ECU is never going to be in the SEC and anyone that suggests them has no understanding of how re-alignment works. Oklahoma is a distant longshot at best because there is no way in hell the SEC is going to take OSU to go with them.
The prizes are North Carolina and Virginia. The consolation prizes are VTech, NC State, and Duke. Here is the thing though, the SEC doesn't have to expand. When you are on top the only reason you expand is to grow even stronger and make even more money. If a school can't bring in $50 mill a year plus in value to the conference then adding them is a net negative and s dumb business decision. If a school doesn't have AAU status or is not very strong academically it also waters down the conference and since the Presidents are doing the voting it absolutely is a major factor.

While I agree with everything you said, I don't believe that there is anyway to split up Duke and North Carolina. I think the most realistic option is NC State and Virginia or VT.
