But he’s got to know that the 14 team conference is horrendous on scheduling. I’ve yet to hear anybody praise a 14 team conference & the 2@3 X 2@4 pod scheduling idea floating around the net ruins several historied football rivalries because it wouldn’t work in the SEC.
Either he’s got a lot of teams lined up or 2 power players……but giving us at least a 15th team would greatly relieve some headaches.

I think he’s not saying anything until the Maryland case is resolved. So he’s continuing with his strong poker face until he shows Royal Flush.

16 will happen, but probably not this year. Actually 18 or 20 might happen. I really thought Slive would have added before the next TV deal, but I guess with the SEC network money will be added if you add new states. I’m still hoping on carolina/virginia schools. I just think when it’s all over we end up with V.Tech and FSU. Virginia and probably UNC go to B1G and ACC has a hard time sticking around. I just wonder who makes the first move. My guess is Slive will let Delany go first becuase SEC has more possible options since B1G expects to take only AAU school. I think Slive is pushing for AAU schools, but doesn’t have to be. B1G really should take FSU/GTech combo and then add UNC/Virginia.
