I'm not even thinking in terms of a P1. The SEC likes their compact

Southeastern footprint. They are reluctant to expand into far western geography, partly because non-rev travel can be problematic. If FB is separate then SEC could add the Arizona's, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, etc. which is manageable for FB only. Those non-revs could be in a conference with TX, TAMU, Okla, Missouri, etc. The FB conference could grow with ACC FB schools, whose non-rev programs would become part of one or two new SEC conferences with comfortable geography. A drastic departure from the status quo, but it might allow The SEC to grow to ~28 - 32 FB members. I think it would deliver big cash. ** Edited by 33laszlo99 at 9/18/2025, 3:30:46 PM
