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.
