Sankey: SEC won't panic over expansion race

ATLANTA — The Southeastern Conference is a leading player in the dramatic changes to the national football landscape.

New Louisiana State coach Brian Kelly likens them to a game of musical chairs and warns there's not enough chairs for every school.

"That's the current state of college football," Kelly said Monday at SEC media days, a high-pressure game to find a desired conference.

The SEC will become a 16-team conference in 2025 with the additions of Texas and Oklahoma. The Big Ten recently countered by voting to add Southern California and UCLA as conference members beginning in 2024.
