[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 997320, member: 1682"] Is it possible that an SEC school leaves the SEC and goes to the Big 10. SEC AAU schools presently are FL, MO, TX, TX A&M and Vandy. I have thought for a while now that it was definitely a future possibility, but just heard it mentioned in a sort of passing comment by a talking head who talks to a lot of people all the time. What happens if FL pulls out and goes to the Big 10, ESPN needs a school from FL drastically at that point. FSU? UCF? Both? Miami (now AAU) will go to the Big 10 over SEC. ESPN is not going to give up the state of FL, everybody wants that. They are not going to let their SEC get that damaged, they will give up ACC to keep SEC in good shape. Yes just speculation but what I'm learning about the desirability of being AAU in Big 10 indicates to me it is more important than the money coming from being a Big 10 athletic program. I have for a while thought FL was a potential for the Big 10, but only down the line. Could FL be used to trigger the whole eastern realignment process? I'm convinced the whole eastern realignment gets triggered by something yet unknown, it will be about the TV money. In order to understand, it's the money and the real big money comes through being AAU in the Big 10, once I saw that then the picture became much, much clearer regarding the desirability ( by school administrators ) to be in the Big 10 over any other conference. UFL school administration understands, just as GT administration understands. I speculate things will happen this year towards realignment, don't know what but the season is over and it's that time again IMO. [/QUOTE]
