With Texas and Oklahoma, both currently Big 12 programs, earlier this week submitting formal requests for invitations to become members of the Southeastern Conference in 2025, questions naturally arose if there will be any more shakeups among Power Five conference.
While he didn’t completely shut down the possibility of the Atlantic Coast Conference expanding, Miami Hurricanes athletic director Blake James said conversations about adding more members to the conference haven’t happened.
The ACC has 15 members and hasn’t added a program since 2014, when Louisville joined the conference.
“It’s natural, obviously when you have that out there, but there hasn’t been any specific talks about any specific schools or anything like that,” James told 560-AM on Thursday morning, saying he was “a little shocked, probably in disbelief” about the expected departures of Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12 for the SEC.
