Your post made me think of other non revenue college sports not common among all schools. Equestrian, men’s soccer, etc.
Kentucky and South Carolina are the only schools in the SEC who continue to have scholarship men’s soccer teams (others have “club” teams). They play in another conference. I assume that will happen with wrestling when Oklahoma joins.
Probably football, baseball and/or basketball combined or separately could break off to form their own conference or something.
I wonder if that would effect Title IX in any way

Conference expansion needs to DIAF.

That's going to be a nightmare for their conference when it comes to travel arrangements. They are already about to spread from North East/Midwest to California. I don't know how it could manage the sports that aren't generating profit eating serious chunks of cash just in travel.
I haven't looked into it too much, but for non-revenue sports, OSU already had some not B1G affiliations where the varsity team wasn't in the B1G. Theoretically they could do the same for the non large sports for the Cali schools where they stay in the Pac or WAC for certain sports still

n the hypothetical the SEC expanded to 20 schools you have two 10 team conferences.
A form of this is what is going to happen eventually. The mega-conferences will happen, they will merge into some sort of league or alliance, at which time the ~60 teams will re-split into eight to twelve team conferences/divisions which will likely resemble what we had 30 years ago, only under a central league/governing body with a playoff and central scheduling.

I can understand why you would want this.
Im sure losing that last conference game of the year ever season would be frustrating.

30 years ago this was very accurate. Today….not so much.
Are you talking about the perception of Florida football as a whole no longer being elite? Some truth to that. But those who regard it highly certainly don’t do so because of the Gates

Good schools. But why? They really create more problems. And stripped of their historical rivals they have lesser value.
Literally, 4 current SEC school’s historical in state rivals are in the ACC. UNC could play Duke out of conference. Virginia could play Virginia Tech out of conference.

SEC just needs to lock down the south, which starts at Virginia.

I don’t know that it will be a big deal. 4 divisions of 7 teams each. PAC, B1G, B1G, ACC So a 8 game schedule would be 6 in division, one game to travel to.. and one will travel to you. A 10 game schedule will be 2 travel dates.. not that big of a deal.
Football would be an issue for travel, just not a major one. But what about all the other non-profitable sports. Soccer, tennis, softball, women’s basketball ect
Only football and basketball make money at most of those schools. Some make money on baseball but every other sport already loses money. Make it more expensive for the non profit sports Will hit AD budgets.

Wish we could land UVA and UNC
I suspect the public school Deep South ACC teams may all be in the SEC by the end of the decade.

Utah seems a little surprising. Not quite the academic fit I would think they are looking for. BTW, I sure hope they take Miami before our a-hole commissioner pursues them.

UF and FSU have the same amount of NC’s, with FSU not ducking from those great Miami teams like the cowardly Gators.
FSU "ducked" the entire SEC when they were invited to join and Bobby Bowden admitted it.

“I felt, Paul, that it was too difficult to win through the SEC to win a national championship,” Bowden stated. “I felt like our best route would be to go through the ACC and that did prove out to be correct. But, I don’t know if we could have made it through the SEC.”

And it was smart for them. Now it might be smart for them to join. Everything can change.

Sure,in retrospect but not really my point.
Just pointing pointing out the rank hypocrisy of any FSU fan accusing any SEC team of ducking anyone when they got a free ride for years after they joined the ACC.

OU was invited to the SEC to join with A&M before Mizzou. Slive went to Norman to personally do it. They said no. Ten years later they begged like dogs to join. Oh well.
