even if a school left why would 2 others go? there would just be a team added from another conference. I would like to see Georgia Tech back in the SEC. I mean we hold our championship game in their hometown. They were a long time SEC school anyways. Also their stadium was named after a former player here (Bobby Dod anyone)They have a genuine rivalry with UGA anyways so might as well make it a game that counts. Their football is good and basketball would certainly be a lift to the SEC. Also much like Vanderbilt their academics would be a shot in the arm to this league.

There is no way Arky would leave the SEC, the SEC just got richer with the new tv deal. The SEC is the penthouse conf and nobody will leave.

That is what exactly came to my mind when reading this. Besides it won't happen cuz Chris Lowe didn't predict it for the next decade :)

It looks like Missouri will, in the next year or so, be invited and agree to join the Big 10. This leaves an opening for Arkansas to rejoin the Big 12, which they have been wanting to do for years. This leaves the SEC with only eleven members and unable to have the very profitable SEC Championship game.

After the next football season, which will regretably be a losing one for Tennessee, the University will have two choices: 1) Stay in a conference where several schools (most notably Auburn, Alabama and LSU) are buying top recruits right and left, and be mediocre for years or 2) take their stellar basketball program to the ACC, which geographically makes more sense. I have no doubt that the Atlantic Coast Conference would welcome them with open arms, especially if UK also joined.

I have never posted on Volnation, but have been checking the site daily for the last several months. I felt i needed to reply because this is by far one of the most ridiculous things I have read on here. I will leave it to the words of the great Chad Ochocinco about the Vols going to the ACC

There was an article up here in Madison about 2 months ago that the big Ten is looking at ND and if they turn them down, they would like a presence in the New York market and there looking at rutgers

ND will never join the big ten,,,they have their own contract with NBC.... and they know that they can go through a season with TWO losses and still have a shot..wherefore if they were in a conference .....with 2 losses they would be done

Let me see, football is the biggest money sport in college athletics. The sec is the most powerful football conference in America, the new sec media deal that kicked in this year is insanely rich and guarantees huge media exposure for all sec schools. Beginning this year each school gets approx 15 million a year ffrom the conference, just from the media deal alone. All of tenn traditional rivals are in the sec.

Now, why on earth, would any school, but especially tenn leave? Yes the football program sucks right now because we we stayed loyal too long to a great coach who couldn't get the program turned around, but we have tradition, facilities, money(a lot of which comes from being in the sec). It will be painful and take at least three years, but it will turn around.

Leave for the acc for basketball? I say this truthfully that is one of the most worst ideas of all time. I mean legendary. If there was a hall of fame for bad ideas, that one would be a shoe in first ballot lock. Not sure why I just wasted all that time responding to this....

These topics make me sick. These are the type of people that posted so much BS last week that we hired 1,287 coaches in 48 hours.

Uh, does CHARTER MEMBER mean anything to you?
UT will never leave the SEC. No way in hell.

IF:
Mizzou ---> Big10
and
Arkansas ---> Big12

THEN:
The SEC picks up a program on the rise.
Houston was pretty good this year (and last year) with Keenam throwing the ball around.
Maybe Larry Porter pulls a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) turn-around with Memphis.
MTSU would be a fun addition.

But your reasoning is flawed.
1- As pointed out by someone earlier, WHO WOULD WANT TO LEAVE THE SEC?
2-If both UTK and Kentucky leave, as well as Arky, there would still be only nine teams in the conference. How would that make for a more lucrative SECCG?
3- As much as I love Pearly B and the basketball program, it's second-place to football. Always will be. ALWAYS. Yeah, we could compete in the ACC in basketball, but we ARE NOT a basketball school. Football. Checkerboard. 108,000 screaming Volunteers. Tradition. Football is always number one here at UT.
4- No, it doesn't "geographically" make sense. ACC = Atlantic Coastal Conference. Last I checked, which, tell me if I'm wrong, Tennessee and Kentucky are land-locked.

Enough reasoning for you?
