Title: Who’s ready for another round of conference realignment/expansion? Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 16, 2023, 05:28:14 EDT https://twitter.com/brett_mcmurphy/status/1658174167789756433?s=61&t=wvMUJkiaXIInhx71fKgtyw

This would make it the first super conference. Title: Re: Who’s ready for another round of conference realignment/expansion? Post by: Black Diamond Vol on May 17, 2023, 06:55:18 EDT SEC could add four more teams to get to 20. This would make it the first super conference. I’ve always wanted the SEC to break into NC and VA. Those are two big states within our geographic footprint that would expand our TV reach all the way up into Big 10 country. They just make sense. UNC and UVA would be preferable, but I’d take VPI, Duke, or NCSU too. I kinda wish we had held off on tx and OU and waited out the ACC’s inevitable demise. It would suck for scheduling, though. The presumed upcoming 9 game conference slate would feature matchups with every other SEC school every two years, and a visit to every SEC campus every 4. It’s perfect. I don’t know how they’d handle scheduling for 18 or 20 schools. Title: Re: Who’s ready for another round of conference realignment/expansion?

Might like to block Clemson for the hell of it :biggrin: Title: Re: Who’s ready for another round of conference realignment/expansion?

Might like to block Clemson for the hell of it :biggrin: There’s a lot of sentiment out there to invite Clemson. But it doesn’t make sense to double down in a small state like SC. FSU would also be redundant, but at least FL is a big state. Still, I’d prefer to expand into new states to increase the SECN’s revenue. For better or worse it’s a money game now, and the Big 10 will soon include the #’s 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 media markets. We need to keep up.

Then it could be the CFC...Con-federate Football Conference. Just perfect for the times! :bowrofl: |
