re: Should SEC extend offers immediately
Posted by bamaoldtimer on 8/7/26 at 7:07 pm to southernboisb
Per Ross Dellengher, p4 conferences would have 180 days to add teams or the five year rule would take effect.
Seems no brainer the SEC will be adding 3 teams as soon as bill is signed.
With Big 10 only having one slot, and SEC 3, the SEC is Big Cat daddy.
Let the bidding war begin!
Who will win a bidding war to join the SEC? Clemson, N Carolina, FSU, Texas Tech, SMU, Miami , ND? The buyin money should be split 17 ways.
I say let the bidding begin at $100,000,000

Edit: It is probably too late to make a quick expansion move before the Bill becomes law. ACC members are locked in for the year already - the deadline to leave passed. Maybe they could try announcing a departure for a future date before the bill comes law in an effort to circumvent it, but that sounds like some expensive litigation.
If this is true, then why is Sankey and the SEC supporting. It effectively caps the SEC at 16 forever. The SEC would never have interest in any G6 program.
If I’m a FSU , Clemson or any P4 program wanting in the B10 or SEC, I’d be planning on fighting this in court.
The whole premise of this act seems discriminatory and unconstitutional.
My limited understanding of our constitution gives us the freedom of association. The PCSA seems contrary to the spirit of this basic right we have.
Any lawyers out there care to comment?

My question was should we add now before bill passes if that’s feasible? As I understand bill, you must wait 5 years as an independent before being accepted into another conference. That’s completely absurd to me.

So glad Texas in the conference but it’s seems many of you Texas fans don’t want the SEC title game. I was at the first game with Florida in 1992. I’m one of those who values that game. I would not want to see it go. :cheers:

I’ve even thought about adding Miami just to keep the big 10 out of Florida but does recruiting matter as much as it did ten years ago? Probably not
Good point. I agree, recruiting does not matter as much. In the future, it’s going to be identifying portal talent and securing at level you can afford.
Should SEC extend offers immediately

Should SEC immediately extend offers to three schools to reach 19 under the PCSA . With new Media contract coming I believe by 2030 or 31, now seems like the time to lock up new members.
Should SEC help Fl St, and Clemson buy out its contract with ACC?
Would you want Texas Tech? Very passionate fans and SEC like school.
Should SMU be added? They are probably the richest school in Texas. With huge fan base and lots of eyeballs in Dallas.
I’d like Clemson but not Miami. Fl St is pure SEC like Clemson.
North Carolina, Virginia schools don’t add any passionate fan bases.
Thoughts?

Bama is my surprise pick for the season. Love being #11. Shows someone thinks we’re good.
I will enjoy football again. Yes, winning all those titles and going to five championship games, winning three was electric. But truth be known, being a Bama fan was getting boring. Now I can yell, scream, get nervous again instead of just yawning.
Now, we’re back to earth and starting over.
If a fan of a team we’re playing this year isn’t a bit concerned what Alabama team will show up, well, I get it. I don’t know either.
It will be fun :cheers:

I’m no PE expert. I do know someone who seems knowledgeable. I was told a PE firm buys let say at 6 times earnings. They buy and hope the firm will prosper and eventually sell for 10 times earnings.
Someone who knows please explain the benefits of a college team being bought by a PE firm.
The PE firm wants to pay as little as possible correct?
It seems to me it is desperation and suicide to associate with a PE firm.
Tell me where I’m wrong.

lol. Let the B10 crow. They have earned the right. Yes, overall and historically the SEC in viewship and Trophies in ALL sport is vastly superior.
My team Alabama carried the league for 15 years in recent history. Georgia, Texas, Florida and Tennessee have carried the league in off years. Texas of course was Not SEC in 2005 but I’ll claim them anyway
It’s time for the SEC to rise up and prove itself again and shut these little pukes up.
Meantime, there gonna crow until we beat them. Texas is up in September against OSU. I know the whole conference will be rooting for Texas.
If Texas wins, they are by bound by SEC rules to chant SEC SEC SEC! :usa:

I feel real confident that Missouri, Vandy, USC, Kentucky, Arkansas, Ms st, will be dog house teams.
Top SEC teams that could beat each other any given Saturday depending on how the ball bounces are Texas, Georgia, OU, Bama, LSU, Tenn, Auburn, Florida, A&M and Ole Miss
We have a very tough conference. Let those Big 10 cucks crow how much better the Big 10. LOL

I think both will make the CFP. Bama has the next best chance
The SEC Media picked Bama I think 6 or 7th in the conference. You have them 3rd. Why? What do you as a Dog fan see in this Bama team others do not?
For the first time in over twenty years, I have little expectations for this team. I see 7or 8 wins. That does not put them in the CFP.
Only way for Bama to make Playoff is if one of there QB’s becomes the next iteration of Collegiate Tua and one or two of our 5 star running backs bring back the 200 yards per game Bama machine. In addition, we’d need our finger polishing 5 star wide receiver to act like a 5 star. I do believe our Defense will be stout and might by season end be great.
A lot of ifs here but we’ll soon see.

Maybe, but your recruiting Arch, getting all these 5 star Texas and southeast high schoolers isn’t perhaps because you’re in the SEC? Don’t think even with your money these players would have come to Texas if still in Big 12.

Honest question, if DeBoer has another 4 loss season like the two prior, is he still coaching at Alabama in 2027?
What is the expectation from an Alabama fan’s perspective?
Ok, I’ll bite. As a fan, I acknowledge the new paradigm in College football. Expecting a Coach to every year bringing in 30-50 new portal and recruits to win a Natty every year is unrealistic. Saban won 6 over 17 seasons. So basically every third season. That’s otherworldly. I don’t expect DeBoer to do that nor expect him too. I want tough, hard nose Football and no blowouts like Indiana. Saban won in a totally different era. That’s why he retired. He knew he could not cut it anymore with his style of coaching in this new era.
Bama will surprise many this Season. Can’t wait for the season to start.
And no, DeBoer won’t be fired.

Offense, Ryan Grubb's their OC, the dude's out of the NFL because he made the Seahawks one of the worst rushing teams in the league. He goes to Bama and makes them the 2nd or 3rd worst rushing team in the SEC if not the entire country. That's just his offense, I doubt it improves substantially, QB play should still be effective though
Fair point and I agree. If DeBoer doesn’t address the run issue and correct it by making the necessary changes DeBoer will be cutting his own throat with the fans. He addressed the run issue at Media Days. We’ll see.

Kirby’s first two seasons saw 7 total losses.
DeBoer’s first two seasons save 8 total losses
Yes, the DeBoer honeymoon is over. From a fan perspective I accept the rebuild and the 8 losses. What I don’t accept is the Indiana loss like it happened. If I was a mighty Georgia Bulldog fan, I’d really be worried about playing a young Bama team very hungry, disrespected, and who is actually as talented as any team out there.
I think Bamas future is very bright with Coach Deboer. He will field a team this year that no one really should want to play.
