If the SEC did expand again and did so from the Big 12 who should we take and why?

I would be fine with TCU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Kansas

Hopefully then we can snag a few from the ACC to finish out our roster.

If neither survive then I would like to see Florida State, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Louisville, Virginia Tech, and NC State come aboard. That's a very strong and diverse 24.

West - Texas A&M, TCU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Missouri
South - Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Alabama, Auburn
North - Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Louisville, Virginia Tech, NC State
East - Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Clemson

I think it may be necessary for two reasons. OU will insist upon it. And OU would have a difficult time scheduling both UT & OSU out of conference.

If we went to 16 with OU/KU that would be execellent. A blue blood football and blue blood basketball program, two new states, two massive followings, two good academic schools with one being AAU. The Missouri/Kansas rivalry can continue. I like it.

If we need to go to 18 with B12 schools, of JR's list of OU, WVU, KU, and TCU, OU/WVU/KU would provide value to the SEC. The fourth spot could be reworked to add either the most valuable member possible, or to ease Oklahoma political issues, OSU. TCU just doesn't do much for me. I think if we had to add another Texas team that's not UT, Tech then Baylor then TCU would be my ranking. I really like Baylor's recent investments into their athletic program.

How about OU, OSU, KU, and TCU?

That way we might get everything in the West we could use and leave room for possible ACC additions in the future.

I don't really mind WVU, but part of their value would be duplicated by UVA or VT.

The original, and only premise, in which WVU even gets considered is the one that says no ACC teams are possible. That's what this suggestion was predicated upon, no ACC teams.

With an Oklahoma school TCU really isn't worth it on so many levels. They are only competitive in 2 sports and then not to the degree that everyone thinks except for baseball. Their attendance would be just ahead of Vanderbilt for next to last place in the SEC and they don't travel well at all. Academics would be lower than the norm for the SEC although they have good academics, certainly better than WVU.

The idea here is to get the most for the least added. OU, KU, Texas are really the only school that could add anything to the SEC from the Big 12. F.S.U., a Virginia school and a North Carolina school are really the only ones from the ACC that add to the SEC. Oklahoma State & Duke would be tag-a-longs. Our ideal expansion (for the sake of profit) would be Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Florida State and that's it. Kick out Texas and Kansas (Texas as a duplication and pain in the rear, and Kansas because they don't fit our culture) and you have the perfect 4 with which to go to 18 based solely on the numbers.
