We stay at 16 taking Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. The two Texas flagships give us what we want in the Lone Star state and Oklahoma with Texas leaves them free to play OSU as an OOC game and Kansas finishes out the footprint and gives Missouri and Arkansas even more neighboring foes.

I don't think any SEC schools wants to join the ACC. But if ESPN's dream is ensuring the long term stability of both conferences then I don't see any other option than a wholesale restructuring. The first move of that reorganization would swap UTN and AUB in exchange for NCST and UVA.

At this point both conferences can go to 18 in order to crave up the B12 with:

UTX, TT, WVU, ND ------> ACC
OU, OKST, KU, ISU -----> SEC

The WWL would need to delve deep into Mickey's pockets to make such a dream happen, but it would IMO provide sufficient protection against potential FAANG raids. The B1G and PAC can opt for those distribution models.
