What if the SEC decided upon a combination of strategies, east & west??

As a War Between the States history buff, I remember that the Coonfederacy did try to expand to the west in the early days of its existence, but was stopped at the Battle of Glorietta Pass, if I'm not mistaken, which basically ended the South's hopes to go west just like Gettysburg ended the South's hopes of going north.

Let's say that the SEC decides to "go beyond Glorietta Pass" and convince some of the Pac 12 schools to join, like a few of the 4 corners PAC schools.
A combination of ACC and Pac 12 targets would allow the SEC to progress along two fronts: football & basketball, as well as add a new dimension to the equation: late night programming, something that shouldn't be dismissed, IMHO.

Since the SEC loves rivalries:

Georgia, Florida, Tennesee , Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, Florida State, Clemson, South Carolina, North Carolina , Virginia Tech, Vandy, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arizona, Arizona State, Louisville, NC State/Duke

definitely big, but definitely lots of rivalries. Not only is football very strong, but so is basketball!!
