Miami to the SEC?

It could happen says SEC commishioner & ESPN!

Reported on todays ESPN College Football Live show, if the Big 10 raids the big east for

its own expansion, then the SEC will not be left in the dust. As the SEC would want to remain the supreme

conference in college football. Sources say the SEC would raid the ACC for The University of Miami

and Florida State. Courting the too florida schools for a major florida presense in the SEC. And travel

expenses would not be great for all other sports.

Since Miami left the Big East for The ACC they have had nothing but bad karma/luck etc. Also

this would have a very positive impact on recruiting for the U. Son come play for the U in the SEC...LOCK IT UP!!

Although Coach Shannon would need to improve his head coaching philosphy and game management alot from

where it is now to compete with Saban, Meyer, and the rest of the good ole boys in the SEC.

This could also cause a major change in the college football post season as the Big East would prob loose

its BCS bid( no matter how much pull there commishioner has) and maybe be the final nail in the coffin of the dreaded BCS when the contracts up.

couldn't find the video of espn today, but here is SEC commishioner has already made of few public statements about there plans if the Big Ten expands to a super conference.

So the balls in the Big Ten courts now, if they raid the Big East. The U could be joining the SEC...we can only hope!!!

Neither Miami nor FSU will go to the SEC.

This is all about money. The SEC already has their presence in the Florida market. Look for them to try to get into the Virginia/ West Virginia market.

Report: SEC meets with CBS regarding expansion
Posted by John Taylor on May 22, 2010 11:16 AM ET
Of all of the fallout that could come with the Big Ten expanding, perhaps the most intriguing would be whether or not the SEC would be forced to make a move to counter the only conference that can compete with them financially.

Rumors have abounded that, if the Big Ten were to go to 16 teams, the SEC would follow in kind. Texas, Texas A&M, Miami, Florida State, Georgia Tech and Clemson have all been mentioned as possibilities for an expanded SEC.

Now comes a report from a Knoxville radio station — uh-oh, another radio report — that the conference is being very preemptive when it comes to the expansion issue.

By way of MrSEC.com, Jimmy Hyams of WNML-AM 990 reports that, per a source close to CBS, commissioner Mike Slive has met with network officials regarding the SEC’s potential plans for expansion. Reportedly, Slive told the executives that their goal is to match the Big Ten team for team if they move to 16.

In such a case, Hyams reports, Texas, Texas A&M, Florida State and Clemson would be their targets. If the first two could not be had, the two Texas schools would be replaced by Georgia Tech and Miami.

Very predictably, the SEC has denied that such a meeting took place.

“[There] was never any meeting nor have their been any discussions between CBS and SEC Commissioner Mike Slive about expansion,” the conference stated in an email response to the radio report.

Whether or not the report is true is debatable — very debatable given the conference’s response — but there should be little doubt that Slive & Company are not just sitting on their hands awaiting the Big Ten’s move. You don’t get to be the preeminent football conference in the country by being caught with your pants around your ankles.
