You didn’t answer my question. What school do you support?

I don’t want any more expansion.
Give me my Power5 back
Give me my SEC West and SEC East back.

The SEC needs to expand out of the South if it wants to survive, let alone keep up.

The Big 8, including Texas and OU, will be the real players down the stretch.

The South per capita produces the most elite athletes in the country. We will be just fine.

UNC and Virginia are the best two additions. Then Florida State. Then Kansas.
Two South Carolina schools would be a giant waste. Being the undisputed best basketball conference in the history of college sports would be worth 5% of the conference membership.

SEC adds Clemson
Why?
Think about it- the true advantage the SEC has over the Big 10 is the stranglehold on Southern athletes. Only Ohio State, which is both a factory and kinda on the SEC's Northern border, puts out anything equivalent to what you see at Alabama, UGA, LSU, and Florida.
But Clemson and Florida State have pipelines into that talent, and could do quite well in an expanded Big 10. Both would challenge for superiority there, and give Southern kids an option into the playoffs with the Big 10's slots, while staying close to home.
In the SEC, they're redundancies, dumped into a hyper-competitive recruiting environment.
A similar but different issue applies to Notre Dame. You and I may say ND doesn't fit into the SEC, but the Big 10 would be absolutely terrified of them joining. That would put a viable SEC team right in the middle of their home market.
TLDR version- the SEC will not let Fla State or Clemson go Big 10, and the Big 10 will not let Notre Dame go SEC.

I support watching a quality football game every week when prices will continuously increasing. I don’t want to pay a higher premium but yet get the product of Vandy, Kentucky, Miss St and Arkansas

Nah. They won’t take UNC without Duke, and they won’t take UVA with VA Tech.

Florida State
Clemson
UNC or NC State
Va Tech

The Vandys and Dukes of the world will get left out at the end of the day. It’ll eventually be football only conferences.

You will not answer my question. If you are a fan of an expansion school to the SEC, then you got a lesson coming. No willpower of any expansion fan base will ever kick out a charter member of this conference. The original 10 would have to act. And that is very, very unlikely to happen. Maybe your team should be kicked out for making this suggestion? But then again, you will identify who that is.

Do you actually think the Big 10 would EVER consider inviting Clemson to their conference??
The Big 10 wouldn't give Clemson the time of day.

We don't need Clemson and their weird arse fanbase in the SEC.

North Carolina and UVA
These are the only ones out there worth taking. The SEC's model is "The University of ______" in the South. Clemson and Florida State add nothing. UVA and UNC are solid academically, do not threaten existing powers athletically (except maybe Kentucky basketball) and expand the footprint geographically. Most important, they are both B1G targets and adding them keeps that conference out of the South.
