I've said before, the SEC is only adding more teams if it means an immediate higher payout for the existing teams. They'll hold off on expanding until the money is on the table.
I don't see that happening with FSU or Clemson. The SEC didn't even get a bump from Texas and OU joining.
The Big 10 has a different money setup. They need content for the Bog 10 network and having more teams with a national coverage helps with that. The SEC is dependent upon ESPN (or when that deal is up, future TV partners) to offer more money due to the additional teams. You're talking about 2034.before they can put the SEC TV rights up for bid. Unless ESPN offers more cash per team, I can't see the SEC expanding until much closer to that date.
