USC and UCLA reportedly moving to the Big Ten caught many by surprise. But there could be a silver lining for the SEC: Further ACC irrelevance. 'If you are Dabo Swinney, you are screaming at your [AD] at Clemson to get you to the SEC.'
SEC presidents probably would prefer to go after North Carolina and Duke, for reasons of academic prestige. It might not seem like the best fit, but at this point, it’s all about the money.
Whereas the Big 12 was viewed as the most unstable conference for the past decade, the ACC and soon-to-be Pac-10 now share that distinction. It’s feasible that the Big 12 might have enough leverage to drawThe SEC will move to 16 teams when Oklahoma and Texas join the conference. If it wanted anybody else from the Big 12, it could have done so at the time. Of course, the calculus might change now if the idea is to go to 20-plus teams. Oklahoma State could reunite with Oklahoma.
Speaking to media members in May, Sankey made specific mention of a member colleague renegotiating its media rights deal. That wasn’t by accident. The SEC adding Texas and Oklahoma certainly increased its value in terms of future television deals or set the basis for renegotiating. If the future is indeed super-conferences of as many as 20 members, those back-room, hushed conversations are likely being had sooner rather than later.
