Nevertheless, I think the SEC goes for a Basketball power during the next round of expansion since Mizzou failed to do that one thing they were asked to do when they joined
Further expansion won't be about football or basketball "powers"...it will be strictly market driven
The SEC already has the product, we don't need to improve that, not even in bball....what the SEC needs is more market penetration...more $$$$ per team.
When you eliminate all ACC schools and Big XII schools, you're left with East Carolina and Cincinnati...or some odd mix of New Mexico and Colorado State. Either that, or we wait out the Big XII land grant crap (5 years on that) and go after either OU and Okie State, or Kansas and K-State....neither which are sure bets to join...

I dont know why you are eliminating ACC schools. Their TV rights deal isnt going to stop anyone who wants to leave.

Considering the ACC GOR's they would be our best option to get into NC. As I have said in othe threads. If we want 16(NC VA) bad enough we have to add ECU and Old Dominion(despite hating them almost as much as VA Tech) ODU is in VA's recruiting hotbed. Moving up to 1-a and in only a few years of playing made the playoffs last year.

I think the SEC in Cincinnati, OHIO would make Delaney and Gee's butt eternally itch and would likely bring about the return of Urban's, "heart problems"
Also, UConn is still dangling aimelessly. SEC cash might be what they need to revitalize their athletic programs
