It is hard to see a way for both to be the same amount of teams. At best you get both to 30 teams.

For the current 16 team SEC to get to 28 teams and keep the B1G out of the South they would need to add FSU, GA Tech, Clemson, UNC, Duke, UVA to start. That gets you to 22. Then who? Do you really want to add a 2nd team in Oklahoma, a 3rd team in North Carolina, a 2nd team in Virginia, a 2nd team in Kentucky? Kansas State? West Virginia? Cincy? If you take of those teams you are at 30. Is it worth it? I think 24 makes more sense for the SEC.

For the current 14 team B1G to get to 28 and not get into the South would need to start by adding the 9 AAU P12 schools and AAU Kansas. That gets you to 24. They can add Pitt (AAU) and non AAU private schools ND, BC, SU. Now you are at 28, which would make sense. Iowa State is AAU but I don't see how they fit. But if you must get to 30 you need to add them and likely UConn.

SEC could try for 2 teams each in most states. They are have that in 4 states. Making it in an additional 7 states might be achievable (8 if Kansas as well). Still seems hard to get past 24 though.
