The SEC is a college football super conference.

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Commissioner Greg Sankey was smooth in his assessment of his 16-team league during Monday’s address at SEC Media Days but there is movement afoot.

“I’m not a recruiter,” he said. “My job is to make sure we meet a standard of excellence that we have for ourselves on a daily basis. That attracts interest. It’s done with the two universities that we’ve added this year. They’re not the only phone calls I’ve ever had but I’m not involved in recruitment.”

Adding Texas and Oklahoma was the biggest boss move in league history but to assume this league is staying pat for the next 10 years would be cray talk, especially when there are other two bluebloods out who make financial and geographical sense when it comes to further expansion.

Clemson and Florida State are suing the Atlantic Coast Conference in an attempt to break a grant of rights contract and avoid potentially exorbitant exit fees if they exited the league before their agreement expires in 2036. A story in The Athletic reported Florida State lawyers estimated that paying the exit fee and forfeiting its grant of rights to the conference would cost the school $572 million.

In short, they want out because there is bigger money elsewhere, notably under the new College Football Playoff format where the SEC and the Big Ten are splitting 58% of the revenue generated while ACC and Big 12 would split 32 %.

Sankey is playing it cool though anyone with a brain knows that athletic departments that want to secure their financial would walk to the SEC or the Big Ten. Both schools in the SEC make the most geographical sense though  the Big 12 could also be interested in adding to a conference that’s lacking in football powerhouses these days.

“As I understand, the issue is agreements have been signed and decisions have been made among a conference and the question is, are they going to be honored as they were established,” Sankey said. And apparently that’s for a court to decide now.”

Yes, agreements similar to the one Texas and Oklahoma made with the Big 12 nearly 30 years ago before slyly tipping out the back door for a bigger bag.

Texas and Oklahoma have already brought more star power to the SEC. College football blue bloods like Clemson and Florida would put the league into another stratosphere altogether.

The three most influential organizations in college football are the SEC, the Big Ten and ESPN/ABC/Disney. Never overlook the power of Sankey, Big Ten commish Tony Petitti and The Mouse, whose oversized fingerprints have been all over the sport since expansion became the quickest avenue to printing more greenbacks.

“We’re the Southeastern Conference,” Sankey said, a not so subtle reminder to the rest of college football the most powerful conference is in the domination business . “We’re the one conference at this level whose name actually means something.“

So will they stop at 16 teams?

No way.
