The BIG has played it perfectly

They are clearly in the best position going forward. They are the only logical choice for ND if that move ever happens. They already grabbed the West Coast south and have Oregon and Washington basically begging to also join in the north. They have far more major cities in their footprint compared to the SEC. And they can easily incorporate any of the remaining schools from PAC or ACC if they want. The BIG has a plethora of options available and can do whatever they want at this point.

SEC should have taken Florida State instead of Mizzou in 2010

I doubt FSU would have moved then. They have always known the ACC

I'm not sure that's a bad thing for the SEC

Have they expanded their footprint too large?

That extra travel money won't amount to a hill of beans. They've also

That would be funny, but I don't think Aggie donors would support that move

I don’t think they want them, they already get Florida & South Carolina 👀**

They already have them there in the ACC, I don’t think Michigan State FSU

I hear ya. But having those two Southern powerhouses is a game changer for
Maroon Baboon • 08/01/23 10:33 PM ET
I think the SEC wants North Carolina and Virginia more than those two. New

Basketball, sure. Big win for football? Are we talking about the same uva?**

Two rivalry games in football, VT & NCSU good 🏈 history, UNC & UVA 🏀
Stech • 08/02/23 12:10 AM ET
I agree. But I think they also need to protect the Deep South.
Maroon Baboon • 08/01/23 10:49 PM ET
I think they already own the Deep South with FSU & Clemson in the ACC.

Do you think the SEC would take Miami if FSU goes B1G?**
Maroon Baboon • 08/01/23 11:05 PM ET
I have always expected Miami to go to the B1G, not the SEC, assuming the
Stech • 08/01/23 11:10 PM ET
The B1G would then possess the FSU-Miami rivalry as well.
Maroon Baboon • 08/01/23 11:14 PM ET
Yeah I just don’t think Miami will ever be Miami it was in Dolphins Stadium
Stech • 08/01/23 11:23 PM ET
The easiest way to access Joe Robbie Stadium is from Broward Co.
