Yes, I know there were no 13 and 14 members back in 1990


However, your post got me thinking if TAMU would have said yes back in 1990, then would Kramer have gone back the FSU to see if it wanted to be the 12th member? If FSU would have declined the invite a second time, then would Kramer have looked for another potential "East" member or still invite Arkansas? The 13th and 14th member question came about based on the assumption that Arkansas and TAMU (instead of South Carolina) agreed to join the SEC. If the SEC decided to remain at 12 members, then I am not sure there would be a clean way to divide up East-West.

East: UF, UGA, Kentucky(?), Tennessee(?), Vandy(?), who would be #6?

West: TAMU, Ark, LSU, Ole Miss, Miss St, who would be #6

potential unknowns: 'Bama and Auburn

I am not sure North-South would have made things any cleaner. However, if the SEC had decided back in 1990 to expand to 14 members, then it could have placed both AL schools in either the East or West and add 2 schools to the other division. If the SEC had decided to place the 2 AL schools in the West, then would the SEC have gone back to FSU for a potentially third time? Could Miami, VT, ECU(?), NC State, or WVU be potential candidates for the 13th and/or 14th spot? If the SEC decided to place the AL schools in the East, then could the SEC have gone back to Texas a second time? Would the SEC have pursued OU for 1 of the 2 spots? If OU wasn't interested, then would the SEC have been open to adding Okla State? Mizzou?

I realize the questions are speculative, but I am curious to know your insight/opinion on them.
