Think like a college professor and grade on 100 point test for potential SEC admission

Part I : Location, Location, Location (25% of your grade)
Q 1 Does your school have lineage in the SIAA or early SoCon (10 points possible)
Q 2 Does your school expand the footprint (10 points possible)
Q 3 Does your school lie east of the Great Continental Divide (2 points possible)
Q 4 Does your school lie south of the Ohio Ocean (2 points possible)
Q 5 Does your school reside inside a US state or protectorate? (1 point possible)

Part II : Show Me the Money! (25% of your grade)
Q 1 Does your school have a brand sport (10 points possible, but extra credit for multiple sports)
Q 2 Does your brand sport have a facility in the top 10% of said sport (3 points)
Q 3 Does your school have at least 500 million endowment (3 points possible)
Q 4 Does your school have a billon dollar endowment (3 points possible)
Q 5 Does your school do 250 million in research annually (3 points possible)
Q 6 Does your school do 500 million in research annually (3 points possible)

Part III : If you build it, will they come? (25% of your grade)
Q 1 Does your school have a passionate - and above average following (3 points possible)
Q 2 Can you fill 70,000 seats for football (3 points possible). 100,000 seats for football (+3 points possible)
Q 3 Can you fill 14,000 seats for M basketball (3 points possible). 21,000 seats (+3 points possible)
Q 4 Can you fill 6,000 seats for W basketball (2 points possible). 12,000 seats (+2 points possible)
Q 5 Can you fill 6,000 seats for baseball (2 points possible). 12,000 seats (+2 points possible)
Q 6 Are you a top 10 attendance leader in sport not already covered (2 points possible)

Part IV : What do you bring to the table? (25% of your grade)
Q 1 Are you #1 or #2 school in your state (6 points possible)
Q 2 Are you AAU member in good standing (6 points possible)
Q 3 Are you, or have you ever been, a Morrill Act school (6 points possible)
Q 4 Does your state produce any staple of southern cooking (6 points possible)
Q 5 Does your current college president know all the words to Free Bird (1 point possible)

Part V : Extra credit
In a few short sentences cover any other reason not previously identified that would enhance the SEC experience with your admission.

If you are already in, you have no need to take the test, you already passed

This is just for the B12 and ACC visitors who have been attracted to tRant lately think the SEC will expand and add them.

I was really hoping the SEC natives would add the extra credit questions for specific school that could be funny or informative.

The answer is Sewanee! Think Sewanee!!! And what a magnificent venue it would be for tailgating.

Of course they may need to expand that 5k stafium?????

Can we get a separate board for all these threads?

Would make sense but if we never got the Thunderdome Board, odds are good we will not.

that sure was a bunch of work to do just to reach the conclusion that we should kick out Mizzou

You obviously spent a lot of time on this, but you made things needlessly complicated. Let me show you how:

1) The entirety of your Part 1 could be reduced to one question: "Is your school located in a state that was officially a member of the CSA?"

2) Part 2 should be replaced with one question: "Does your school have a top-30 all-time football program?" We all know nothing else matters.

3) For Part 3, eliminate all but the first two questions. Again, nothing but football matters for the purposes of this discussion.

4) Part 4 could be reduced to one question: "Is your school located within the same state as a school already in the SEC?" This is an automatic disqualifier.

See? So much easier, and even more accurate because it eliminates a lot of the irrelevant stuff.

Based on the OP's original questionnaire, Ole Miss, Miss State and probably Vandy need to GTFO now.
