Grumblings here in the panhandle is that FSU is B1G boundā¦I haven't heard anything on realignment and NC State but if they wanted a package deal I'd definitely take UNC, NC State and Duke. The Basketball acumen alone would be worth it. Along with the eyeballs and brands. Other than that, I'd love to grab Clemson and FSU though I'm not sure if the SEC is wanting to expand that much during this whole thing.
Haha, basketball season with those two and Kentucky in the same room would be hard to breathe with all those hot air blowersGah, the pretentiousness that comes with North Carolina and Duke wouldn't be worth it to me.

In my opinion, the SEC's lack of interest in the addition to Duke was only compounded by 2020.the SEC had very little interest in Duke.
I would not recommend asking, "does this remind you of the time Jimbo was in Tallahassee?"I will see someone in the know Monday (at a funeral) Iāll try to broach the subject afterwards, if I canā¦

If given the choice I'd send both Duke and Notre Dame to the Big East. Duke, to me, is just another UCONN with a slight southern drawl.
On the opposite end of the spectrum from A&M?Duke doesn't bother me like most, but those two don't mesh with the culture in the SEC. We've all got egos, but I don't think any of us talk down about others with our pinky's up in the air.

It would be a boon for a few sports: women's soccer would take a HUGE boost.
I'd rather go to FSU for a football game (scenery) and I'd rather go to a Duke/UNC basketball game.
From a fan's standpoint (MINE) anything that would improve the coverage of the spring sporting programs? Add those schools.
Bucket List addition:Ha, yeah, A&M. Bunch of nut balls there.
You're 100% right that Duke and North Carolina could bring some depth and new visibility to different areas for the SEC with soccer, lacrosse, field hockey and such. Academically we would enjoy having them as well. Hoity toitiness, no thanks.
