RE: If the SEC did expand again and did so from the Big 12 who should we take and why?
Just so you can visualize what we would be talking about:
First BBB's suggestion:
Big 10:
Duke, Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia
Boston College, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse
Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern
SEC:
Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, N.C. State, Virginia Tech
Alabama, Florida State, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Vanderbilt
Arkansas, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Missouri, Texas A&M
Big 12:
Louisville, Miami, Pittsburgh, West Virignia
Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
Baylor, Texas, T.C.U., Texas Tech
PAC:
Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah
California, Southern Cal, Stanford, U.C.L.A.
Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State
Or if the Big 10 and SEC both take 6 from the ACC in order to dissolve the conference and the PAC takes 8 from the Big 12 in order to dissolve the conference:
Big 10:
Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, Penn State, Virginia
Boston College, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Rutgers, Syracuse
Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern
SEC:
Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech
Alabama, Florida State, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Vanderbilt
Kentucky, N.C. State, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Virginia Tech
Arkansas, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Missouri, Texas A&M
PAC:
Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
Baylor, Colorado, Texas, Texas Tech, Utah
Arizona, Arizona State, California, California Los Angeles, Southern Cal
Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, Washington State
Out from the ACC: Louisville, Miami, Wake Forest
Out from the Big 12: Texas Christian, West Virginia
Independent Out: Brigham Young
This would probably require ESPN landing the Big 10 T1 contract (to put them in the mood to relinquish ACC property to the Big 10) and for the to acquire a nice piece of the PACN (for them to put Texas, OU, and Kansas in the PAC).
Now those were the suggestions and they are nice and neat but they require a lot of things to break right for the Mouse.
