If what you say about Slive and Skipper is true, then I will have to concede that the sec getting Virginia and UNC is not going to happen.

It is more that just Skipper and Slive. Go back to the history of 3 conferences.

Western, became the B1G - and Nebraska tried for 100 years or so before they finally got in

Pacific Coast, became the PAC after massive cheating in the 1950's shut down the original PCC.

SIAA, mother to the SEC, ACC, and SWC schools. TAMU was in the old SIAA so 100 years later they rejoined the offshoot SEC. The bulk of the SIAA was split by the Appalachian Mountains (and difficult travel back then) so the SEC became the west and the ACC became the east.

Most all movement by schools over the past century is probably greatly impacted by early membership or proximity to one of these 3 conferences.
