SEC to expand again?

[Special Ed]

Florida president: One condition could move SEC to expand - CBSSports.com

 

[TrueOrange]

Hooray, expansion thread (again)!

 

[TrueOrange]

All it really says is the UF president saying they'd have to expand if someone who was a big enough gain (/someone they couldn't reasonably say no to) called them and said "save us"

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Non-story.

 

[Special Ed]

Implies that the SEC may be on the verge of becoming a 16-team 'superconference'. That's noteworthy.

Agree

You are correct. The SEC will not stand pat at 14. 16 is a better number for scheduling. Missouri was also placed in the east temporarily.

As much as it implies any conference expanding if the "right diamond team" called them...that's almost just procedural

I expect four super conferences in the next ten years or so. And, finally, just two. East and West. Slow movement towards basketball farm teams for the pros.

I really hope UT gets on solid footing before the conference expands again.

If the whole pod thing ends up working out it could be beneficial.

I say we take Georgia Tech.

Time to come back home silly Bumble bees.

How about Tulane while we're at it? :birgits_giggle:

Hey, and Sewanee too.

Their money can come out of Tennessee's cut. If you want em, you pay for em.

 

[Shaun1985]

So do you think this will up our NCAA Tournament bids to 14 next year with 2 extra teams? Just wondering.

Then we can snag Western Kentucky to balance things out.

They'll be back right after Tulane and Sewanee.

 

[notabed22]

The SEC won't strike first. The Big 12 will go after Florida State/Clemson or the Big Ten will try to snag UVA/Georgia Tech first, at which point the other will follow suit and the SEC will add NC State and Virginia Tech.

 

[eVOLution]

I would hate to see the conference going to 16 teams, Damn, it was hard enough trying to win the conference when there were only 10 or 12 teams. If they do expand, logical choice would be going into NC and Virginia

Don't make fun of my school. We had that badass road trip of 7 games in ten days all against traditional powers. in the 1890's

Why.....they can pay for themselves?


You saying they don't have enough fans?

I'm saying that ESPN and CBS would say that they add no new TV sets and would not pay an extra nickel on the TV contract if GTU joined. Which means everyone makes less money.

Or it can come out of UT's cut.

 

[Coach Grizz]

I'd like to see FSU & Clemson come in

Why UTs cut why not Bama's cut
