If the money is equal they might. Plus, there are other reasons.

Florida and Tenn will possibly both become irrelevant in the new SEC - they will have a hard time competing against, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, A&M, Texas, OK., Auburn. Most seasons they will be fighting for maybe sixth place. PSU is going to find themselves in a Big Ten confence with a growing west coast focus. Does PSU really like that idea? The proposed 10 team conference could be financially competetive. If you could approach all three schools at same time and offer them this conference which makes since geographically, and competitively with comparable money, they could be in their right mind and still find reason to accept. It would not be easy, but a goods salesperson could make that case.

My ideal scenario, but it won't happen.

You're sniffing glue. UT and UF will NEVER leave the SEC.

Why not? If the conference could bring in equivalent money, then money

I doubt UF and UT would ever entertain leaving the SEC
Victor Tango • 05/16/23 11:43 AM ET
Would be better than the current situation, but still not good enough

Is there a 10-team rule for Championship games?
Truthahn • 05/16/23 11:42 AM ET
You aren't wrong
Vippie1 • 05/16/23 11:36 AM ET
I kind of agree. 50-50 on this.

Another possibility is we’ve reached “peak football.” Some high schools

We may be the exception out here in Katy, TX - apologies if I repeat

That’s correct. Katy’s an exception. **

i feel it has demographics going against it
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/16/23 10:03 AM ET

NE to South migration is the demographic the MAG7 is chasing, IMO.

B1G can’t satisfy coast-to-coast members long-term

Exactly, the BIG is unsustainable, so this is not the end of all this
