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

Well Alexander took his sword and cut it. That's called thinking outside of the scabbard! So should we put Bevo and Sooner to the sword and just cut the loose?

Hate sells tickets. The tighter and more compact you are the more you can hate each other.

Outside the scabbard:

PAC adds:
Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Kansas State
OR Texas, TCU, Oklahoma and Kansas State

SEC cedes Missouri to the B1G
adds: Baylor, TCU and Oklahoma
OR Baylor, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State

B1G adds:
Missouri, Kansas and Iowa State
Loses: Maryland or Rutgers OR both

ACC adds:
from the B1G either Maryland or Rutgers
From the Big 12: West Virginia

Notre Dame stays semi-independent

Of course there is still the dream of trading Louisville for South Carolina
and Pittsburgh to the B1G for either of the remaining Maryland or Rutgers.

Seriously, if we are going to take in a national brand then we need to preserve as much of their familial relationships as possible.

If Missouri, Arkansas, and A&M are going to thrive then adding Oklahoma, Kansas, and yes even Texas becomes necessary to prevent the withering of programs that were added in isolation of their former ties.

So adding Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State & Kansas make sense. Why? Playing each other keeps their venues full. Playing our top brands multiplies the national content value. Both parts of the equation have to be present for profits to be sustained. If we need a 6th then Iowa State makes sense.

Nebraska, Arkansas, and to a certain extent Penn State have had difficulties making their adjustments.

I would argue that Georgia Tech would have been better off had it stayed in the SEC.

If we are going to go big on conferences then we need to preserve the core of UT & OU's heritage for the sake of their fan bases, and then make them a wing of the SEC instead of uprooting one or two and killing their history.

The market model is dying now. Interest is what will sell games. Brand on Brand will sell games. We need to preserve both and even if it means a bit less of a boost it's time we finished realignment but do so by preserving the essence of what the join fan bases appreciate, while blending them into our larger world.

Nobody is going beyond 16. (period).

I bet they do. And if for no other reason it will happen because the market model dies and content of high regional and national quality will drive the movement. And the added benefit will be the leverage that larger conferences garner. And when networks start getting tight with the cash that will be yet another incentive. Conferences will become the brokers of their own content for streaming and schools will likely use their own announcers which will be an improvement over ESPN & FOX in most cases.
