Unrelated rumors have the ACC looking still at the possibility of moving to 18 with Texas and two other possible schools, perhaps Navy and West Virginia or another.

How would this board feel about the SEC making a move to 18 by taking additional schools from the Big 12? Would you like to move to 16 and stop with 4 divisions of 4, or 2 divisions of 8? If you favor 18 would you prefer three divisions of 6?

If we took just two schools from the Big 12 who would you want?

If we took 4 schools from the Big 12 who would you want?

Oklahoma and Texas, or Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, or Oklahoma and Kansas, or Oklahoma and West Virginia would all be suitable to me in varying degrees.

At 4 I think it's just mop up time. Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, and West Virginia are the most profitable programs in that order in the Big 12. I would be fine with taking the four. But if Texas went to the ACC who would we take?

As you know I'm a fan of the 3 division set-up. So if the SEC expands again it should be to 18. Second, I would only expand if the conference was getting a King and a couple of princes. OU and OKST obviously fit the bill. If the ACC is able to give Texas a ND type deal, then the last two picks would be WVU and ECU as I think getting into NC is key for the SEC.

Finally, I have no idea where these rumors of Navy football to the ACC are coming from, but they are illogical and short-sighted. This isn't to say that Navy AD would be against it, or that the relationship Annapolis has with ND isn't being leveraged as it certainly appears to be. But the last thing the ACC needs is weaker version of WF, which is all Navy would amount to in the ACC.
