TV markets and new states don’t matter anymore, it’s about football brands so I don’t buy the UNC or UVA hype

Biggest football brands not currently in the P2 are Notre Dame, Clemson, FSU and Miami

Notre Dame has no reason to join a conference with the playoffs expanding and would be a weird fit

Miami would be a weird fit

That leaves Clemson and FSU by process of elimination

Why ? They suck. Noone wants to see them play.

Personally, I would prefer to see more Vanderbilt-style additions to help raise the conference's academic profile.
Players don't go to play school.

I personally would like Clemson due to their competitive history with Ga..
I also like VT & think them vrs. TA&M would be an interesting matchup.

I also understand the bb help with UNC, Va., Duke, & Kansas.

Anybody know about other schools that would assist our conference in other sports?


While I’m open to further geographical expansion, I see the travel issues the B1G & ACC are now dealing with.

Side Question: How well do you see the other main (P4) Conferences holding up with their current structure? Ex: Does USC stay in the BIG?


While I understand the PAC schools jumping on the B1G & ACC to stay in a Power conference, I think the travel will do them in (either by toll on the body, $, or both). Yes, the pros have travel, but they don’t have to deal with school/jobs & usually play multiple opponents during that stretch

Even GT?

I guess UGA’s opinion of them would be different than Auburn’s.

Im worried we (Texas) might make everyone in this conference leave and search for success elsewhere
Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri. A&M
All left Big 12 after several hard fought losses apeice to us and nothing looked like it was gonna change soon
I sure hope we can keep traditional SEC teams together with Texas
If we start beating Georgia every year they could leave and make the ACC a good conference
I sure like the teams we have now in SEC and and dont want to see the opposite happen

Honest question: do you see the ACC remaining intact?

Hey you changed my text you forger

It said we beat nebraska and A&M and missouri and colorado every year it seemed like and nothing looked to change and they searched for success in new conferences
I hope Georgia dont go to the ACC
If we beat them 4 years in a row with nothing looking to change after
They could boost the ACC alot and the SEC would never be the same without them
Lets keep the SEC together forever!!!
