The difference between conference payouts to these two conferences' schools now dwarfs every other school, ND included. The question is which schools do the SEC and B1G, if any.

Imo, any talk of expansion by the SEC or B1G must include at least an expansion of the playoffs and an expansion of regular season games, which is more feasible now that players are getting paid, both in conjunction of either an acutual separation by this two conferences or a de facto separation that includes a payoff that is more inclusive to other conferences. With the presnt money disparity and so much more that can be realized it is hard not to think this isn't the future.

Untrue.
These schools might want B1G money (or the projected SEC money) but I seriously doubt that many if any of the schools in the ACC or PAC actually want to be in the B1G or the SEC.

That is some serious head in the sand thinking right there. I don't doubt that used to be true, but not anymore. The reality is if any school can join another conference and make 30 million, maybe 50 million dollars more each year they would. It's silly to think otherwise. And please don't bring up endowments, they do not have a thing to do with such decisions.

Of course you have absolutely no proof to support your position nor are you likely to find any. To claim to KNOW what the BOT of every school outside of the B1G and SEC wants is ridiculous.

Lance, since when has any of the "knowledge" you've graced this board with ever come to fruition?

Weren't Texas and Baylor supposed to join the ACC?

I'll wait.

No, I imagined that Oklahoma and Baylor would be perfect additions for the SEC.
Texas would have been a great addition for the ACC but unfortunately they chose another path.
