Florida

Georgia

LSU

South Carolina

 

Unpaid

 

Kentucky

Ole Miss

Texas State

 

Obviously you'd have to restructure the divisions for basketball because of Coach Cal, but it could work.

 

you're being very generous to kentucky and tennessee here.

 

i think paid would have like 10-12 teams and unpaid would be vandy and maybe one or two others.

It's been rumored for long enough that I can't get worked up too much either way now that it's actually here. There does seem to be some support for having Mizzou play in the SEC East, which makes the whole situation a lot more palatable to me.

The East? WTF?

 

I guess it would create a weird situation since the easternmost SEC West teams are actually Alabama and Auburn, but they could just make that a protected rivalry, couldn't they?

 

Alabama has longstanding rivalries with both Tennessee and Auburn, so forcing Auburn to the East to accommodate Mizzou would kill off one of them as an annual game. Personally I like it because I think Mizzou's a better cultural fit playing the East schools regularly, plus it's currently the weaker of the two in football and would provide a lot of marquee basketball games. You could also just rename the divisions if the concept of Mizzou playing in an Eastern division is too much to bear.

Wrong word choice I guess, the point is that the harder SOS(Kentucky, Florida, Tenn, Vandy) is of greater benefit in basketball.

wow...the Big 12

The source said that Tulane would become a viable option for the Big 12 if it were to grab four schools to beef up the membership to 12

 

So someone at the Big 12 needs a hook up on a place to stay during Mardi Gras. Really no other reason to even talk to Tulane. [expletive] Tulsa could be a better option.
