I know Clemson and FSU would be the first two everyone talks about but the one state that is a must would have to be North Carolina and getting into that Charlotte market where the SEC Network already is set up.

North Carolina should be the first domino to fall.

If you have two schools in Texas I don't see any reason not to have two schools in Florida as well so Fla St would have to be at the top of the list.

You also know a school like Oklahoma St or Kansas would jump immediately on an offer.

Schools like Kansas and North Carolina would also immediately improve hoops in the conference.

Seems you're the only one talking about SEC expansion.... and the 2 new teams haven't even played their first SEC schedule yet.

I think KU would be a terrible fit in the SEC. Don't get me wrong; I'm Rock Chalk all the way, but their culture just doesn't mesh. BUT! I just thought of renewing the Battle Line Rivalry or whatever it's called. That would be sick.

Once again, if you want a fanbase that is immediately going to come in and call you all “slavers,” sure, go ahead and invite kansas.

Even suggesting this is a legal justification for a beating.

That would make the conference too heavy with southeastern schools.

After having to endure two years of whining and complaining from this board about two blue blood programs joining, you are ready to roll out the red carpet for Kansas, UNC and Okie Lite?

Assume we go to 20 schools. I would pick any 4 of the below, but 1 from be from NC and 1 must be from VA. I bolded my choices.

North Carolina
Duke

NC State
Wake
Virginia
Virginia Tech
Miami
Florida St
Clemson

This doesn't really matter anymore. Viewership is driving expansion now.

I don't think the SEC will expand in the next decade.

UNC was who everyone in SEC wanted to get if we did another expansion. They were ahead of OU and Texas.

I don't think the SEC expands for the rest of the decade, but when it comes, I think the best two are UNC and UVA. Two contiguous, rapidly growing states with premier schools, that fit culturally.

UVA and UNC are the only schools that make sense to me.

We already have schools in Florida and Carolina.

Offer the flagships in Virginia and North Carolina and be done, if we expand again at all.

The SEC should contract rather than expand.

Why would we want to expand? why do we want to get down to 2-3 mega conferences?

Please

For the love of God

Just wait until the off-season with this shite, okay?

Just wait until after the NC and then we can begin this crap.

Please

I'd love for Kansas to come in, but they fricking hate the SEC and would probably have no interest. So frick em.
