Conference Expansion to 16 is a possibility

This new rule means more opponents need in the SEC conference. The SEC needs to add a couple teams, Not elite teams, just good teams.
With all 65 teams having to play JUST each other, I think afew teams need to be added to the SEC. They need 2 more to add to make for a more rounded league.
Maybe 2 of these:
1.SMU - Dallas market
or
2.Rice - Houston market
3.East Carolina - if no other North Carolina team wants to come to the SEC.
4. Virginia - Tell the ACC to take a walk.
5. Maybe Tulsa - just to be in Oklahoma.
If I could pick any of the above: Give me-
SMU
and
NC State
I see an issue developing with teams in the Big 10, ACC, Big 12, and Pac 12 not wanting to play an SEC Elite team. You think Indiana or Iowa St or Wake Forest wants to add a team like LSU, Auburn, Florida to there schedule ? They want to play Vandy, Kentucky, or Missouri ... So LSU, Florida, and Alabama and the likes will have to Schedule Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Clemson, etc... But will these teams want to play us ?? I think they will avoid SEC elite teams on purpose leaving us in a pinch.
Slive better get to work.

Nah I'm good

If adding to SEC, Southern Miss must be the first choice.

SMU - Dallas market
SMU is not going to draw enough of the Dallas market to make difference. Do you know how low SMU is on the list for Dallas Sports fans?
Rice is also totally irrelevant for Houston Sports fans.
If you want to make a splash, go get Florida State and Clemson.

you got that out of the new NCAA ruling?

Texas A&M will NEVER vote for SMU or Rice.

No more expansion for my taste, but if we HAVE to expand, we would add teams like Virginia Tech/NC State to expand into those states. You can be assured that no team from any current state represented will be invited.

Nah bruh listen here. We'd get OU, VT, NC, or some big schools like that.

Clemson and University of Louisiana

Not gonna happen, but if it did, it's all about conference footprint. We're not adding any more Texas schools. If we had to, I'd take NC State and Virginia Tech, to get NC and VA.

They add a good team to the league. We don't need elite teams added. This is more of a opponent to add for a more balanced league (East vs West) Plus permanent opponents will disappear.

Texas A&M don't have the clout or votes to stop it.

SMU? Rice? Tulsa?
wtf is this shite

Tulane and Duke need some smarts

Why do people continue to call for adding Clemson and Florida State? SC and Florida would never let it happen, plus that's not how expansion strategy works these days. Maybe 30 years ago.
And please, no mention of SMUs,, Rices, USMs, etc. That doesn't pass any bulletin board test.

What?
Posted on 8/7/14 at 2:48 pm to 24chevrolet48
If balance is the concern, why not add 2 eastern teams and move Missouri to the West? Makes the most geographic sense.

I know they want to play ONLY the teams in the 65.
Look at my reasoning on my post, We may have issues getting those elite teams to come to LSU. They would rather go to Kentucky or Arkansas .. I see scheduling problems.
