My ideal scenario, but it won't happen.

KeithHokie89 • 05/16/23 12:35 PM ET

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

I dunno - it has some big names

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.
rdy7p • 05/16/23 11:25 AM ET

We may be the exception out here in Katy, TX - apologies if I repeat
ValveHokie • 05/16/23 11:23 AM ET
That’s correct. Katy’s an exception. **

I live in a pretty well-off small town in NE Ohio...

Same thing I see here in Orange County NC**

Youth football numbers are down...that will have an effect**
Tuckahokie • 05/16/23 10:05 AM ET

MrBayAreaHokie • 05/16/23 10:03 AM ET
Add into that demographic…..
CrystalCoveHokie • 05/16/23 10:15 AM ET
NE to South migration is the demographic the MAG7 is chasing, IMO.

B1G can’t satisfy coast-to-coast members long-term
Colonel Jessup • 05/16/23 09:47 AM ET
Exactly, the BIG is unsustainable, so this is not the end of all this

I'd be curious to know if Bezos has interest

Justin Berkley • 05/16/23 10:07 AM ET
You're right
Millpoint • 05/16/23 09:42 AM ET
Nobody in their right mind is going to voluntarily leave the SEC/B10**
HokieNoVA • 05/16/23 09:28 AM ET
If the money is equal they might. Plus, there are other reasons.
wwhokie1 • 05/16/23 09:49 AM ET
there is really no such thing as guaranteed money
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/16/23 10:06 AM ET
Young ended up getting $4.8M of his $40M contract from the usfl**
