[quote]So, do you see more additions to the conference?[/quote]
Good question. The PAC and ACC have no viable expansion options. The Big Ten would love to get Notre Dame, UVA, UNC and/or Duke, but it seems highly unlikely that any of those schools would leave the ACC. (The money would be tempting...

[quote]UTexas does not add anything athletically or academically to the SEC.[/quote]
C'mon, I hate the Longhorns as much as anyone, but they are an academic and athletic powerhouse.
Considered a "public Ivy", their academic programs are highly ranked across the board. Their athletic programs are...

[quote]The SEC already has our own historic rivalries.[/quote]
The SEC would have had major problems if it remained at 12 as other leagues expanded. There's no do-overs in conference realignment. If the SEC had said "no thanks" to A&M and those schools had joined the PAC-16 instead, things would be...

[quote]SEC fans didn't want to expand past 12, FWIW[/quote]
And a lot of Oklahoma and Missouri fans didn't want to expand the Big 8, but times changed... If the SEC hadn't expanded West with A&M/MU/OU/UT then another conference would have, and that wouldn't bode well for the league's interests down...

[quote]We get a good amount of bias in football. Though not apples to apples because football doesn't have a 64 team tournament, we definitely get preferential treatment. Maybe its because of perceived fan support in the SEC vs. B1G?[/quote]
True, but that "bias" is justified. This particular bias ...
