SEC and Big Ten eye expansion amid legislative discussions

The SEC and Big Ten are considering potential expansion following a proposal within the Protect College Sports Act. This bill would allow the Big Ten to add one school and the SEC to add three. If adopted, teams moving conferences could face a five-year independent status. Key schools like North Carolina, Duke, Miami, and Florida State are mentioned as likely candidates for independent survival and future negotiations with these power conferences. The outcome of these discussions could significantly impact conference dynamics and future media rights deals.
