I’ve been saying if we expand to 20 which I think we will. Take NC and Kansas for basketball. West Virginia for market. Possibly add one of FSU/Okie state/Georgia Tech/Clemson to balance out some of those out of conference rivalry teams. Don’t take all weigh which ever one brings the most value to the conference.

I wouldn’t mind if we went to 20 adding NC,FSU,GT, and Clemson. I’ve been expecting the ACC to pull a pac 12 type move for a while now. Just don’t see them surviving the way they are now.

I don’t want to stack to many east coast teams because I don’t want Auburn and bama in the “west” of the conference. Just from travel reasons. I have no interest in 4 away football games being Mizzou, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas

Please no. UNC and their pompous fan base are awful. I could hate UNC more than uga and that takes a lot.

We want schools we like the fanbase. I think having pompous fanbases make college sports what it is.

Look at us in basketball. We are ruthless and hilarious

This would be the death of the SEC.


they should create the Collegiate National Football League and be done with it.

I believe that to be coming down the line regardless of this move. I’ll go out and say I predict an eventual draft and recruiting goes away. What we all knew as college football is gone already but it will come imo.

The question you should always ask when you hear these rumors is "does adding this school to the SEC bring a new television market?" In this case it does, so we should not dismiss it.

Suggestions for FSU, GA Tech and Clemson I do not take as seriously because they bring nothing we don't already have.

The cost for a school to leave the ACC will decrease over the next few years, starting at $165 million in 2025 and dropping to $75 million by 2030-31. This new exit fee structure was established following a settlement involving Florida State and Clemson. Yahoo sports

Georgia Tech brings nothing. They don’t have many fans and the ones they do have are not sports watchers.

Univ of Virginia have a bigger market?

Plus Virginia is a very good academic school to add. And they could be good at sports. Used to be a decent football team. Aren't they usually pretty good in baseball every year?

No, not worth the effort anymore.

Both FSU and GT told us to FO in the past.

Auburn students used to grease the tracks to prevent GT’s train from getting out of town.

Both in and out.

My Granddad was a Freshman on Shug’s first Freshman team.

Georgia Tech was a big deal during that time. Wreck Tech parades, the whole nine yards.

They would grease the tracks in, then grease the tracks on the effort to get out.
