No, we already have too many schools that aren't in the South.

And for the record, just adding good teams to a conference is dumb. All conference records equal out to .500. It doesn't matter how good your teams are, that's always going to be the result. Which is to say there is always going to be a limited amount of success. There can only be 1 conference champion every year etc. There is always going to be a Vanderbilt. Remove Vanderbilt, and a new basement team is going to take their place.


In theory you are right but in actuality the Vandys of the world stay down because they aren’t making any attempt to compete. In a league full of power teams, one of them will always have to finish last, but they won’t always stay down perennially.

Surest way to frick up the conference us have them anywhere near it. They’d insist on everything being done their way because they’re special.
Notre Dame, Texas and Alabama all in the same conference?! Would never work. Honestly I like that we are still "Southern" to an extent right now. Mizzou is an exception because southern Missouri is more like Arkansas than the rest of the state and they were part of the Confederacy kinda ..IMO let's stick with in state rivals to keep the southern swag. We don't want anything like what the Big Ten does by having California teams have to fly to New Jersey for a Wednesday night softball game by any means. Also IMO the Big Ten should be required to a name change. The SEC wouldn't have too if we just keep adding southern schools. Again just my opinion.

Have not read this thread because ND would never, never, ever join the SEC.

Why aren't you trying to get OSU and Michigan to join the SEC?

It is most likely that they are already in one of the two top conferences while, ND is part of a dying conference that might be up for grabs.

I wish they’d get back to 7 smaller leagues, but since the horse is out of the barn, ND is a possibility as a big brand needing a home.

Sec might consider.

If they were allowed to join what would their record be in football?
They would be some where between Vandy and USCe.
Within 6 years they would leave the SEC for the ACC or the some other conference.
Texas, LSU,Bama, OleMiss,UGA, they couldn’t play something like that every year.

Maybe, I don't see them winning the conference but they wouldn't fall off like that. Since the the first expansion the only sec team that's gotten worse is arky. Usce never won a bowl game pre sec, aTm/Missouri are achieving similar results to the big 12 but the national perception is better due to tougher scheduling. People often forget tough schedules forge tough teams. Honestly notre dame might remain a 9-10 win program but be a hell of a lot tougher.

Notre Dame would never go to the SEC. It's beneath them academically.
