Well, that’s dumb. The B1G has an escalator clause if they add more teams. The pie gets bigger. The SEC does not.
Why don’t we make the entire country a 131-slice pie?
Would you like to add central Florida too? Dumbass.
Were you impressed with adding Rutgers? We cannot make the same kneejerk reaction by adding Texas AM and Mizz again. Going forward it has to be programs like Tex/Ou.
If there are none left like them, don’t add anymore.

Give me FSU and Miami. I'm a sucker for geography.

I really think that Miami belongs in a league with its 80’s rivals.
Miami
ND
Penn State
Pitt
Therefore putting them in the big10 if they added ND.

Dabo will fight against it to the death ! No way he leaves his easy-peasy ACC cake-walk to enter the SEC.

Why in the hell do you and a few more of your dawg litter constantly feel the need to berate others when it is you that..... awww hell never mind.
Quote from recent article with relation to Virginia going to Big 10 and Tech to Big 12. The legislature would get involved and have in the past.
"Virginia’s General Assembly fought too hard to pair the Hokies with rival Virginia in the ACC in 2003 to allow them to be separated in 2 different conferences again."

Yeah but something has changed.
All of a sudden OU, Ore, Wash, are about to leave their weaker partners.

IF they expand it will not be anytime soon

Louisville joins the other 7 ACC teams leaving.
SEC gets Clemson UNC FSU and Miami
BIG10 gets Louisville UVA VA tech and NC State
Or Swap Miami and VA Tech. This gives the SEC one VA school and gives the Big10 one FL school. The SEC doesn’t necessarily Need Miami. VA Tech would fit in culturally better with the SEC. They’re like A&M minus the cult stuff.

I hate all of this

Why? Nothings happened yet. I mean a lot depends on what they end up doing, if they do anything. But if they are creating a new division then this will be great for fans of College football losing a regional rival every other year is worth it if that means replacing fcs and weak g5 home games with top end p 5 teams. No more directional schools just large universities with similar resources. If thats whats going down bring it sooner. Does anyone honestly believe bama lsu uga ohio st ckem fsu Texas usc Oklahoma aggie are really playing the same sport wake Duke Rutgers northwestern ucf app state coastal carolina are in terms of football?

Personally, I'd like to see NC State, Clemson, FSU, and Georgia Tech in the SEC.
UNC won't go anywhere without Duke, I think, and they'd be better off in the Big 10 anyway as they're BB schools. Miami would go to the Big 10, too.

Someone make it stop.
Research the fall of empires. SEC was perfect, expanding will make it eventually implode.

Football is bad enough, basketball becomes a nightmare, and every other sport is a disaster. Look at baseball; earlier this season we saw the Kentucky team bus in Baton Rouge for the LSU series. The team flew, but you have to transport all that gear, and then move the team around to/from the hotel to the stadium. So the bus left before the team, and arrived back afterwards. Apply that to USC-Rutgers or USC-Miami. Or hell, Miami-Washington. Now, how do you schedule that? Do you get midweek games at home- do you double-up on all the extra just so you have equipment available after a road series? It's a mess to consider.

I hope we don't expand again. We're on the brink of being too big as it is right now.
However, I think it probably is inevitable, probably up to 4 teams eventually. I hope we can get UNC and UVA if it comes to it, and then maybe FSU and Clemson.
I'd also be ok with NC State and Virginia Tech. Those adds are a lot like the expansion adds before Texas and Oklahoma--they could add to the overall strength of the conference without wrecking competitive balance.

The talk is Oregon & Washington are almost guaranteed to the B10. That'll put them at 18.
I, personally, see the SEC also matching the #'s B1G has.
Therefore, the SEC will also be adding 2 teams (minimum).
I do not see any logic to this. Just because one conference expands, does not mean other conferences have to as well.
Conference expansion mainly has to do with money. In the SEC's case bringing on more teams does not make any sense unless they increase the checks written to each of the existing members. We already have some members that benefit off of the popularity of others. That is also one of the things that makes the SEC great is the equal revenue sharing. Expansion is about making your tv market more valuable.
Why would the SEC want to add teams that do not bring anything to the table?

For the life of me I cannot understand a Gator fan wanting FSU in the SEC. Did you break your head?
