    I was referring to just one article. IF the SBC goes to 14 teams, then yes, they may be atop the list and that is what Vannini is saying. I've seen others say the same thing. I don't know, Vannini doesn't know, no one here knows that 14 teams is where the SBC wants to be.

    Seems like the consensus is add Marshall in the East & add Southern Miss in the West. Seems like all of us like this. 14 teams is the wild west on any consensus.

    IMHO, if we go to 14, it will be because the rumors were true. There was going to be a jailbreak on our eastern side.

    We would be down to Texas State, UL, ULM, stAte, South Al, Troy, Georgia Southern. I guess you tell UTA and LR to stay.

    Only possible adds would be UTEP, NMSU, Liberty, maybe FIU, Sam Houston, Jax State, Missouri State, etc....

    Ideally would've added UTSA plus 1 East team, but they've sewn their oats in CUSA 4.0...I mean AAC.

    For a G5 conference I do not see how 14 teams is a winning number. Our football TV revenue is thin already with a 10 team conference. Adding two programs with a strong fan base and general college college football fan recognition I'd be fine with, but adding four teams? ODU has had one winning season since 2014 (when they joined C-USA). They are 32-48 as a program at the FBS level. I do not see them bringing TV revenue or adding CFP revenue to the SBC.

    Just read the thread on BBB. I can't decide what I want to happen more 1) Tech get left to rot in the smoldering remains of C-USA or 2) LSU to offer BN the job and get rejected.

    It's a tight battle.

    The eastern schools are not concerned with TV or CFP revenue right now. They will create their East Coast Conference, hook or crook.

    Yeah, add USM and Marshall now. Shoot, do what it takes to get them in SBC July 2022. As for going past 12 members, its got to be financially beneficial. Let's say the media monies per member are projected the same whether you go to 14 or 16 members but it adds more travel expense to send Olympic sports. And I'm not sure about Old Dominion's commitment to football. Considering they didn't even try to play football last year, that's not a good culture fit regardless of their big budgets. SBC should look elsewhere if going past 12 members is a must.

    Denial running deep over at BBB.
