The SEC isn’t looking to add any more teams to their conference, according to multiple SEC sources via Saturday Down South.
With USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten and a myriad of other programs looking for future direction, many have theorized the SEC could open up their doors, like they’re doing for the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners. However, that doesn’t seem to be the preference of SEC presidents.

First common sense thing I've seen on this topic thus far.
Bout fricking time.

1. Have these types of things ever been accurate? The shadows.
2. You are telling me if the B10 tomorrow adds: ND, Stanford, Oregon, Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC, Virginia to get to the rumored 24 that the B10 wouldn’t become the deepest conference?

It's weird how people act like the SEC has to react to the Big 10 adding USC/UCLA when they were the ones reacting to us making (much better) additions a year ago. 7 of top 10 most valuable programs (5 excluding OU and Texas) are SEC. Hell, 6 of the top 12 are SEC charter members.

The most sensible outcome would be for there to be 4 conferences with 16 teams each.
That would basically cover the existing P5 teams and eliminate one conference.
My guess is that you will have the ACC, SEC, B10, and a combo of B12/Pac12.
ACC could add WV and along with ND have 16 teams.
B12/P12 could drop BYU, UCF, Houston and Cincy but add Colorado, Utah, Stanford, Cal, AZ, AZ State, Oregon, Oregon State and Washington to make 16.
Obviously that is leaving out a team (Wazzou). But the only way to include every P5 team would be to make the four conferences 18 teams each and then you pick up a couple of add-ons.
Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out in time.

One of the programs who many believe would have their choice of whichever conference to join is Notre Dame, but a SDS source stated that their may be no need for the Fighting Irish in the SEC.
Seems legit.

Thank God.
This is one subject we can put to bed.

Another team or two from the ACC will not bump the TV contract with Disney, Inc enough to warrant an invite to any of them. People are also overlooking the contract the ACC has with its' members, you know the thing they all signed.
None of those folks re exactly free agents now or in the future.
When a TV network has a contract with a conference there is a limited number of time slots to broadcast games. The SEC already has an attractive cast of teams. What can Clem, UNC, VT or FSU add to that??

They’ll say that until the B1G starts to shoot for 18/20 teams

Good, now we can go back to arguing about conference scheduling.

Good. Let all these other pissant schools like FSU and Miami float around in their dog shite conferences
