The SEC could choose any of the other three schools in NC if they choose - less then 0 chance they would ever pick WF. If ACC breaks up WF will be lucky to be in the also ran conference since they add nothing.
I do not claim to be an official source, and I admit that anything I post should be taken as straight-up gossip. But my sources - one who works in the Vandy admin. - remember, they don't have an athletic department - and the head of a ND alumni association, who a month ago thought they were going to the ACC - both say the same things.
1. The Big ten is looking at adding two more schools. Va and VT is believed to be at the top of their wish list, but that's far from a done deal. They also have financial and academic resources that the SEC does not to give them first pick.
2. The SEC wants to add two more and wants into NC and Virginia.
3. FSU, Clemson, and possibly GT want out and to go to the SEC but are getting resistance from the SEC.
When the Big Ten takes its two, certain remaining football-centric schools are going to leave, probably for the big XII. When that happens the SEC will go to the remaing schools in NC and VA and tell them:
"The ACC as you know it is gone. We have two spots available and we want in these states. We are open minded as to membership - who is coming with us".
At that point WF has a chance. Now, Would I bet on them?
No.
