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.

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.

I hate the "anonymous sources" bullshite as much as the next guy, but there is some smoke here. Just four days ago, FSU's President very publicly stated the following:
“I just want us to be prepared…” Thrasher said, via the Democrat. “My point to [FSU director of athletics] David Coburn and to [new ACC commissioner] Jim Phillips is I don’t want Florida State to be left behind. I consider us part of the ACC, but I also know that we have a marquee name, Clemson has a marquee name. I think there might be people coming after us, I don’t know, but we’ve got to be prepared no matter what the options are.”

That doesn't sound like a school that is content being in the ACC through 2035 while the SEC consolidates power.
