Broyles: ACC may look for an SEC team next

By
FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS - Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles says he hasn&#39;t heard any rumblings but wouldn&#39;t be surprised if the Atlantic Coast Conference tries to gain its next member by tapping the Southeastern Conference. <br> <br> Broyles led Arkansas out of the Southwest Conference and into the SEC in the early 1990s, and he was blamed by many for the spurring the dissolution of the Southwest Conference. <br> <br> Miami has accepted the ACC&#39;s invitation to leave the Big East, and Virginia Tech is also bolting. The ACC now needs a 12th team to be qualified to hold a league championship game. <br> <br> ``I think they&#39;ll go get another team,&#39;&#39; Broyles told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. ``I&#39;d say the ACC will try and recruit somebody from the SEC. Maybe Florida, Kentucky, or South Carolina. I wouldn&#39;t be surprised at all if the ACC went after one of our schools.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Broyles said officials within the SEC need to be prepared to fend off the ACC. <br> <br> ``It hasn&#39;t been talked about yet, but I&#39;m sure the presidents will talk about it when they meet again and try to have a game plan if anything happens,&#39;&#39; Broyles said. ``I think all conferences today had better have an emergency plan ready.&#39;&#39;
