re: Why do some want the SEC to expand?

I dont think many of us WANT it to, its just been accepted as inevitable.

There are probably going to be only 4 FBS conferences by 2021, if not sooner

No there won't.

That's all it is. If Texas and/or OU refuse to sign an extension to their current GOR the XII is on a death watch.

The question then becomes: Is the SEC better off adding XII choice plums like Oklahoma, Texas and/or Kansas rather than watching them join another conference (the B1G in particular)?

Jim Delaney has made no bones about taking the Big Ten beyond 16 and adding the three remaining XII's with name cache would make it highly profitable to them. That said, would Texas ego and insecurity allow them to be just another school in a real super conference? I'm not sure.

So yes, it's not about wanting to expand. It's more wondering about the possible outcomes.
