See the numbers in the link above. Your original post below quote:if true, and if it’s about the money, does this affect schools like OleMiss/Mississippi State, Iowa/Iowa State, Kansas/Kansas State…?
Just as I thought, you add nothing to substantiate your argument.
Of course it’s about money.
Ole Miss and State financially benefit from being in the SEC, not the other way around.
They are no more significant than Washington State without this benefit.
Again, please articulate why you believe them to be programs that would be included in tandem in a 40 team league.
Additionally, I’ll take a stab at the other 40 teams who would likely be in over a pair of Mississippi teams both being included-
Look at the 247 recruiting rankings, there are 40 teams listed in the top 50 that would likely be considered before Mississippi State and Ole Miss together are in the group.
Maybe individually one Mississippi school (Ole Miss) would be considered, but not both.

Nice speculation on something that will never happen.
As BLD noted, no SEC school has ever been dropped. Schools have left on their accord (I am sure two of them deeply regret the decision).
The SEC will be a major player going forward and none the original core teams are going be left behind.
State & Ole Miss are just as important to the conference as the other ORIGINAL 8 teams are. Period. Exclamation Point!
But I will give you credit for stating your opinion on a message board.

While I agree with your premise that Ole Miss and MSU are net negatives for the SEC in terms of the money they generate compared to the money they receive...
WSU is on another level. Everything about that place screams "Big Sky" other than they are Academically stronger than the typical Big Sky school. But the school,the athletics, the town, the location, the remoteness just scream "Big Sky"...
Ole Miss and MSU feel SEC more than they do Sun Belt. Although Starkville for a long time felt like a Sun Belt city. It doesn't so much anymore.
