10 Million in North Carolina >>> 3 Million people in Kansas. They add nothing of interest to the conference. They're worthless in the game of realignment.
Again, I am not arguing that Kansas is worth more than North Carolina so I don't know why you keep bringing it up like it means something.
One more time, ESPN is not going to destroy the ACC, which they essentially own the entirety of aside from some Raycom games, to add schools to the SEC. Its NOT going to happen so its pointless to bring up any ACC schools. (never mind that they also have a network planned for around 2016)

I stand by my statement. Kansas is worthless.
Well then you are standing by being flat out wrong. Dunno why you feel the need to dig on this. Nobody is saying Kansas is better than a (major) school from NC or VA. They aren't. But to say they are worthless is just flat out wrong and is completely oblivious to the entire purpose of the SECN. You may as well be one of the people that bring up adding Clemson and Florida State when you say Kansas has zero worth.
and PS, comparing the impact of Big East schools which are all small private religious based to a large state school like Kansas is just silly.

You sure are worked up about this.

They're all basketball schools. Comparing them is justified.
Also, you seem to be ignoring the fact that adding Kansas would only dilute the overall SEC Network revenue PER SCHOOL (which is set to become the lifeblood of the conference in the future)
When the SEC Network launched, they had a goal of reaching a total of 75 Million households (Which they're close to). Out of those 75 Million, 28 Million of those households would be inside current SEC states. That means that there is an average of 2 million households per school.
The state of Kansas currently has a total of 3 million people which translates to a little over 1.1 million households (as of 2010 Census). Even if we were to assume that every household in Kansas had cable, it would still come nowhere near close to benefiting the conference.
So again I say; the state of Kansas is worthless. They would only dilute the conference payout (per member) if they were to join. I rest my case.
