I keep hearing the SEC wants UVA and UNC... if we get left behind, it's my 13th reason.

I don't see either conference expanding anytime soon, although I think UVA is far more likely to go to the Big 10

We’ll be in a “leftovers” conference with NC State, Pitt, and Big 12 schools is my guess.

As fun as being in the SEC would be for the matchups, the Big 12 would make more sense competitively for football at least. Really wish football would do its own thing conference wise and all other sports (who have to travel significantly more each year) stick to more regionally based conferences. Sending our swim team out to arizona each year makes no sense
