The scorecard (as of 6/13)

sources are pretty confident that TAMU is coming to the SEC.

The SEC has basically said they won't expand in states they're already in, so FSU, GA Tech, Clemson, and Miami are out.

Will the SEC try to pursue other ACC schools?

I think UNC, Duke, UVa, and Va Tech would be good picks. Their athletic programs and academics are better than some existing SEC programs.

I've seen NC State thrown around a lot. I'm not really sure why we would want them over NC other than they don't think NC would ever come to the SEC.

I definitely agree that it will be harder to get UVa and Duke over the other two.. But I don't think Va Tech or UNC will leave without their counterparts. They're attached at the hip

IF (big if) Mike Slive can convince either of these states to join (particularly Carolina) it will be a huge success on his part. Duke in particular - even though this is a football driven expansion, Duke and UNC will add academic success as well as more to our basketball powerhouse (Kentucky vs Duke? Awesome. Don't forget Duke won the Championship this year) and they'll be the first lacrosse teams in the SEC (again, don't forget Duke won the Championship this year [beating UNC in the semis])

Call Alleva and see what his take on Duke joining the SEC is...........

This is the popular thing to say, and it is what everybody said about UT & TAMU. We see how that looks to be working out.

@HotDamn In that case I hope you're right. I'd love to see those teams added to the SEC.
