But if we get UNC and Duke I wouldn't complain.
Hey, I'd love it if the SEC added UNC/Va, or Va Tech, or Duke... but the ACC has made that pretty much impossible with their new conference arrangement.
If the SEC wants to expand they have to poach from teh Big 10 or a midmajor to get to 16. I'm not sure people are really excited about adding ECU or some team like that though

I could never see us taking big 10 teams. Maybe Maryland but absolutely do not want
Posted on 5/2/13 at 5:44 pm to Patton
Oh God know not Maryland. Please, God, no.
You know what would be pretty badass though? Miami.
I only say that because I'd frickin love to be in South Beach watching them play LSU.
They would immediately be back as the 80's U.

I'd take FSU and Miami no questions

FSU and Miami are "no goes" for the same reason the more desirable schools of UNC, Va, Duke, and Va Tech are not possible. They are in the ACC and that new contract makes it functionally impossible for the SEC or Big 10 to poach their teams

What's this new contract you speak of

Never thought of LSU as a fan base full of pussys until all the recent scared of UF talk.
That's just the dumb arse fans who frequent this site often. i love the florida game and don't see why people wouldn't. Yea it's a tough opponent but isn't that the point? I would rather keep the UF game than play UK or Vandy more often.

I for one am fine with dropping the permanent cross-divisional games for another rotating cross-divisional game. What I don't get are LSU fans who act as if they have been good and UT terrible since college football was invented.

Nick Saban the 1st SEC coach to publicly favor a 9-game schedule.
I know I'm supposed to officially hate the short little Napoleon but I salute Saban for supporting the best path forward.
And just say no to more expansion. 2 rotating cross division games plus a permanent cross division is the way to go.
Meanwhile, we've got a giant vagina in Nashville...

Vanderbilt's James Franklin described himself as a "huge believer" in keeping it at eight games. His reasoning is that it allows more flexibility for programs like his that are trying to rebuild, as well as the powerhouses trying to build up their playoff resume'.

If a member leaves the conference during that time, the conference retains the member’s television rights. Because the value of a school to a conference is the television revenue it can help generate, a grant of rights agreement makes the members essentially worthless to another conference that is looking for new members.

This is probably the best solution. Let Bama/UT, UGA/barn, and Mizzou/Arky (if they want to) keep their yearly games, and let everyone else drop theirs. The B1G will only have one cross-divisional game (IN/PU).
I'd be good with that. I think the rivalry games need to be protected, but if others don't want cross-division rivals, that is fine. Auburn will continue playing Georgia every year and LSU can rotate if it doesn't have the sack to play Florida.

Damn ACC not bad

I guess it could come to pass but it is a lousy solution IMO. Because it reduces those four major programs (UGA, UT, Bama, Auburn) to only playing the other opposite division opponents a couple times every 14 years
The big ten doing that goofy solution will have virtually no competitive impact on their league because both Purdue and Indiana are irrelevant

very similar to teh Big "12" agreement.
Ironically the Big 12 agreement probably inspired the ACC to draw up their contract. Ironic because the long term competitiveness of the Big 12 probably depended on them expanding into a major market outside of Texas (and stealing ACC teams like FSU, Louisville, Clemson, Ga Tech, etc was the only real opportunity for them to pull that off IMO)

No way to Miami. frick that.
As for teams that would be worthy opponents for the SEC and geographical close enough would be Oklahoma, UNC and Texas. Louisville would be decent but doesn't add to the footprint.

I really hope we stay put at 14 now that the ACC teams seem to be off the table.
IMO the only market worth expanding for is North Carolina. It has the population, the cities, and the cultural ties to make it worthwhile.

Especially Auburn fans with how we've match up lately, you won't hear us complain about stiff competition.
I've never seen an Auburn fan scared to play the top SEC teams.
Just the opposite, they usually want to play Florida, Tenn, UGA and look forward to it. and I don't even like auburn but they make LSU fans look like pussies.
