It would be a good move for both if expansion were to take place. They have a great brand, and would bring money to the table. Just sayin

Agree. But, they better get used to getting beat several times during regular season.

The money that really matters is TV revenue (ETA: Which they don't bring based on their states low TV viewership). Other than that yeah they would boost the rep of the conference because of their historical prestige but that doesn't really equate into dollars. Also I have a feeling that prestige would start to lose its luster incredibly quickly. I don't think they'd be built for a year in year out success in the SEC with their disadvantage of in-state recruiting.

I don't see them being first choice. Not enough TV sets in OK. They could be a fallback possibly but not with OK ST. I think a VA and a NC school would be more likely and only out of UVA, VA T, UNC, and NC ST.

I understand their frustration, but they screwed themselves by becoming the preferred lap dog to Texas. They had chances with the PAC and Texas ruined the deal by wanting more money than their fair share and Baylor.

Also, I'm not crazy about 14 team conferences much less 16, though I think it will happen in 10-20 years.
