Thanks for the welcome Texas Trojan.I remember Troy from the days when you & UT Martin were in the Gulf South in Division 2.Let me explain the Kentucky to Big Ten,etc thing.Throughout the 70's & 80's there were frequent rumors of KY leaving or Florida going to the ACC.A whole lot of smoke (pun intended) but no fire.A lot of SEC fans were hoping the rumor of Vandy & Clemson trading conferences was true but there wasn't anything to it.This was before the ACC took a big step forward in football.Clemson just resembles the typical SEC school a lot more than Vanderbilt.

The idea about maybe going after a HSBC school is very interesting.Has there been any talk about this?I think Grambling & South Carolina State would be good additions.
