Add OU and TX to the west, move Mizzou to West, and move Bama and Auburn to the East... watch the Big 12 become the AAC overnight.

End permanent cross division rivals, move to 9 conf games.

Clemson and FSU make sense more than any. They both have rivals in the SEC and the next round of expansion is not going to be about TV market. There's too many people that are getting TV in nontraditional ways online.

The only options are VA or VA Tech and NC State.

Ok, I am just asking...what is your major beef with us? Later you stated $$$ drives the bus. Agreed. So if that is the case, and since TV has a lot to do with money, and since Kansas City and St. Louis are Missouri cities (yes, both cities are in other states too, but the bulk of the city and population is in Missouri), would it make more sense to eliminate the states with the least population...which in the SEC case is...

And since we need an even number of schools, well one state jumps the other which means...

Pack for the WAC Arkansas...

16 teams is literally two conferences. The next move need to be contraction back to 12 teams. #12strong

It should be OU and WVU. None of the ACC teams are leaving. The big 12 is dead when the GOR is up in a couple years. OU, Texas and WVU will have to land somewhere. Iowa state, and Kansas would go to the Big 10, Texas probably independent, and the rest of the big 12 would then be a G5 conference. At that point the SEC would shuffle Bama and auburn and you finally have a balanced conference with pods.

I like Missouri. Just not sure I like them in the East.

Not sure how you guys would like the Western Division, but I'd love to see an Auburn/Missouri division swap.

Bama and Tennessee can schedule that game out of conference most years. No other school would have puppies about the switch (except Tennessee, and meh).

Longhorn Network can get to the back of the line. They are a cancer to whatever conference they are in.

once we kick out Missouri and OM we will have room for 4. I expect to add Duke, UCF, North Carolina, and South Alabama.

How can so many not understand how conferences are valued? Adding our little brother horn would reduce the annual payments to each conference member. The SEC already monetizes the texas tv market with much higher ratings with Aggie
