You're only looking at what we bring to the table in terms of football, so you're a moron. Arkansas and South Carolina both bring a lot to this conference.

Arkansas brings the #57, #101, and #180 TV markets to the table (Little Rock, Fort Smith, Jonesboro) with arguably a market share in #5 (DFW) and possible #72 (Springfield, MO), but both of those markets are now double covered by Missouri and Aggy.

South Carolina covers Columbia (#74), Charleston (#94), and Myrtle Beach (#95).

Honestly, if the SEC would have held off on expanding to Arkansas and SC, they may not have added those teams, given that TV markets drive re-alignment. Nonetheless, I am glad Arky and SC are in the conference.
