Hard to argue with an SEC that swells, grows, inflates, and expands

I'm sure it's a well crafted article with solid research and valid points. But I'm not reading a Tennessee view of NC/VA schools in the ACC. Thanks for sharing anyway.

Would Duke be a target for SEC expansion? How about VT or NCST?
WBGV • 06/20/24 08:46 AM ET
Defensive Move
WarHog38 • 06/20/24 04:05 PM ET
Question for you as an SEC fan - do you think the SEC would ever move to
VPI_1998 • 06/21/24 06:22 AM ET
Vanderbilt is a Founding SEC Member Going Back to 1936
WarHog38 • 06/21/24 03:25 PM ET
Why would the SEC jettison the only private school in the conference?
mrcaniac • 06/21/24 10:07 AM ET
I think that "only one in a state" is bogus
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 05:34 PM ET
I agree 1 state theory is living in the Cable Hookup model, it’s the past,
Stech • 06/20/24 08:50 PM ET
The SEC does not have to play defense. the Big 10 is not a threat.**
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 05:11 PM ET
Agree - at least in their current from the B1G isn't a threat.
VPI_1998 • 06/21/24 06:47 AM ET
I think the B1G is a long-tern threat to the SEC. So, which happens first?
Maroon Baboon • 06/20/24 07:29 PM ET
What is long term?........
2hhoop3 • 06/20/24 08:05 PM ET
A decade or more. But keep in mind, it could be the other way around, too.**
Maroon Baboon • 06/20/24 08:18 PM ET
OK, so explain it to me. What are the Big 10 and SEC in competition for? To
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 07:57 PM ET
I hope the SEC and BIG are asking, what can our partnership produce
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 09:59 PM ET
College Park
WarHog38 • 06/20/24 05:48 PM ET
The top Big 10 schools currently have zero problems recruiting in Florida.
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 05:59 PM ET
Ohio State & Michigan May Presently Have Some Success Recruiting in Florida
WarHog38 • 06/20/24 06:18 PM ET
Eh, The SEC will get theirs
dayooper • 06/20/24 11:54 PM ET
Looks Like You Backed My Opinion
WarHog38 • 06/21/24 02:58 AM ET
Actually, it doesn’t.
dayooper • 06/21/24 08:51 AM ET
The Big 10 getting a school in Florida will not negate the SEC's
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 06:32 PM ET
If the SEC Takes FSU & Clemson
WarHog38 • 06/20/24 07:03 PM ET
I do have a lot of respect for G5 schools, but that has absolutely nothing
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 07:33 PM ET
Not that big a threat? A threat to do what?**
33laszlo99 • 06/20/24 05:23 PM ET
No conference is a threat to the SEC. They just have to do what
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 05:51 PM ET
They stay in the ACC IMHO, but it will be an Academic Conference Champions
Stech • 06/20/24 03:04 PM ET
It seems they'd be more likely to end up in the Big East than SEC.**
reestuart • 06/20/24 01:44 PM ET
This feels a lot like the Chewbacca defense to me
CobbCountyHokie • 06/20/24 01:38 PM ET
Flugaur was going on yesterday about how the next round of expansion is

If that is his latest take, he has really JTS'd

WBGV • 06/20/24 08:12 PM ET
Flugaur has never "broken" anything that wasn't already heavily rumored.

Noted. I think he has some actual sources in the Big Ten. But the rest of

Interesting...VT/uva and others would have more levers should enrollment
VT757to276 • 06/20/24 01:26 PM ET
According to a lot of (especially Big 12) supposedly pundits, VT and NCSU
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 12:01 PM ET
VT would be the top football program in the BigXII.
Maroon Baboon • 06/20/24 12:41 PM ET
Been VT since I was a early teen and will continue to be but
VTCALS72 • 06/20/24 05:18 PM ET
They would be in the top 1/3. **
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 04:03 PM ET
Top 1/3? More like the top 1/5 or 1/6.
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/20/24 04:29 PM ET
Now, there is a reason I do not post on the football board here. I think

Yeah, there were prior instances of incompetence for sure.

Hard to argue with an SEC that swells, grows, inflates, and expands ◄
HokieAl • 06/20/24 11:24 AM ET
Duke would go to the Big East before it went to the SEC.**
Baltimore_Hokie • 06/20/24 10:25 AM ET
Yep. And Duke fans would be thrilled by this IMO. They want no part of
HboroughHokie • 06/20/24 01:43 PM ET
Besides the obvious problems, Duke is simply not a southern school
I85Hokie • 06/20/24 09:19 AM ET
I know it’s hard for them to fathom it, but some schools would prefer B1G.
Stech • 06/20/24 09:18 AM ET
Dook?
EDGEMAN • 06/20/24 08:57 AM ET
Not a chance on Duke being in the SEC. They will be on the
Big12 guy • 06/20/24 09:16 AM ET
And there's no way UNC would demand Dook (a rival) be included in a move...
EDGEMAN • 06/20/24 09:56 AM ET
I really disagree with this point. The reason I say this is because it
TDVick • 06/20/24 10:38 AM ET
I don't see UNC insisting they are a package deal...lol
EDGEMAN • 06/20/24 11:14 AM ET
yep - and they would continue to schedule basketball. **
