Ok don't believe the hype. The SEC is not stopping at 14 teams, no way, no how. They are going to get to 16, the question is just when. Most insiders believe within the next two years and/or when they kick off the SEC network. My following "scenarios" are the latest relating to the SEC conference expansion. Rest assured, as has been stated on this board for the past month, RU is definitely in play here - here's how:

3) In a New York Minute (Rutgers): The scenario which would go down as the most innovative and bold conference move to date. Could the SEC really head North to welcome New York City and its attractive television market? You bet it could. Mike Slive is not afraid to go outside the norm. With the pending SEC network, a dip into the Big Apple and surrounding area could monopolize the whole East Coast and Southern Region of college football - from Lady Liberty all the way down to Houston's Gulf Coast. Combining RU with another strong school could make the SEC into an NFL-type cash machine and leave the B1G and the ACC in the dust. The question is, will the ACC and B1G beat them to it by offering RU? UConn surely gets left out in this scenario.
Outcome: Quite possible if the Boomer Sooner scenario doesn't play out and if the anticipated numbers are confirmed for the pending SEC network. It is more realistic then people are led to believe if RU is combined with another school.
Even the other Rutgers fans are bashing this guy...
