you totally missed it.

what would money or tv markets have to do with the first 2 years? these both encompass the addition of both teams regardless of the number of years.

not being an old school sec fan I can't comment, but as a 90's SEC fan I'd say both teams are adequate.

I am talking long term and the way the SEC network will work. ESPN will demand different rates depending on whether it is "in market" or "out of market." ESPN will get in market rates for both Texas and Missouri now. That will generate a lot of money for all schools - noticeably more. There are also more compelling matchups which generate ratings. Long term win.

It is all about geographic population and having compelling programming that cable subscribers demand in that area. It doesn't work unless you have both. The SEC and B1G are the huge winners in this new world. The expansion was close to perfect.
