State lines and total population is the current metric.

Have you seen TV shots from their games? Nobody gives a damn about Miami football.

How does that not make sense?
a) South Florida is still more Florida than Miami
b) Pro teams fracture and devalue it more
c) SEC already gets premium carriage rates in FL so Miami is overlap and cannibalistic
When you look at any expansion you have to ask 3 questions
#1 is the team being added in the Top 25% of the existing conference in revenue streams?
I doubt Miami is producing 75% of Alabama's 150+ Million per year in sports revenue which would be around 112 Million. Even if it was producing 76 Million per year(which I doubt) that would just be Ole Miss type numbers and they are in the bottom 25% of the SEC not the top
#2 is the team #1 in medium market states or #2 in huge states?
Texas A&M was #2 in huge Texas and Missouri was #1 in medium Missouri. At best Miami is #3 and may even be 4th or 5th behind USF and UCF
#3 is the team in a new market or just overlapping an existing one?
Miami offers no new market for the SEC that it does not already have.
