WHOA: SEC is THREATENING to Leave NCAA--Expansion Move Would be REQUIRED to Leave Big 12/ACC/Big 10

from Locked On College Football · host Locked On Podcast Network

The biggest story coming out of SEC Media Days has been the discussion regarding the SEC potentially breaking away from the NCAA. Could they really have their own sport separate from the Big 12, ACC, and Big 10? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'The Portal' host Brian Smith discuss programs that have a strong outlook in the next 5 years. Does Alabama make the top 10 programs with a 5-year outlook right now? Indiana was one of the most unlikely national champions of all time in 2025, and they won't sneak up on anyone in 2026. Spencer and 'Locked On Hoosiers' host Jacob Goins pick Indiana's 2026 record with Josh Hoover at QB.
