I'd rather not have them or A&M. I don't like the fact that by bailing on their conference they'll reap the rewards that the 12 member institutions have worked for so long to achieve in this one.

Mizzou is exploring options..... which means they're leaving the Big 12 for sure.

Not sure the SEC is a slam dunk though. Look for the Big 10 to enter the picture --- at least to talk to them. The Big 10 would have to feel uncomfortable with the SEC gaining TV market share ( St Louis & KC ) so close to their territory.

I'm a traditionalist, I hate all this expansion..... but as a Kansas Citian I would love to have Mizzou in the SEC which would mean SEC coverage here in KC.

There is a lot of consternation here in KC over Mizzou leaving the Big 12 ---- probably means the loss of the Big 12 basketball tournament at the Sprint Center and the Big 12 football championship at Arrowhead ...a financial blow to the city.

They move it around.... it's been played in San Antonio, St Louis, Dallas and Kansas City.

The basketball tournament has been played in Ok City and dallas, but it's played in KC on a more regular basis

Just go the the B10, I want nothing of losing the Bama game just because Mike Slive is an imbecile and sends Auburn over to our division because of this.

i can understand people being opposed to expansion for a variety of reasons. there are several aspects about expansion that i do not like either.

however, the business aspect is undeniable.

i do not understand how there are people out there that speak as if the sec is a charitable institution that is making a sacrifice by expanding and is simply doing the schools they are adding a big favor.

12 university presidents would not choose to expand if it meant losing money.

that's one of the reasons the whole "super conference" thing isn't going to happen. there are only a couple of schools out there in unstable conferences or who are independent that would increase the pot for the league they join.

At this point 14 should be considered a Super Conference...especially the conference that the SEC is putting together.

I understand both sides of it. Hell, why not add two more teams that annually make bowl games and can contribute to the pot? It makes fiscal sense, but, where does it stop? Like you said I don't believe the "super conference" idea will work but there is precedent that is being created that who knows where it will end.

I guess it's like trying to accept a new step-brother or step-sister. Sure, they'll be your "family" but not really.

I truely think the SEC teams's pie would grow if they expanded past 14 and got Virginia Tech and NC St.

East
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
NC St.
South Carolina
Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Virginia Tech
West
Alabama
Arkansas
Auburn
LSU
Miss
Miss St
Mizzou
Texas A&M

That would be a perfect conference IMO, JMO

It gives you a large state school in every single state in the South(excluding WV).
