You realize the SEC has recently added teams from other conferences, right? Also, they're going to be adding Texas and Oklahoma in the next few years. But, yeah, please talk about the stability of the conference. The ACC shits on the SEC when it comes to basketball. Even in one of our "down years", we get 3 times as many teams in the Sweet 16 as the SEC. It might "mean more" in the SEC but the ACC actually does more.
Dr. do you take me for a fool?
The ACC is 2 decades younger than the SEC. The ACC adds and subtracts teams all the time. Hell, half the time I don’t know which school is ACC or not. In football the ACC adds Notre Dame in basketball but Notre Dame is not about to share football revenue with the ACC, so they duck on the football side and the wimpy ACC still goes along with adding Notre Dame to the basketball conference. Talking about big pussies.
The SEC started with 13 teams in 1932: Alabama, Auburn (then Alabama Polytechnic Institute), Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi, Mississippi State (then Mississippi A&M), Sewanee, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. We don’t add teams for basketball without the football like the ACC does.
The ACC was not formed until 1953. If you are not too good in math that means the SEC was already 21 years old and had a few national championships before the ACC was created.
All the teams listed above are still in the SEC except for Georgia Tech, Sewanee and Tulane which leaves 10.
The SEC added South Carolina and Arkansas in 1991 then Missouri and Texas A&M in 2012.
Sometime in the near future Oklahoma and Texas will be added if the other conferences don’t come up with a scheme to fvck it up either legally, financially or through the NCAA.
Personally, I could care less if Oklahoma and Texas are added as I don’t see the big benefits to the SEC. But it is a big deal in making the SEC the predominate football conference (which they already are) and we all know where the money comes from.
The ACC has little football money compared to the SEC and B1G and that is what keeps their fan’s britches on fire most of the time because ACC football is a minor sport. They have to invent stories about their poweress in basketball.
