Looks like the SEC might be expanding and the Big 12 might get the nail in the coffin.

If the Big 12 crumbles I would assume other conferences besides the SEC will be expanding as well.
It takes 3/4 of the league to approve it.
You know A&M won’t. Would Arkansas, LSU, and Missouri? Not too sure about the Alabama and Mississippi schools.
Could do a pod system as well:
SEC North:
Kentucky
Arkansas
Vanderbilt
Missouri
SEC East:
Georgia
Florida
South Carolina
Tennessee
SEC South:
Alabama
Auburn
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
SEC West:
LSU
Oklahoma
Texas
Texas A&M
WVU is chomping at the bit to get into the ACC.
A&M would be the lone no, the massive pile of cash this will lead to will bring everyone else around.
Go Gators!
Yeah. Texas and Oklahoma are two premier programs. The SEC should be tripping all over themselves to sign them up.
That's potentially a billion dollar move for the SEC.
SEC won't let Texas keep the Longhorn Network. Period.

It would folded into the SEC network, both are run by ESPN who will be happy to be free of the money loser the longhorn network is.

Has anyone actually seen the Longhorn Network? Are we certain it exists?
Mine would be
Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky
Tennessee, Vandy, Miss St, Ole Miss
LSU, Bama, Arkansas, Auburn
Mizzou, A&M, UT, OU
The pods would work great for scheduling but im not sure how they would determine the SEC championship matchup, there could very well be tied teams who didnt play each other. They could have other tie breakers I guess but that wouldnt seem fair.
As for scheduling if they had it like this I would be in favor:
Play 3 games against the other teams in your pod. One year its 2 homes and one away and the other year its 2 away and one home.
Play against another pod on a 3 year rotating basis - Two home / Two Away
The other two games would be based on playing against a team from each of the other two pods you arent playing based on same finishes within the pod (like the NFL). If you finish 2nd then the next year you play the two other teams who finished second. One game would be home, one away.
9 game conference season, one year its 5 home/4 away and the next its 4 home/5 away.

Perhaps, you could also have teams leave the SEC?

As they should.
I laughed and then I thought...and no, I have never seen the Longhorn Network.
They can throw a fit but they are taking a substantial pay cut if they leave for another conference. The financial boon the conference is going to take would be worth the Texas/A&M drama.
As for WVU, they are going to jump to whatever conference has the best chance to get them to a chance at the Playoff or New Years Six game. I don’t see any conference reciprocating though. If the ACC doesn’t take them they should go back to the American or stay in whatever comes out of the Big 12.

Wonder what the big10+4 will do? maybe A&M can go there
