the Big 12 Conference, has been rumored to be imploding for several years which may create opportunities for other conferences. Big 12 Conference members are still not pleased with the Longhorn Network (and neither is ESPN) and their inability to secure a lucrative conference network package


I've always considered OU and OSU to join while the big 12 sinks.


Four 16-team leagues.

With the intrinsic brand value the SEC has created, it has long been thought only the elites will be considered for admission. However, reaching into the heart of ACC territory and securing two leading television markets will take a visionary statement.


But I'd be giddy if ECU was even mentioned by the SEC.

Delete thread, ban user

We are now getting back in football mode and this is an off season type thread.

I think the SEC's brand power could build them up fast. They could easily be the best team in the state in a few years

Shouldn't the ultimate goal be to get to four 16-team leagues?

Then you wouldn't have 5 leagues, where one is bitching about not being included.



ND and WVU to the ACC
UT, Baylor, TCU and TTech to Pac 12
KU, KSU to Big 10

Iowa state gets sent to mid-majors

64 teams in four leagues. Symmetry.


I think ECU would have to wait.

ECU would be a great addition. Why does every team that joins have to be good at football? They would open up the North Carolina market a bit and with SEC money who knows what they could be.

Not like we were hot shite when we joined. Hot dog shite maybe.

Baylor wouldn't be bad...nor TCU, if SEC is looking for N.Texas market.


ECU could be the best team in their state....something Auburn can't say.

Still can't believe they don't have an ECU logo. I'm just glad they have VCU.
As for the OP, ECU wouldn't be my top choice, but they would be a solid addition IMO. And with the ACC GOR, the only way to open up NC for a while. I just hope that doesn't mean they get desperate to add VA. The only option would be Old Dominion.

They should expand season or cfp to top 25 with a play in game and give the top 5 or 10 a bye.
