For the SEC, it's all about TV market money.

Kansas only has one TV market in the top100, so I doubt the SEC goes there.

If the SEC expands, I think it will be to Virginia and North Carolina to pick up their TV markets.

Here's a list of top 100 TV markets broken down by existing SEC markets, the one top 100 Kansas market, and the top 100 markets in Virginia and North Carolina. BIG difference in eyeballs between them.

Also, if I accidentally left out any top 100 markets, please add them in the replies.
