" We can stay at 16 "

Per Sankey: We have a new relationship from a media standpoint that’s working well and we can stay at 16. I dont think the SEC is any hurry to add more and why would they ? They are the champs in football and likely will not get knocked off for the foresaable future. BB they are pretty good. Baseball one of the best. The only reason would be to protect Big 10 from coming in South East area. But then it will only be the best teams not all of them.

Every one wanted to duplicate the Big 10 network, but
Big12 guy • 10/04/24 10:20 AM ET
Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. They have fans and alumni everywhere.
reestuart • 10/04/24 11:12 AM ET
I think the SEC has bigger visions than the south east
HokieAl • 10/03/24 04:05 PM ET
The essential acquisitions for The SEC are UNC and Virginia.
33laszlo99 • 10/03/24 06:10 PM ET
The SEC does not have to play defense with the Big 10. **
Big12 guy • 10/03/24 03:41 PM ET
Interesting that he was bragging about non-football championships.
manassashoo • 10/03/24 01:55 PM ET
So from that post, do you want the Hoos in the SEC?**
Stech • 10/03/24 05:34 PM ET
My favorite sport is baseball, for that reason yes.**
manassashoo • 10/03/24 08:45 PM ET
Okay, I get that.**
Stech • 10/03/24 09:49 PM ET
I think his point was that the SEC is not just the dominant football

He's just being a politician. They already know their targets

Sure Sankey. Sankey will take Hawaii if they add an extra $1.**

I think the MAC should take Hawaii. They certainly could use that as

Fit Culture? Former Southern Conference mates for that bill.
Sunsetunderground • 10/03/24 12:18 PM ET
Southern Conference name fits better if that happens w/ Tex schools, maybe
Stech • 10/03/24 12:38 PM ET
That's odd, the talking heads have been saying fit doesn't matter at all**
HokieNoVA • 10/03/24 11:06 AM ET
I never bought that culture doesn't matter, no matter who said it.
Stech • 10/03/24 12:23 PM ET
I think long term......
2hhoop3 • 10/03/24 01:18 PM ET
It all depends on what you think of when you say culture.
