Every single team not in the SEC needs to push for expansion... now.

Why? A lot of teams don't provide enough value. Then you are just pushing numbers for the sake of numbers

Like I said, this was the whole point. SEC doesn't want to spread the wealth.

And how many CBers have been spouting off that A5/P5 doesn't matter any more?

True, but they don't care about parity. At all. They are a definite threat to parity in all CFB.

They crown a champion every year. How is that not working?

12 min. 16 is better. Expand it to create more parity. It has worked for hoop. CFB needs a fix.

If you expand it to 12, then SEC will get the auto bid plus 4...

They have no leverage to push back. The other conferences need the SEC at least

Go to 16, limit to 5 conference max. I can live with it.

Isn't the SEC the conference that wanted 12?

Yep, the dude was on the committee that came up with 12 teams. He's just saying

This is all positive to me. He wants the playoff expansion.

What reading of those tweets suggests he wants playoff expansion?

In 5-7 years, the competition would be better as well. LEss consolidation with more teams having a chance.
