The Houston market would have to be tapped to increase the TV contracts for the SEC so Texas A&M and/or Houston would have to be included in any expansion talks.

Going after texas and texas a&M is smart. However people who think we would get Texas w/o taking tamu is stupid. Also adding clemson florida state and georgia tech all make sense geographically. However this would hurt us in recruiting and tv contracts b/c we are not expanding our markets. This would ultimately weaken the SEC. A more economical fit would be obviously the two texas schools and 2 of the following: Virginia tech, UNC, Duke, NC state, oklahoma, or ok.state.

A&M is an absolute must in any SEC expansion. Without A&M, any SEC expansion would be a bust. Getting UNC would be a great consolation, but its not going to happen. I can't see another market better than the Houston or Dallas market, and UT isn't coming to the SEC.
The key word in expansion is market. Its one reason the B10 is looking at Rutgers. Even getting Miami, FSU or GT or Clemson will not substantially increase the SEC market.
