Maybe the SEC Should Grab Liberty to Fill that Virginia Footprint Slot

Liberty would surely be a competitive nemesis to the Hogs. The Razorbacks got Hugh Freeze the old Liberty head coach back in the SEC. Of course Freeze had the credentials of being an old Arkansas State coach, an Auburn must these days, their last three head football coaches previously coached at Arkansas State. Freeze getting fired at Ole Miss due to getting them hand slapped by the NCAA also didn't bother Auburn a bit. Cheating is now legal and Freeze could have always cheated at Auburn anyway. Of course I was upset about the Liberty home loss in Fayetteville. I got on YouTube Razorback boards declaring how Pittman was Bielema reincarnated now with home losses to G5 schools now getting back to normal. Saying he team obviously quitting on Pittman just like with Bielema. I was not alone in Razorback fandome expressing that exact sentiment. However those comments got removed by the moderators. You cannot publicly bash a Razorback coach anymore until it is a large majority thing. Arkansas & Texas A&M had far more football players enter that transfer portal than any other SEC Schools. Pittman got a lot from the portal and hired a lot of new black assistant coaches. Are the problems cured? I doubt it but we shall see. Those coaches drawing $7 MM yearly and are now above being bashed. Just like the politicians.

Baylor, TCU, Kansas would be a good start.

OSU has fans as passionate as VT. maybe not the market.
Big12 guy 08/09/23 05:56 PM ET
OSU is near Tulsa and OK City. Effectively as big a market as Oklahoma.

Wait until the end of the next B12 contract and add 8 to get to 24.**

I doubt you could find one in the Big 12 willing to join the ACC at that
wwhokie1 08/09/23 02:57 PM ET
There would still be 6 years on our contract. **

Schools would not wait until the contract was up to announce they are going

If they get part of the Big 12 the ACC isn't breaking up.**

Any schools that had offers from the SEC or Big ten would leave.**

This is the correct answer. The B12 is no longer for sale, but every one
