unless there's an SEC-BIG merger.....

i think the SEC (who goes big or doesn't go at all) takes FSU, Clemson, UNC, NC St, UVa and VT in one giant expansion bite. Here's why: 1) it keeps the BIG out of the south. All that would remain are private or smaller schools Duke, Miami and GT 2) It takes state politics out of the equation. The VA legislature wouldn't need to get involved as both large state schools are taken care of. Same goes for NC, FL and SC. 3) it adds untapped markets in 2 of the fastest growing states in America, VA and NC, to the SEC footprint while also solidifying FL and SC. ** Edited by VTejrep at 7/4/2026, 8:45:01 AM

The NFL agreed to revenue sharing for television
Big12 guy • 07/07/26 12:48 PM ET
The NFL is also one conglomerate with profit sharing. The AFC-

Not exactly accurate......

You need to substitute Wake for GT in the “private” category. **

Since the statement includes "...or smaller schools," doesn't GT

Campus wise it’s not really a big school.

Yeah, probably so. **

GT is public.**
