If You Want To Know Where The SEC Will Expand Next Then Get Out Your Map Of The USA!
So get out your map!
The SEC has the Flagship University in:
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
In Large State Texas it holds the second flagship as well, A&M
Where Next? Look at the Northern Boundary: Virginia, North Carolina, Kansas and the second Flagship in Florida, Florida State.
If the SEC can't avoid taking Duke with UNC and Virginia then Kansas may be a bridge too far.
A few months back Warren spoke of 22 schools. Why? Division-less conferences can schedule as long as the numbers are even and he was considering how many schools of potential value could be added to the Big 10. It's odd because potentially 22 are what exist for the SEC as well.
At 20 Ideally we add: Florida State, Kansas, North Carolina, Virginia
At 20 with Duke we add: Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia
But, at 22, we add: Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Kansas, North Carolina and Virginia.
Tell me you thoughts. I am intrigued with the set of schools at 22.
What if the Big 10 added: California, Colorado, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, Washington to get to 22?
What might the composite Big 12 look like?
Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, Oregon State, Utah, Washington State
Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Texas Christian, Texas Tech
Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami, N.C. State, Virginia Tech
Cincinnati, Iowa State, Boston College, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia
