The SEC doesn't want them. The B1G does, bad. And that's why the SEC will

take them. A defensive move, so to speak. And ESPN would want this and pay for it (to keep them out of the B1G and Fox). If FSU was free and clear (and that's a massive IF), I could see a P2 bidding war for FSU. Also, the more teams that are added, the less legacy members of a conference get to play one another. So while playing FSU sounds cool, if it means SEC team playing Tennessee less often, or a B1G team playing Michigan less often, it might not be as cool. Look for ESPN to pay the SEC for a 9th conference game if SEC takes CU and FSU.

B1G needs them. SEC doesn't. Re VA/NC, why pull ACC?

The Big Ten doesn’t need FSU or Clemson, neither they or SEC would

Big10 and SEC would never add any of those

None of those schools bring Virginia or NC

I disagree strongly.

The B1G would never take ECU or ODU. **

As the ACC weakens, and becomes mid-major tier ...
FrederickHokie • 08/12/23 09:11 PM ET
ODU will never look good to the B1G.**

Better question, does anyone feel that they ever have thought about FSU & C**

Anything thing Sankey says about expansion, I take as a lie.**

SEC might have enough teams for men's soccer and wrestling.

I assume OU is staying in the XII for wrestling since Mizzou did.
Maroon Baboon • 08/12/23 02:53 PM ET
Yes, I think some of the sports could be developed inside the SEC.

Duke wrestling seems to be on the edge of dying at this point**

It’s a turf war.

If one VA and NC school goes to B1G and the other two to the SEC, it would

One would think that.
