SEC Expansion: Vanderbilt Insists On 13 Teams As Missouri Deliberates

Even though Vanderbilt Commodores basketball coach Kevin Stallings has said an even number of teams is best for the SEC, Vandy vice chancellor of athletics (oh they fancy huh) David Williams says the conference could stay at 13 for "years." That's contrary to Tennessee's AD, Georgia coach Mark Richt, South Carolina's president and several other southeastern dignitaries, but all right.

This is all pretty relevant because the University of Missouri's bigwigs are meeting rrrrright now to discuss matters of sport. Don't be surprised to learn the school has granted itself the power to consider conference realignment options, but such a result wouldn't necessarily be a sure sign Mizzou's heading Chick-fil-A-ward. I don't think.

Bully for Vandy for sticking to the company line even as other conference members acknowledge the move toward 14 teams, though.

It's probably because Vandy would rather

12 teams be better than them at football than 13.

Dear Vikings Offensive Line: Please don't let our QB (whomever it happens to be) get killed.

misleading headline is misleading

He’s not insisting on 13, he’s just saying he sees it staying at 13 for a few years. But you did get me to read this so I guess you win.

I was just going to post the same thing! And, they got us both to comment, too!

Slive must be happy to finally have someone in his fold towing the company line. I suspect he’s wanted to muzzle Hart the past week or so!

Regardless, we’ll know a lot more tonight than we do now. I think Missouri will end up in the SEC, but I’m speculating as much as anyone else at this point …
