Arizona, Arizona State, Calford, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Tulane, Vanderbilt, FSU, Florida, Miami, Georgia Tech, UNC, Virginia, Pittsburgh and maybe Buffalo and Stony Brook in the future?

ESPN may not have the money to upped the SEC, but Fox may upped the rights for the Big 10 where the money is hard to ignore for SEC schools to not bite.

I think there's something to this. I've always thought certain border SEC schools - Kentucky and Missouri specifically - are vulnerable to B1G poaching. But the B1G could definitely have its sights set on bigger fish in the heart of SEC territory.

As others have noted, we don't know yet exactly what the B1G and SEC payouts will be starting next year. But if the B1G gap is big, it might be tempting to some SEC schools.

I am still not 100% convinced that the IMO poor deals the SEC signed back in 2008 won't end up costing them in that department. We'll see.

Lol...The B1G doesnt want Kentucky and Missouri. They just added Oregon and Washington at reduced rates and turned down Cal and Stanford.

The B1G will wait for the ACC to implode. If they have to wait along time, they can always just add Kansas, Colorado, Utah or Arizona pretty much whenever they want to.
