Sankey Made a Statement About Expansion Last Week

It was right after the PAC exodus. Sankey said no schools were now available that the SEC would desire. I think that just positively means the SEC is not going west. No PAC & Big 12 raiding. However I also think it means no ACC schools are now available. Not FSU or anybody else. I do know this.The B1G going to 18 has created an imbalance between the P2 never before exactly seen like this. With the B1G having more schools than the SEC. It has always been the B1G reacting to SEC expansion in the past. The thing to note in that. Is the B1G always did surely react. History shows that. I think the SEC is now itching to react as well. I think you can kinda compare FSU possibly being desired by the SEC to Oklahoma. Oklahoma was a big brand in a small state. The SEC surely desired that brand while Texas would have got the nod just on that HUGE fan base. I think the SEC would want FSU & Clemson for brands. A Virginia & North Carolina school would be specifically for the SEC footprint. I think the SEC will never go beyond 20. I think all this expanding is already a big mistake that will eventually bite the college football game in the butt.

B1G needs them. SEC doesn't. Re VA/NC, why pull ACC?
FrederickHokie • 08/12/23 04:22 PM ET
The Big Ten doesn’t need FSU or Clemson, neither they or SEC would
reestuart • 08/12/23 11:34 PM ET
Big10 and SEC would never add any of those
mrcaniac • 08/12/23 10:40 PM ET
None of those schools bring Virginia or NC

I disagree strongly.
FrederickHokie • 08/12/23 06:21 PM ET
The B1G would never take ECU or ODU. **
tarheelblue • 08/12/23 08:01 PM ET
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.**

Truth!**
RJHokie • 08/12/23 04:50 PM ET
Better question, does anyone feel that they ever have thought about FSU & C**

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

Yeah IMHO I think they want new states in the South, and I think they feel

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

Interesting, I thought it would be more than that, but there are plenty of

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**

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

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.
