ECU would be a horrible choice. While somewhat adequate in football, basketball is useless. Plus, they have a very small, relatively speaking, fan base. I doubt there a many outside Greenville that really care for them or bother watching their games on TV.


Excellent points, Bammer.

But I do wish others would quit talking about ACC teams because they ain't going anywhere.

Y'all need to get something through your heads. ACC teams aren't going anywhere. The future is that bright, and the penalty is that high.

It's only a 50 million dollar buyout to leave the ACC. And it'd totally be worth it to add another South Carolina team, since the tv market here is so huge.

Central Florida - huge school and the state could support another SEC school. I think we are going to move away from the "one school per state" television model soon.

If the SEC cant take a Virginia and NC school, then the pickings become very slim. Im not sure that expansion is even in the SEC's best interest, but if it is you are looking at Big 12 schools.

Those would be Texas, OU, Kansas and West Virginia.

If the SEC is going to 16 then its likely everyone else is as well and you'll be facing some competition for a small pool of schools.

I know this would never happen, but what makes the most sense is to blow up conferences all together and just have a single governing body over 54 or 62 schools whatever the numbers is and have an NFL style league with divisions and playoffs. Conferences are little more than loose affiliations at the moment anyway, and will only be more so with further expansion.

Auburn isn't going to the East. Ever.

Not unless they figure out a way to have 2 permanent cross division games for each team. Iron Bowl or TSIO aren't going away.

Who are JC and Morgan? Shurburt and Mike?

How does one go-about listening to a podcast?

The East is about as JV of a division as it gets. Just because it's worse than the West? lol The East has been shite since 2014. Yes.


if you finished reading, the post referenced data since 2009

2011-2013 the east was pretty good, just not better than the west. Somehow makes it JV

that's actually exactly why it is JV. See, in high school sports, the better players play on the varsity team and the not better players play on the junior varsity team ... so I was trying to make the comparison of a conference being broken into two segments, just like in high school - JV and varsity.

Let me know If you need me to clarify any other facetious posts. I'm here all week.
