In fairness, my message was clearly about "quality of size"...

That's why I listed the teams. We can get picky with semantics and lose the overall point, which is the SEC and Big10, with their recent expansions, are undeniably far deeper and of higher quality in football than the ACC or B12. Similarly, the ACC of B12 is far superior to the Sun Belt or AAC. I don't like the concept of auto-bids though, just to be clear.

Ok then they gotta leave for everything.
mancunian • 02/27/24 01:52 PM ET
I think they want that, especially the 🏀 money for a tournament.

A basketball tournament of just the SEC and Big 10
mancunian • 02/27/24 01:59 PM ET
The SEC and Big 10 will invite other conferences to "their tourney".
HouClone • 02/27/24 06:32 PM ET
Yeah you’re probably right. Ooof, what a dumb time to be alive.**

It seems very silly to have 4 auto bids each...
jesuisvtguy • 02/27/24 01:28 PM ET
If you don’t want an agreement, throw out something they wouldn’t agree to.
Stech • 02/27/24 01:40 PM ET
Funny you mention size. SEC and B12 will both be 16, ACC 17, BIG 18

If they do, then so be it. We would end up with three levels
HokieAl • 02/27/24 12:32 PM ET
I’m okay with more tiers/divisions. More teams can win an NC. Right now it
Stech • 02/27/24 01:28 PM ET
I feel like they are making these changes that will, ultimately, lead to
