We won't be adding teams from states that already have SEC schools in them. In the contract with Comcast (and I bet it is similar with the other providers) the SEC Network gets $1.40 per subscription within the SEC footprint, and $0.25 per outside the footprint. That is a major difference, and the reason that Mizzou is now a SEC school and not FSU.

If we had to add two, perhaps NC State and Oklahoma State (OU if they'd come).

This has been pointed out time and time again and people do not listen. They think it is some fantasy game "ZOMG LETS PUT FSU & TEXAS IN!" Do you think they expanded to Missouri for their great football prowess? They did it for Kansas City and St. Louis viewers.
