Expanding so soon again would be a mistake
The SEC has the luxury of being able to sit and wait while other conferences are desperately trying to get to the top. Let's see where we are in another 5-10 years and determine if expansion would be good for the conference.

The ONLY rational way to expand the SEC is to take one team from North Carolina and one team from Virginia. That would INCREASE our revenue.
Taking two teams from a tiny state like Oklahoma would REDUCE the income each SEC school gets from our media contracts.
The SEC gets too much $$$ from Texas and Mizzou to ever consider getting rid of them.

There's absolutely no reason to expand without a UNC, UVA, or Duke type school and the ACC is pretty well locked in at this point so that's not happening.

Now being until the 2030s. That is a long time in life, and by then college football might be fundamentally different.

your assuming something doesn't "happen" to the ACC, nullifying all that mess. Or we just don't flat out buy em out.
The SEC gets what the SEC wants.

ESPN agreed to prop up the ACC until 2030 so it is a safe assumption. If ESPN fails the SEC is also in trouble thanks to the SEC Network.

The ACC GOR for each team will be worth over $200 million (PER TEAM) when all is said and done. No expansion candidate is worth that.

I think we all can agree with getting rid of Missouri. Missouri absolutely brings nothing to the table. They can say They won the east but we all know that was a fluke and eastern division has been down the past few years.

Mizzou is a P5, AAU, flagship school in a big state. Just stop already.
This is the only type of school that the SEC will seriously consider adding in the future.

I'm far from an expert on how the TV contracts work, but it a team went from one ESPN TV contract league to another ESPN TV contract league, maybe they would be willing to forgive the rights part?

This is all I found.

I dunno who told you he went to Texas A&M, but nowhere does it say that and considering they're in the SEC, I would assume that little snippet would have been included.

He is a Texas fan posting on an SEC forum, you think he is here to spread some facts?
