The SEC is in the power position to create whatever league it wants to create. Why let the other conferences decide to bring dead weight to a 64-team party (such as WSU, Oregon State, Iowa State, Purdue, the lesser ACC programs)?
If the SEC wants, it can select all teams it wants to invite to its party, then leave the NCAA.
Take all the cash generators: Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Oregon, Michigan, Notre Dame, Clemson, plus 10 or 15 more.
Then the SEC is 30 to 45 teams — only the teams that the SEC programs want to include.
Then the SEC is in full control and can leave the NCAA or just completely control it. Every school on the outside is completely powerless individually and as a group to do anything about it.
Is this what they're doing?
