Why would the SEC want to add a mediocre Big 12 team?


IDK, why would they want to add a school with one of the 3 or 4 largest enrollments, in the country that is located in the 2nd largest state with a huge following in 3 top 10 TV markets, has plans to expand their stadium to 90-100K, is in one of the top 3 states for HS talent, where several SEC teams already recruit. Big mystery there.

nor do they even want to expand.


Its much better to sit around and let the B1G and Pac 12 grow and get much more lucrative TV deals. Then the SEC can just react and take ACC teams from markets the SEC is already in.

People like to think of the pageantry of college football, not the financial stuff like tv markets shares

I'm all for superconferences though.

Plans? Put your $ where your mouth is

You would have to add another team as well. Will adding 2 more teams and splitting that between the SEC benefit the league financially?
