SEC Football Unfiltered: If SEC expands to 20 teams, consider these four ACC schools
As a 16-team conference with Oklahoma and Texas on board, the SEC is an undeniable super league.
The SEC doesn't need to expand again. But, don't rule out the SEC wanting to, especially if the ACC fractures.
SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey says the conference is focused on its current membership, but he didn't entirely shut down the idea of further expansion, when asked directly.
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams unpack Sankey's comments and why they might point toward the possibility of the SEC becoming interested in ACC members, if the ACC's media rights deal doesn't hold.
Florida State and Clemson are suing the ACC, amid an ongoing battle with the ACC's contract that has, thus far, glued its membership in place.
Toppmeyer and Adams offer differing opinions on which four ACC schools the SEC should target, should those schools become available.
Later in the episode, an examination of the College Football Hall of Fame candidacies of Mike Leach and Les Miles.

How to define success? And what are some good vacation destinations in Mexico? Tony Vitello has answers to these questions. He also has another College World Series team on his hands. Tennessee’s baseball coach uncorked a lengthy rant after his Vols advanced to the CWS, during which he literally quoted the definition of success from the dictionary. What had Vitello so worked up?

By comparison, Alabama lost 39 players to the portal. How does Josh Heupel pull off this impre...

    Circuit Judge Cooper in Leon County aka Tallahassee has now ruled that The Florida State University vs ACC Case belongs in Florida. Then he went further in ruling that should Miami decide to sue the ACC, their case too should be in Florida. I am paraphrasing “The ACC is doing business in the State of Florida. College Football is a business. It is a big time business that involving $ billions & the ACC is subject to Florida Law”. He laid out supporting Florida Statues & threw in some North Carolina Statues (law) to further support his decision. The term “Sovereign Immunity” was not said. *There are only 20 Circuit Judges in Florida & there are none more Powerful than the 2nd Judicial Circuit Seat in Florida’s Capital City aka Leon County. There are Items that may come before a County Judge or another Circuit Judge that will be mandated to be sent to Leon County. Any Extraordinary, High Profile, Government or Government Entity are sent before the Leon County Circuit Judge. Once a decision, ruling, or Judgement made by Circuit Judge Cooper carry’s the full weight of a “Appellate Court Decision”. The only place left to appeal is the Florida Supreme Court. They may decide to let Judge Cooper’s judgement stand. He is known for being a no nonsense, rooted in the law, and not having his decision’s over turned. I am a Seminole so don’t kill me. Those hoping for a long trial are out of luck: Judge Cooper, “I have a lot on my plate, besides this case”. *Think of “Al Gore vs George Bush” as a perfect example of what type of Case the Leon County Circuit Judge will receive; because, the vote counting/ hanging chad issues were in Palm Beach. The wheels of realignment maybe sooner than later. (I hope this helps in understanding Florida Court system works). 🇺🇸

    SEC doesn't need more football powers, with the extended playoffs, more wins for 3rd, 4th, 5th spots. Only reason to take FSU/Clemson would be to keep B1G out. Improve basketball, take UNC, Duke, UVa & Kansas. Team them with Kentucky. If you don't like KU, take WV.

      Oh, great! Sounds like a plan. Well, except for the pesky fact that football provides 80% of the revenue, basketball 15% and all else 5%. No matter how good you are in basketball, you aren’t going to make enough money to make up for being poor in football. Every one of those schools you listed would lose tens of millions of dollars a year. Simple math. Just a fact. Easily proven. Is that really what the SEC wants to do? Fine by me. Their money.
