I don’t want any expansion but Florida state seems like such a better cultural fit

Would be hilarious if FSU gets left out in the cold

The next SEC addition will be four schools.

Probably North Carolina, Clemson, FSU, and Virginia Tech.

UNC seems more like a Big Ten school

North Carolina is probably the home run addition to the SEC. New market but within your current regional footprint, big state school, national fanbase, potential in football and known brand in basketball, etc.

I would pass on Clemson if I were the SEC and go after one of the Virginia schools to get into a new market.

ETA: Virginia feels like Big Ten. Virginia Tech feels like SEC

FSU and Clemson are much better fits but...

They probably want UNC for Basketball revenue generation

Clemson is an overall mediocre athletic program both historically and now, and would represent dilution to the conference. They have no business being offered a seat at the table on equal footing. Reduced share or not at all

I know it will happen and I know the reason is money, but you’re really losing the plot with a 20 team conference. Same thing with the Big 10 going to 18. The whole point of a conference is to play the other teams in your conference. Can’t really do that with 20 teams.

it needs to be said every single time now but markets do not matter any more

used to when they were selling the SEC network to cable providers. Now it is just brands and matchups

please want Clemson vs Alabama. Not UVA vs Vandy

More Expansion = Shrinking the product

They're really just whittling and narrowing it down, by invite, who gets a ticket into the new CFB Club.

Two 20 team Conferences, AFC-NFC if you will...cut out any oversight, members only to the Playoffs, for the select.
