I don't, however, I know a lot of you do. Upvote for yes, you want expansion and downvote if you don't.

Quickly becoming a landslide toward no expansion wanted.

I'm glad that I'm not in the minority on this.

Not just no but hella no.

It needs to stop right here.

We're good.

No.

If NCAAF wants 3 mega conferences, sure. But packing in a ton of juggernauts will backfire

I want it and all the expanding conferences to contract. It won't happen for decades, if ever.

Once it's not regional anymore, it's lost its identity.

NO. In fact, expelling aggy and Zou would be the right thing to do.

Agreed.

Maryland is going to love traveling 2,500 miles for a 9pm PST game against Oregon.

We could just rescind the OU and Longhern invitations.

I don’t want another expansion but the talk I heard was North Carolina and Virginia or duke would be the teams of interest.

But I don’t have a vote.

They may be the only team I would accept, albeit an outsider team. However, they are bound by the same grant of rights contract that the rest of the ACC schools are in.

No but if they did they should let the SECRant vote on who to accept.

None of the conference changes matter to me. Only the NIL type stuff. I loathe change. I like things how they are, and i downvoted the OP for my vote... but, once all the dust settles, they'll do this again for 10-15 years and change shite again. As long as paying players doesn't fundamentally destroy the sport like I worry it will, then idc what they do ULTIMATELY.

once we get into a rhythm we will still play all the teams we have on a schedule, and that'll be that. and we'll all learn to like it just the same. it's the passion to the sport that matters the absolute most. it's the sole reason i love college football.

granted, some of these teams aren't even KINDA southern. it's weird to add yankees or mid-westerners.

My vote would be for App State and their 30k seat stadium, just to go against the grain.

If they're going to do it, I think basketball schools within the footprint should be considered.

This conference rules the roost in football. It's becoming so powerful that'll it could backfire. The SEC is the top conference in Baseball.

Why not add two basketball power houses to strengthen the SEC in that sport?

Duke and North Carolina would be awesome.
