Wilkins could have slammed the door, but he didn't.

I think that says a lot. He could have said "we are in the ACC to stay and have no interest in leaving whatsoever. " Instead he almost invites other conferences to contact us. Hmmmm

I would think the BOT would want to make absolutely sure that the door to the SEC is closed before agreeing to go to Big 12.

LMAO at anyone thinking the coots have any pull in the SEC. They will do as they are told. That being said, I don't see the SEC offering Clemson based on their whole desire to have new markets...not because the coots are keeping us out...HAHA!

Probably true, but what if FSU and Ga Tech left for the Big 12? USC would no longer have the alliance votes needed to block us. Having said that, I think the SEC would rather have Va Tech than us because of their TV market.

The SEC will pursue VT and a NC school.

SEC doesn't want Clemson or FSU….
May 24, 2012, 11:11 PM
[ in reply to Baiting the SEC?*** ] |

this is all about the Big 12. Clemson and FSU are already recruiting just as good or better than SEC teams, so they don't want to add two schools that could push down one of their traditional powerhouse teams.

It sure would be nice if the pressure to expand to 16 teams

would force the SEC to take in two more schools. I think the Big XII is headed that way in order to compete nationally with the SEC. If the SEC wants to be proactive perhaps they ###### at least a possible pair of teams (Clemson & FSU) before the Big XII gets their hands on the 'Noles.

two, they would go for VT and a North Carolina school. When you say before the Big12 gets their hands on the Noles, are you thinking they'd take FSU and not us?

I still think FSU is the target- the second team is a toss

up in my mind. Clemson would be my hope because an ACC minus FSU and someone else would be slim.

I think FSU and Clemson are a package deal, either we both go to the big12 or the sec together.

four 16 team leagues then break into eight 8 team conferences and shape it like the NFL. It's not like the NFL's product is broken right now.
I for one and thankful for the end of bowl games. I haven't enjoyed them in years.
