Last summer we saw the SEC throw the first punch in college football expansion when they brought the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns into the fold. That move won’t become official until 2025 at the latest.
One year later the Big Ten went after the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins. With the announcement of that move, both the Big Ten and SEC sit at 14 current members and two more future members to join in 2024 or beyond.
Is conference expansion going to end there? Likely not.
Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams made their case for eight such teams should the SEC look to add more schools to the conference.
