re: SEC Expansion

Imo, I think the only reason the Big Ten is considering any of this is because it is trying to catch up to the SEC. The SEC gets the most money, has the highest attendance and is practically guaranteed to have a team in the BCSNC every year. It is unequivocally regarded as THE BEST conference year in and year out.

The Big Ten (nor any other conference) cannot compete with the SEC as it stands now. By adding some other power or name teams, the Big Ten stands to garner strength of schedule, marketability and exposure, etc. that only the SEC has now. It is generally regarded in the same light as the Big XII and Pac-10-one or two heavyweights, OSU and Michigan, and the rest mediocre.

So I say, the SEC is good and tough enough as it is now. Let them expand and beat each others brains out every year just as the SEC does.

Besides, I just don't see the Big XII breaking up and teams like Texas, A&M, Zero U or Okie St. ever joining the SEC. If we were to get a team from that area, I would think it would be TCU. They could definitely compete in the SEC! But I think a more likely scenario is if Mizzou goes to the Big Ten as is likely, TCU will take its place in the Big XII. There's just too much stubborness on the part of the Big XII to ever dissolve completely. The Okies here would shite all over themselves if they had to play LSU every year!

If the SEC indeed does expand, the teams will likely come from a dissolved Big East. With the Big East being the likely big loser, the teams left over will probably be absorbed into the ACC and maybe the SEC. And I don't think any more than two teams should be added to the SEC.
