Right now, ND is the only team that it makes sense for the SEC to go beyond 16 teams in order to add.
They're the only team outside the Big 10 and SEC already who drives viewership. Texas and OU were in that category, but they just joined. FSU and Clemson are not.
I don't think FSU or Clemson would cause existing SEC teams to make more money if they joined. But ND plus ANYONE would result in more dollars for the other SEC teams.
This could change as the SEC gets closer to the expiration of their ESPN contract. But we just added Texas and OU and the per team playouf for SEC teams didn't change at all. And ND is the ONLY team at that level or higher who's not in the big 10 or SEC already.
