It seems a vote to approve a scheduling proposal vote on a 16 school SEC is being tabled for now pending the resolution of some things at present. Now before anyone jumps the shark, Texas and Oklahoma are in and this does not involve them. The conference just doesn't see the need to approve a proposal which may need to be reworked. Expansion? Hmm? We'll see.
Another breadcrumb.
ACC schools to SEC? ND "loose scheduling agreement"?
I can't decide if I want this wrapped up soon, or if now I am mostly following college sports for the realignment implications. After two decades, likely the latter
I understand the feeling. My question is do the networks want this wrapped up now? I sincerely think yes! FOX needs to close out the B1G media deal and needs resolution on the ND issue before dealing with the Big 12. ESPN wants resolution on dealing with the ACC complainants' before negotiating with the PAC remnants and offering anything to the Big 12.
Let's say the Big Ten and SEC simply agree to 20 at this time and the Big 10 closes out a division in the PAC and the SEC agrees to leave Kansas alone.
B1G gets ND, Stanford, Washington and California
SEC gets UNC, UVa, Clemson and FSU.
FOX gets the B12 plus Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, Oregon State, Colorado and Utah and Washington State
ACC: Picks up UCF, Cincinnati, WVU from the B12 plus USF, UConn and Temple.
The SEC stands at 20. The B1G stands at 20. The B12 stands at 16 (12+7-3=16).
The ACC stands at 16. (15-5+6)
Big 12:
Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, Washington State
Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, Colorado
Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State
Baylor, Houston, Texas Christian, Texas Tech
This goes to FOX and cross conference games give the B1G an entrance to Texas and permit PAC opponents in the Big Ten OOC foes close to home and helps both keep some rivals.
ACC:
Boston College, Connecticut, Syracuse, Temple
Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, West Virginia
Duke, Louisville, N.C. State, Wake Forest
Central Florida, Georgia Tech, Miami, South Florida
This stays with ESPN and rivalries shared with the SEC.
B1G:
California, California Los Angeles, Southern Cal, Stanford, Washington
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin
Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Ohio State
Maryland, Notre Dame, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers
SEC:
Clemson, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia
Auburn, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Vanderbilt
Alabama, Florida State, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State
Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M
Something like this could work if the ACC and B12 get a bump.
