Eventually, whether it’s in 2025 or before, Texas and Oklahoma are going to join the SEC.

Naturally, that has sparked plenty of debate as to how the new 16-team SEC should structure divisions moving forward.

This week, Ole Miss AD Keith Carter shared his thoughts, saying he hopes to see a system — whether via pods or divisions — where players can play every team in the league a couple of times over the course of their careers (via 247Sports):

“We’ve had some 30,000 feet conversations on it,” Carter said. “There are a lot of options. I think there are some really intriguing matchups. Obviously, you want to make sure that you keep some of those traditional rivalries going…One of the things I’ve talked about with a lot of people was, if you’re a student-athlete at Ole Miss and with the way the schedule is set up now with the way we play the Eastern Division teams, you may go your whole four years without playing a Tennessee or Georgia or Florida. And I just don’t think that’s healthy. I think if you come to an institution you should be playing those other institutions, at least a couple of times during your time. I hope as we go through the new scheduling model we can figure that out. Whether it’s a pod system or just a different scheduling system. It really does become more of a true conference schedule when you’re seeing these teams. Your teams or traditional rivals, you will see more often, but these other teams you’ll see at least every other year.”

We’ll see what happens moving forward, but there are probably still a lot of conversations to be had around the league before anything is made official.
