As things stand they are the smallest venue in the SEC and they still don't fill it for non conference games and rely heavily on conference games to fill it. What's more Vanderbilt doesn't participate in Women's Softball in the conference either.

Could this lead them to eventually move to where they could be more competitive? Possibly. The Big 10 has expressed interest in the past but they are trying to accomplish the same enhancements that the SEC has been trying to accomplish and right now they need a strong brand in football which Vandy isn't.

But, the ACC which is needing new markets might be the right fit for them.

If something like this came to pass that would open up a 3rd slot for the SEC to use in its Western expansion.

Why not go fro the trifecta of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

SEC West:
Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M

SEC East:
Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee

The balance between the two divisions would be very close.

The LHN could become the SEC Western Division Channel and the Charlotte Studio would become the SEC Eastern Division Channel.

A 9 game schedule with 7 division games and 2 crossovers would permit a rotation that would be completed every 4 years. Games like the Egg Bowl could be played in lieu of an OOC P game.

If for some reason something had to be sacrificed for Oklahoma to remain with OSU we could pull in T.C.U. or Texas Tech to accomplish the same ends.

That would be an ideal addition set should Vanderbilt leave or step down.

I would also give looks to Virginia Tech, Florida State, West Virginia and Oklahoma State and Texas Tech as they will probably be in the mix along with Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.

I still don’t get the TCU love. If you want a bigger presence in DWF, add an Oklahoma school. I would only consider rounding out with TCU if Texas and Oklahoma turned us down and we added an Eastern school or two.

You still have a 15-20 year wait before you could even sniff Virginia Tech or Florida State.
