What would the SEC gain by adding Clemson and Florida State?

I do not get it. The SEC is already in those states.

TV markets aren't based upon states.
And we already had a team in Texas.

It's no longer about adding new states, dummy. It's about adding big-time programs that people will tune in to watch play.

If it bothers you, we gain that...

FSU has around 400k alumni worldwide and are spread out pretty well across the US. They're the bigger grab. They're also fairly competitive in most of their sports, especially women's soccer. National branding.
Clemson would be to just even out the conference and to get a good football team.

Why did the Big 10 add both UCLA and USC? They're in the same city

If we took a poll on who has the most shite posts and/or down votes, you win by a landslide

asking the wrong question. this is about what ESPN would gain (or stand to lose if they go B1G).

People focus on TV markets but ignore quality of the product.
Say we added two random schools like say Arizona and Utah. The product gets watered down. Great we got two additional TV markets but the product got a lot less appealing. Keep doing that and you turn into NFL lite and at that point why watch college over NFL? You won’t.
There’s a reason College football is really the only successful minor league on TV.

That whole "adding TV market footprint" philosophy was always so stupid. Who cares if you increase your "footprint" if no one is watching? FSU and Climpson are known commodities. People nationwide will tune in to watch their games. You think adding Rutgers to the B1G added viewers?

More likely to get teams like UNC/UVA/Vtech/ND if we start by taking Clemson & FSU - its no longer about adding TV markets as opposed to building a mini-NFL, this is just an intermediate step. give it 10 years and we wont be playing G5 schools, we'll be playing 9 or 10 conference games and the other 2 or 3 will be playing the B1G.
Think of the SEC/B1G as AFC/NFC.

Seems like someone would have gobbled up West Virginia before the Big12 if "footprint encroachment" was a real thing. Football, not a big deal. But adding that much travel to the non revenue generating sports just seems counter intuitive to me.
I do not get it. The SEC is already in those states.

Agreed. Now the secRant? that's another story.
