SEC & Greg Sankey Open to Expansion, Despite Recent Additions of Oklahoma & Texas?

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has indicated that expansion of the conference is not off the table, despite the recent addition of Oklahoma and Texas. 

Sankey recently said that his responsibility is to ensure that the conference operates well and builds upon its strengths, but he must also be attentive to what is happening around him. While there is no immediate need for expansion, Sankey is certainly aware of the weakened position of the ACC and the potential for its schools to threaten their current grant of rights, which could lead to the SEC considering expansion to maintain its strength. 

I would imagine the SEC has had its eyes on schools such as North Carolina & Virginia for their academic reputation, state size, and valuable brands.  

While the current SEC schools may not be interested in bringing in schools in states where there's already a presence, things can change. If the Big Ten starts talking with schools like Clemson, Florida State, and Miami, Sankey & the SEC will have determine what it would mean to have the Big Ten establish a presence in the current SEC footprint.

The SEC prefers to not be the center of any instability. While there is a lot of speculation about what might happen in the western part of the country’s college athletic conferences (Big 12 & Pac 12), that does not seem to have a direct impact on the SEC. For now, the SEC's focus is on being as effective and strong as possible with its move to 16 teams, but Sankey is open to expansion if it's in the best interests of the conference.
