Kirby Smart: SEC may secede from NCAA

[JDCrimson]

A Big10 Expansion to 32 teams would probably look like...

Boston College
Syracuse
Pittsburgh
West Virginia
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Colorado
Utah
BYU
Washington State
Oregon State
California
Stanford
Arizona
Arizona State

I expect Notre Dame would remain independent.

65 teams who are in the top revenue generating programs. Rivalries restored.

12 game schedule, 9 conference games, 3 NCAA group of 5 games. 16 game inter-conference playoff btw SEC and Big10.

That's a good way to kill off the SEC.

Sankey has been outmaneuvered by the Big Ten at almost every step of the way during his tenure as SEC commissioner. They hold the power right now and without the Big Ten breaking away as well, this will not work.

This. Sankey has been a nearly unmitigated disaster!

I didn’t read the article, but the SEC probably should’ve broken away 5–8 years ago and created a super conference when they still had leverage. Threatening to break away from the NCAA now just feels like an attempt to put a bandage on an already broken system.

They should have listened when Coach Bryant proposed the CFA

Wow. Pretty strong comments if ya ask me. Though personally I'm not sure if the SEC honestly is a strong enough national brand of a conference to be able to go it alone without the NCAA. But good for discussing

With expansion argument brewing, Smart hints at SEC secession

Conversations around conference expansion have dominated the college football spring meetings thus far, and Kirby Smart's comments on Tuesday about the SEC essentially seceding if an agreement can't be reached have created plenty of questions.

The SEC can't do it alone. If the "New" SEC league puts new NIL rules/limits then they will not be able to compete in recruiting with a $$$ limitless league that exists right now. It's all about the Benjamins!

This. Sankey has been a nearly an unmitigated disaster! (FIFY)

Very true. From the TV deals to the 9 game schedule. He needs to be replaced, then the SEC needs to revert to the 8 game schedule.
