The only two that would fit culturally, demographically, and put enough asses in the seats are FSU and Clemson. They are both in the top 20 in attendance. Adding national brands is more important at this stage than individual markets. Adding TCU would turn on an extra 50,000 to 100,000 tv sets. Adding either of the above turns on 5-10 times that on name recognition alone. Simply adding markets does not mean shite if nobody in the market watches the team in question.Half of the names being tossed around can't put 45,000 in the stands, what makes anyone think people will pay to watch them on TV

Fans are obsessed with brand names, not presidents, commissioners, ads, or networks. They prefer new markets , subscriptions, and money.
