It's a twitter source but this particular twitter user is an assistant program director at ESPN.

Per a reliable source, Clemson+Florida State have reached out to the SEC about joining the conference.
The SEC is concerned that streaming numbers for Clemson+Florida State don't bring what Oklahoma+Texas do.
Notre Dame is the only "free agent" left that would "add to the pot."

I don't think the SEC would turn them down - I also don't think this would happen anytime soon.

If we go to 18 teams this scheduling nightmare gets even worse. FML.

Mickey has ACC Network locked up.
I don't think any expansion will come from members of that conference.

Seeing as how hes program director for ESPN I'm surprised he tweeted anything at all about it. It's going to be percieved as ESPN said it.

WVU and ND. 2 new states with one of them bringing a National audience.
Or NC State, Virginia Tech

Just can't see the SEC turning down Clempsum. Guess the FSU baggage was too much.
Similar situation with OU, no way the SEC was turning them down. Even with shite stain tagging along OU just too good not to add.

Here is the problem with future expansion..
Each SEC school will be making about $60 million per year in 2022 and about $75 million per year in 2025 & forward. In order to bring two teams in, they would have to be worth a combined $150 million per year just to keep everyone at the 2025 payout.
Is it worth it to add more teams without an increase in payout? I’m assuming the answer is no, but perhaps there are other factors in play there.
Realistically, I would think the SEC would only do it for an increased payout. 10% seems reasonable.. $7.5 million x 18 teams = $135 million extra
That would mean the two new teams needed to be worth $285 million or more combined.
There are likely only four teams that could bring that kind of value..
Notre Dame
USC
Ohio State
Michigan
One or more of those paired with Clemson and/or Florida State might get there.. but likely not just the two of them by themselves.
Just my opinion.

West Virginia and North Carolina. That's the two you take.

ND to the SEC would be the biggest shocker to me.

It makes 0 sense the the SEC would want either of these teams anyways. Neither is a national brand, we already own Florida, and who needs a few rural counties in upstate SC. The SEC has nothing to gain from adding either school.

Not happening with the acc gor expiring in 2035

Discussions just started, no one has turned anything down but do you remember the footprint plan

If any acc member leaves before 2036, they forfeit ALL of their TV money until that date. No ACC team is coming before then.

I’d rather add VA TECH & UNC or NC ST. We already have Florida and South Carolina. We need a team from Virginia & NC.

No he isn’t. This doesn’t even deserve to be linked.
