Randy Levine says SEC and Big Ten not planning conference expansion

Randy Levine, vice-chair of Donald Trump's Saving College Sports roundtable, stated that the SEC and Big Ten have no intentions to expand their memberships. This assertion comes amid lobbying from schools like Florida State and Miami that seek to remove restrictions from the Protect College Sports Act. Despite modifications to the bill, which would allow conferences to grow to 20 members and reduce independent membership terms, these schools remain dissatisfied. Levine remarked that even if legislative changes occur, the two wealthiest conferences will not extend invitations to additional programs. Ongoing lobbying efforts have now shifted to House representatives, leading to uncertainty about the bill's passage due to potential opposition.
