Which schools would be included/excluded in the new SEC?

Posters will scoff at the notion. But I think Arkansas will eventually join Houston, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma state, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech in forming a new conference. Now I'm not posting that it will be limited to these members. Just that these will be the foundation of the new SWC.

Actually, I think it would be a good move for Arkansas. If Arkansas can get close to new ACC money ($5 million behind the SEC), the Razorbacks could flourish again.

Hey X. Ours will be up 5 million next year without a new contract. Plus we get a bump if the ACCN and SECN are truly bundled so..... You were over 15 million behind us for 2015-6. It will likely be flat for last year because we missed out on Sugar Bowl money due to the CFP rotation. But you won't sniff being within $5 million of us unless you make key additions.

And for the record Arkansas is going nowhere. They'd lose too much money and too much exposure.

At that point add those 7 to the SEC and have 3 seven team divisions.

But at that point the SEC doesn't need Houston and may not need TCU. Either Tech or OSU get left out since they can be played out of conference. So we only need to go to 18.

We just need essentially a true western division.

Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech

Then a central division of:

Alabama, Auburn, L.S.U., Mississippi, Mississippi State, Texas A&M

And an eastern division of:

Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt

That way for the core of each division's schedule the away games are easily accessible.

Not from the projections I've seen, JR.

Arkansas already left the old SWC. Remember why they eventually left? Why in the world would they saddle up with Texas and Oklahoma? Do you think they have not noticed the debacle called the Big XII (or X)? No SEC schools will leave on their own and the SEC will not ask any member to leave. Arkansas has a great home and will not be giving it up.

Impressive JR.
It would mean that ESPN would have no use for the west coast, except for some leased product to show some east coast night owls.
The three division set-up would also be good for the ACC but with 15 (+ Notre Dame)

Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, West Virginia, Louisville

Virginia Tech, NC State, Wake Forest, Clemson, Florida State

UVa, Carolina, Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami

I think it would benefit both Arkansas and WVU and both leagues for Arkansas & WVU to trade spots.

That's an interesting concept. But it would have to be what the Arkansas and West Virginia administrations would want.

I believe the Big XII asked Arkansas to come over to the conference around 2010 or so, and they respectfully declined. I do not think it was an official request, rather a back channel deal.

Hey be careful of those quoted posts there Medic. I don't want anyone thinking that I thought it would benefit Arkansas and WVU. BTW there have always been UT folks trying lure Miss Piggy back, but so far the Hogs have remained Boars on the issue!

Missouri should just form a new conference. Add Kansas and KSU, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Give Nebraska and Colorado a sweetheart deal. Let's call it the big 8.

Then Texas, tech, tcu and Baylor could join. It could be a big 12.

Posters will scoff at the notion. But I think Arkansas will eventually join Houston, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma state, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech in forming a new conference. Now I'm not posting that it will be limited to these members. Just that these will be the foundation of the new SWC.

I think it would benefit both Arkansas and WVU and both leagues for Arkansas & WVU to trade spots.

Kinda puts Missouri out on an island, maybe they should move too.
Nah. We still have Tennessee and Kentucky to keep us company. Mississippi is only 66 miles away.04-cheers

I'd like to see the SEC pull in a couple more schools on the outskirts of their current geography: Iowa St, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, TCU, West Virginia.

Let Texas sweat it out with the B1G, PAC, and ACC.

For fun...

North: Iowa St, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky, West Virginia
West: Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, TCU, Texas A&M, Arkansas
South: LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi St, Alabama, Auburn
East: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina

The North is way too weak.

North (Old Big 8): Iowa State, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State
West: (Old Rivals): Arkansas, L.S.U., Mississippi, Texas A&M, T.C.U.
South: Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
East: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina, West Virginia

I just used the teams you had selected. But now there are Kings, challengers, run makers, and bottom dwellers in each geographically grouped division.

(A.) Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State move to the PAC:

(B.) Oklahoma and Kansas move to the Big 10:

(C.) Oklahoma and Oklahoma State move to the SEC:

IMO if these were to occur the following would happen:

A.) Kansas tries to go to B1G or SEC. It wouldn't shock me if the B1G says no to Kansas but the SEC grabs them to improve their basketball branding. Otherwise WVU tries to go ACC and ESPN ultimately makes it happen. The rest of the Big XII probably keep the Big XII name, continue to gets Sugar Bowl access until after the agreement with the SEC is up (like how the Big East got access as a power conference after it was gutted), and there will be a ton of applications from the likes of UCF, USF, Houston, etc... attempting to ride the wave until after the evitable happens of the conference getting demoted to Group of level (just like the whole end of Big East to AAC days).

B.) Personally I don't believe this will happen, but if it did I would be surprised. I don't believe B1G has interest in either school TBH. If hypothetically that were to occur, I could see the Big XII staying together with Texas as king of the castle, depending upon how everyone perceives the league either Texas owns the league or they are doing an Notre Dame type deal where they are in the league for all Olympic sports but only agree to 5 or so Football games a year to help with scheduling. This will put the Big XII in a weird state of limbo between Group of 5 and Power 5 level.

C.) Of the three choices this one is probably the most likely to occur. If this were to happen I would imagine my scenario B would still b very plausible, however a wild card is that Texas also joins the SEC (to reunite with all of the old rivals) with Kansas (bounce from the sinking ship and the SEC desperately needs another basketball brand). I don't believe the B1G will make a move out west unless they have to, and I still believe they covet ACC schools more than Big XII schools due to Delaney's plan of building an East Coast presence.
