SEC Focuses on Stability Amid Expansion Speculation

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey reiterated that the conference is currently focused on its 16 members, following the recent addition of Texas and Oklahoma. Despite rampant speculation about further expansion, particularly regarding ACC schools Florida State and Clemson, Sankey emphasized that he is not recruiting additional members and the conference is content with its current size. Sankey addressed these points multiple times during the SEC Media Days, amidst ongoing lawsuits involving ACC schools challenging their media rights agreements. The commissioner noted that while he pays attention to developments, he does not engage in recruiting activities or litigation related to expansion. The SEC prides itself on regional stability, contrasting with the broader trend of conference realignment across college sports.
