Rumor: SEC looking to add North Carolina, Virginia, Clemson, Virginia

Could this be the move that brings Notre Dame and Miami to the Big Ten?

You know, a classic Big Ten football game.
SI

I don’t really have a ton to add to this, and who knows—this tweet could be completely full of shit. BUT!

A note: I don’t know or care who this is—he’s got a blue check, that’s close enough. Let’s not pretend that a free and unpaid sports blog is approaching anything like “journalistic integrity”. It’s another dumb and fun rumor at this point, and we’ll take it more seriously when it merits more seriousness.

If North Carolina, Florida State, Clemson, and Virginia—which, the last one...why?—made their way to the SEC, bringing the Confederate Athletic Conference to 20, it would surely begin moves for the Big Ten, right?

So what do you do, gang?

Here’s a place to talk about it today. We also have some chatter on the history of the Big Ten versus USC and UCLA coming down the pike later today.

This is all so deeply, deeply stupid.
