SEC has ATL, STL, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Nashville, New Oreleans, Tampa

BIG has LA, NYC, Chicago, DC, Philly

First and foremost is for the SEC to keep BIG out of ATL. SEC cant compete with that lineup of markets without getting creative. Snagging ND would be the obvious nuclear grand slam but it wont happen. Adding Clemson would help nationally to an extent but most already view them "like" the SEC. The best play for SEC in my opinion would be to go get the basketball bluebloods Kansas, UNC, Duke and bring in a national brand. I think that would propel the SEC into more rooms by far but would SEC add football doormats???

I don't think basketball matters one bit in any of this. Basketball is just what happens between bowl season and spring practice, in the big scheme.

Who says that we have to follow the B1G blueprint, and if I'm being honest, I think we're better off maintaining the status quo and strengthening our position with the ACC? Also, if Notre Dame stays in the ACC (which nothing has led me to believe that they won't) then this entire discussion is moot.
