[quote]Which school has the largest *public* school endowment of the group?

/quote]

What? HUH??? WHERE DO YOU GET THIS STUFF ???????

Mizzou System has an endowment in the $2 Billion range.

Texas A&M's is over $18 Billion.

Just the fact that a Mizzou grad thinks 2 > 18 pretty much says it all. We should boot your school just for that post alone

Vandy and the Mississippi schools are charter members in the SEC. They are going nowhere. Unless they choose to leave.

The money involves television. Missouri grabs a market share of the St. Louis television market. That’s all the powers that be care about. They understand that there won’t be seven really big games in one weekend. A game like Ohio State vs Michigan gets picked up by a network and then broadcasts nationwide. So…..Missouri vs Arkansas grabs a percentage of a large TV market. They don’t care who wins. Oklahoma and Texas coming in sewed up Dallas, Houston, and the slightly lesser viewing audiences in San Antonio, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City. If that add more teams it will be teams like Miami which has an obvious viewership and schools like Virginia Tech, Clemson and teams in that region because it brings a large viewership (capital and surrounding area)

I imagine the first step is consolidation down to 3 major football conferences.

Contraction of the power 3’s membership would be the next step. Even so I imagine that the best the Big-12 could do is get to 16 in this reshuffling. So the Big-12 would have room to accept cast offs to get to my hunch of a magic number (24).

Good point, but at least for now, it’s all about TV

Eventually it very well could, but honestly with the sec and it's rabid Fandom. Vandy would be the only team on the chopping block maybe one of the miss schools. Hypothetically speaking if the sec was bama auburn lsu aTm tex ou Florida uga and Tennessee, 9 schools and the sec needed to get to 20 what expansion candidates are really better than the not mentioned sec teams minus vandy. Fsu? Clem? Unc? Oregon? Washington? Miami? You'd still need to find five more schools better than usce arky miss st miss and mizzou. Long story short if that were to happen vandy is the only team that should be worried

That doesn't even take into consideration if the sec is trimming fat so is the big ten, and arky usce mizzou and miss schools are infinitely better than Indiana purdont northwestern Rutgers Minnesota, it'd be dumb for most any sec school to worry about being left out.

If you can raid the acc with better fits like Clemson and fsu than yeah I could see dropping a team like mizzou vandy or uk who are better fits elsewhere.

The only way a team from the 1932 agreement leaves is on their own decision (Sewanee, Tulane, Georgia Tech).

The sec will match the big ten,and it's no secret they have a spot open for ND plus one, and are going to add Washington and Oregon to go with usc/ucla. That's 20 at minimum. It'll take more than clemson and fsu to knock current teams out. I do agree fsu and clemson are better gets than some sec programs but it'll take at least five teams to knock one current sec team out of your hypothetical

Every conference needs easy wins, otherwise the schedule would be too brutal.

I'm not exactly sure why the OP thinks the SEC would kick out members- especially those in the southeastern footprint.

Vandy is untouchable; as the only private school in the conference, they shield the SEC meetings from FOIA requests
