I see the B1G going after UNC and UVa.  Those appear to be the schools they really want.

To get them, they might also have to take NC State and VT.

And they might do that.  It keeps the SEC out of NC and Va.

Just don't see these great academic institutions in the same conference as many of the SEC schools.  They don't belong there and they should have their choice where they go.

Anyway, if the B1G closes off top choices in NC and Va, what does the SEC do?

Take Wake or Duke?  No.

Take James Madison or Liberty?  No.

Do they take FSU, who Florida desperately does not want in the SEC?

Do they take Clemson, who South Carolina desperately does not want in the SEC?

Texas A&M did not want Texas in the SEC and got voted down.  But they were a newcomer.

I think Florida and South Carolina might have more pull.  And I am not sure adding those programs does much to elevate the SEC.  If they take them, it is only to block the B1G from taking them.

The B1G might want FSU and Clemson.  But they might be all full at the inn by then.  4 more schools is a lot to take in.  But if my math is right, adding 6 more gets the B1G to 24, which seems like a good number to stop at.  So it might just happen.
