Big 12 looking to expand

[Young dawg]

With the big 12 looking to expand and keep up with the other conferences, what SEC teams could yall see them going after?

[CaptainObvious]

Arkansas, Missouri, A&M, and the new Media Darling, Ole Miss!😳

Off topic a bit but State reeeeeaaaalllly needs to start up a digital art/marketing program. Ole Miss is beating everyone’s azz in digital media and social engagement. You would think State would learn after a while but I guess not.

Can't fix stupid.

No one will leave the SEC for the B12.

Big 12 can target all the SEC teams they want but they aren’t going to get any just yet. Depending on where college football goes in the next few years though then it might be possible to get some that might not make the cut.

I mean big 12 supposedly is working on a deal to make it the highest paying conference. I would not be shocked if a sec school like lsu strongly considered it if they came calling. It would be a much easier conference to win and get a guaranteed playoff spot. However, you also wouldn?t get the benefit of the doubt if you lose a couple games that you may have in the sec.

Absolutely no one is leaving the SEC for the Big 12, that would be stupid. The next phase of CFB will be orchestrated by the SEC and Big 10. The ACC and Big 12 may be along for the ride, but they'll be in the back seat keeping their mouth shut.

Big 12 is NOT in the future Power2. The 40 team P2 is the future benchmark.

Lol. LSU wouldn't even listen to the Big 12. LSU considers themselves on same level as Bama and Georgia. They ARE the SEC.

If the SEC walks away from the "have nots", in the current set up I don't even think the Big 12 would take the SEC leftovers. The leftovers(State included) will eventually be G6.

Every team currently in the SEC is safe, no one is involuntarily going anywhere.

IF the Big 10 really wanted an SEC school, that would be an interesting situation. I doubt any current SEC school would seriously consider leaving for the Big 10 (maybe Missouri?).

[Young dawg]

I don?t actually think any SEC teams would leave. I was just wondering who everyone thought would be the team to take the bait and jump ship if the money was right and they had an easier path to the playoffs

What is your reasoning for "every team is safe"? Because the big boys will always need someone to whip up on for those guaranteed wins? Those days ended with NIL and Free-Agency. The SEC does not need the have nots. The have nots need the SEC, The conference just adding to more Haves to that Voting Block. Once the Super Division is formed, there will be no need for whipping boys. It will be like the NFL. A team could have 4 losses and win a NC because of RPI or whatever computer data they will be using.

State has one hope to survive a big big move by the Elites! A couple of Billionaire benefactors who don't give a crap about Academics, but just want to have winning Athletics programs!

While the Elites were building temples to the Football Programand Shrines for players and coaches. State was building parking lots for the band hall and a short cut from "The Spaceship" to Collegeview, eliminating another Parking area close to the Athletics facilities. Instead of building parking areas closer to Athletics facilities, State is making "Green Spaces" for the "Flower Children" to sit in and braid Clover Hair Bands!

The Big 12 will expand to take the midlevel ACC left overs after the SEC and Big 10 carve up the conference. Schools like Georgia Tech, Miami, and NC State will have a landing spot there if they can't get into the Power 2.

If Disney determines Vanderbilt is a financial liability, Disney will properly dispose of the dead weight. Big money is being invested for a ROI. Insofar as Mississippi State is concerned, MSU can be considered a top 40 program for the Power2 model and will be safe from relegation. The same is probably in effect for Rutgers in the BIG. We are heading to an NFC vs AFC model. That is a monetary not sports model as I see it.

IF, big IF, the SEC starts cutting current members anytime soon we most definitely will be in the Top 5 of teams cut along with Vanderbilt, Missouri, South Carolina, and maybe Arkansas.

You have stated Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, plus Mississippi State. There are not a lot of programs better to replace them. The BIG will add two more with the SEC adding four. Once the finalization occurs with 4 SEC additions and possibly 5 with Vandy relegation, who out there is better than those four.

The SEC is going to keep its power (and the Big 10 will too), the SEC/BIG 10 will not be part of the path forward, they ARE the path forward. The SEC is a nice cohesive unit, everyone will stay together, plus the close travel makes a ton of sense. The SEC power schools aren't going to give up power to form another division. Bama, UGA, UF probably drive many conference decisions, we go along to get along and don't make a ton of waves. Bama/UGA aren't leaving their comfy conference and joining a conference with TOSU, Michigan, USC, etc, all who'd demand as much influence as Bama/UGA. It's yet to be seen how being spread across the country will workout for the Big 10.

It's not that State's powers that be are unaware. It's just that they don't take trying to be the best in football seriously. OM does.
