That's true and it isn't. If you wanted to get in to those two states why wouldn't you just grab VCU and Appalachian State? Because at a certain point, quality of matchup is important. Duke/UNC are nationally followed programs, and when you're talking about content, especially tier 3 content, quality of matchup is very important. The Big East isn't pushing out a network when they expand literally from coast to coast. 2 states would he greater than 1, all else equal, but all else isn't equal.

That is true, but the gap between UNC-Duke and NC State is MUCH closer than VCU and App. State. You are right, quality of match-ups are important. But NC State is definitely well above that line. They might not be the biggest Fanbase in N.C. but there are more than enough Alumni/Fans that will call their cable companies to get the SEC Network on Basic Cable on every Cable outlet in the state. App State couldnt get 1.
