I heard that too but they just joined the ACC. I dont see that happening. Same reason why UM wont join.

One additional east team that's supposedly in the mix is Virginia Tech.

The problem with any 16 league team is that you could play only one team from the other division in any given year. The one team would have to be on an 16 year rotation with playing them twice in the 16 years.



I have changed my mind about F$U and even Miami. F$U adds nothing to the SEC. Miami would add a major Hispanic TV market but I am not thrilled with having such a poorly attended team.



Interestingly, I would argue that Miami made a grave mistake giving up on the Big East. They were able to recruit the Northeast. Since they lost the TV coverage in the Northeast, their recruiting has gone south.



If we stuck with only Texas and Texas A&M, an interesting pick might be Duke and NC. It would completely change the SEC basketball program and it would add Charlotte’s TV market.

Unless the SEC gets Texas, I am not interested in expansion and hope it doesn't happen.

This is kind of the way I see it, because you know that the SEC is going to do something. I think ESPN will be behind the realignment but not sure about adding FSU and/or Miami but what about Oklahoma? You talk about some tough games! But will be great to see! Fran



From an article: “So, the SEC adds Texas and Texas A&M from the west and then adds Miami and Florida State from the east. It's that simp le. And if ESPN is smart, which it is, they'll demand this, broker t his and help get it done. In adding all of the football powers from Texas and Florida to your league, you lock down the country's two mo st influential football states and then let the rest of the college football fight for the scraps”
