re: How the SEC Should Expand If It NEEDS 16

Why is it so hard to understand how and why expansion works? You expand to increase your footprint and gain markets and viewers. Adding two schools from the same state doesn't do that

Why should Auburn/Bama, MSU/Ole Miss, and UTenn/Vandy be forced to recruit on the same level against their instate rivals while Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina are free to keep their rivals (FSU, GaTech, and Clemson) under thumb as beta-level recruiters in the ACC?

Besides, adding FSU, GaTech, or Clemson would consolidate the SEC's TV influence with the other half of the populations of those states (which are currently watching ACC games).
