreed. We already have too many. Why the regular talk about adding more?

No Sewanee

do not want

Threads like these are always entertaining because people start naming names like Oklahoma, Texas, Clemson, and FSU as if this was just one big PlayStation game.

No. They bring nothing to the table, plus they left...frick 'em!

I don't care for Tulane back in the SEC unless you want to have a beatable team in the SEC West to sort of schedule a break for the power teams.

Well, duh! Why does FLA and GA get to cake walk into the SECCG every year? They have UK, Vandy, Mizzou, and SC to beat up on. Who does the West get to beat up on? MissState? Theyre better than all those teams except maybe SC. Its bullshite.

The East gets a basketball school, a nerd school, a school for SJW-LGBTQs and some cocks. The West has to deal with a bunch of hardasses that play man-ball and the Faggies(Mr. Deep Pockets).

The biggest issue, if it comes to that, would be the ACC's ridiculous penalty for leaving the conference ($50 million). In a case like that, it might make more sense to add a smaller NC school like ECU that could be potentially built into a stronger football program, and then add a South Florida or Oklahoma school. Expansion will be tricky, if it occurs.

My opinion is people are shortsighted.

Look, let's assume that Virginia Tech and NC State both wanted to come.

The two TV markets they could get you into are great ones.

If you were the Supreme SEC Overlord and got to make the decisions, it would make perfect sense for the 100 million dollar cost to be spread across all 16 teams (be about 7 million for each school). That's a one year thing, about what schools get hit for when they feel the need to can a coach and staff these days.

Those TV markets are going to be with you a long time, and frankly that is where the money is. No brainer to me.

As for ECU they aren't as well known as some of the other NC schools. But they have passionate fans.

Lot of talent in NC, and they have recruited the Tidewater area successfully in the past too.

Not so sure anyone should overlook that program's potential if they somehow got an SEC invite. Heck their stadium isn't much smaller than Mississippi State's (if it is smaller, not going to google this).

And as long as we are going hypothetical, I'd rather have West Virginia than Virginia Tech. My kind of people.

Teams I would be ok adding:

Miami (FL) / Florida State
NC State / UNC
Oklahoma / Oklahoma State
Texas / Texas Tech
Virginia Tech / Clemson
