A broadcast from MrSEC.com, Jimmy Hyams of WNML-AM 990 reports that, per a source close to CBS, commissioner Mike Slive has met with network officials regarding the SEC's potential plans for expansion. Reportedly, Slive told the executives that their goal is to match the Big Ten team for team if they move to 16.
In such a case, Hyams reports, Texas, Texas A&M, Florida State and Clemson would be their targets. If the first two could not be had, the two Texas schools would be replaced by Georgia Tech and Miami.
The SEC has denied that such a meeting took place.
"There was never any meeting nor have their been any discussions between CBS and SEC Commissioner Mike Slive about expansion," the conference stated in an email response to the radio report.
Whether or not the report is true is debatable , very debatable given the conference's response, but there should be little doubt that Slive & Company are not just sitting on their hands awaiting the Big Ten's move.
