Now we know why SEC commissioner Greg Sankey wants to stop “giving away” NCAA bids to automatic qualifiers from smaller conferences.

From the article:

@TopFrog - I think Big 12 gets the best of the rest from the ACC, after the top 4 leave for SEC and/or Big. What’s left of ACC will be AAC+ imo.
I think Oregon St and Wazzu become Mtn West+ (though it’ll be called Pac whatever.)

Click to expand...
Tough for the ACC to go to 18 if the other conferences take their schools...
