Who?! Seriously, NC State is rarely a thought.
Times have changed. Rather than TV markets, I think you’ll see additions based on alumni size, brand recognition, etc.

Just quickly looking at the numbers posted from both alumni associations, the University of Alabama has 35,000 active alumni members. NC State claims they currently has just under 248,000. Sounds like NC State might be cooking the books there.
NC State has a $22 million deficit in their athletic department budget. I know they've done some facility improvements, but that doesn't say much for their ability to bring in money.
Raleigh and Durham together rank as a top 25 TV market, in a state with no SEC presence. That would certainly count for a renegotiation for TV contracts regardless of brand recognition etc.
