- new TV markets, should bring something new to the table
- since we are the SOUTHeastern conference, should be a geographical fit, preferably contiguous to current footprint
- doesn't cannibalize existing team strengths
- solid academic profile
- comprehensive sports programs with good history
- no schools smaller than current members, public schools preferred, "regional" not really an option
Virginia/Virginia Tech and UNC/NC State fit all those criteria
Might work:

North Carolina -OR- NC State
Yes

Virginia -OR- Virginia Tech
Yes

Maryland
No, just left for the Big Ten

Texas - OR - Baylor -OR- Houston - OR- TCU
No to all four for different reasons.
Texas cannot play by rules they don't set. That's been proven multiple times across multiple conferences. They would NEVER subordinate themselves to Birmingham. Not to mention the leash ESPN has them on.
Baylor and TCU are small private schools.
Houston is a commuter school at best and isn't even in the top 200 of USNWR

As much as hate to say it. With the GOR, I think the only way we get into VA and NC is by adding ECU and ODU(please no).
