SEC should only add schools from Virginia and North Carolina. They are the only virgin markets left in the Southern region.
The model has shifted.. it isn’t about the TV footprint in a state any longer.. it’s about matchups and eyeballs to watch a game.
Who brings better matchups?
FSU or Clemson or Miami vs Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, etc.
or
Any school in NC or Virginia vs the same schools
That’s just one example.
Where it gets interesting is when you are deciding between an Oklahoma State and West Virginia and NC State or Virginia Tech. That’s a much harder decision.

FSU and Clemson have many viewers for sure, including opposing fans from their in-State rival schools. So some of those eyeballs are duplicates. There would be no duplicity in adding a Virginia and North Carolina school. And their brand does not matter. The fans in those States will be thrilled to be in the SEC and will watch their teams no matter the records.

While I am happy that it will be more about matchups, why do feel it’s about matchups and not tv footprint?

If the SEC were to go to 24 teams.. this is what I would choose.
Alabama + 1
Auburn + 2
LSU + 3
Ole Miss + 8
Ms State + 9
Arkansas + 4
Georgia + 2
Florida + 5
Tennessee + 1
Kentucky + 9
S. Carolina + 6
Vanderbilt + 8
Texas + 4
Texas A&M + 3
Oklahoma + 12
* Ok State + 10
Missouri + 11
* Kansas + 7
* FSU + 5
* Clemson + 6
* Miami + 12
* West Virginia + 10
* Va Tech + 11
* UNC or Duke + 7
Play your division
Play your perm (number)
Play some sort of rotation on the rest
Who isn’t happy with that setup?
