You do know that nobody in North Caroline gives a crap about college football right.
A few years ago I had a job that required me to spend a lot of time in North Carolina. I wholeheartedly disagree with that comment. Pretty much everything else you wrote is spot on.

Ya if you lived in that state then I would def go for your opinion on that. However, It is prevalent that basketball is first in college sports in that state then football. That is what my statement should of said I may have exaggerated a bit with that statement.

Most people I know from the Western part of NC are Tennessee fans. At least in football. They pull for UNC in hoops though.

As it stands now, A&M would finish in the middle of the pack (#6,7,or 8 out of 14 teams) & Mizzou would be about #10 of 14 teams

If youre talking only football, as it stands now, A&M would be the 3rd highest ranked team behind Bama and LSU and Mizzou wouldn't be too far behind. If you're talking historic football success than you're right.

VaTech is too far north for me
I'm fine with a A&M/Mizzou if they find two others for the East.
Not down with moving teams from divisions, the SEC has built what it has now over the last 20 years basically, changing divisions would feel like a do-over kind of thing, me no likey
I got no prob with Mizzou, solid history, use to be solid in Bball, decent fit, not perfect but certainly better than Baylor or Ttech
as far as FSU joining, are Gator fans saying that Florida isn't big enough to have two SEC teams? so smaller states like Bama, Tennessee and Mississippi can have two SEC teams but Florida can't? it seems like that is what the gators are saying and it sounds like they are scurred.

frick having Missouri in the SEC. What do they bring to the table? If it is to placate Arkansas, frick that, Arky can leave and no one would be upset.

A&M would bring in the Houston TV market and parts of Dallas, Mizzou would bring the Kansas City and St Louis markets. Please dont forget, this whole thing is being driven by TV money and that market share. IF you do this, you want to get the most bang for the buck so to speak.
To balance you would have to have 2 east teams, West Virginia seems the most logical , get the DC Virginia market, as for the other one, maybe VA Tech or Clemson. FSU is not coming, nor Miami, nor Ga Tech etc.
This only happens if Texas continues with its greed outbreak, which it seems primed to do.

I wish the SEC would just leave what we have in place and not screw with it. If they are going to add schools, add schools FROM the SOUTHEAST such as Florida State, Va Tech, hell even Georgia Tech. I am not a big fan of A&M being in the SEC because i think that hurts our recruiting in Texas more than it helps.

Who's to say the SEC actually wants Missouri, they wouldn't bring anything to the conference.
Yes,they would. They would bring the St. Louis and Kansas City TV markets.

KC is more of a KU town as far as college sports go.

Not necessarily. Adding two would get you to an even 14. Just move AU back to where it belongs in the East and you've got two 7 team divisions.

What about the STL?

The fact remains Missouri is as southern as Kentucky. Both were claimed by the south yet neither left the Union to join the CSA.
True. I'm sure everybody knows about the battles between Missouri Rebels and Kansas Jayhawkers. Some of the most fierce and deadliest fighting BEFORE the Civil War. Hell Branson,MO is more southern/country than some of the cities in the South.

True which in turns pick up more fan bases in bording states of Illinois and Kansas which expands the SEC into other regions of the country. It's all about expanding markets which brings in more money. You want a BIG footprint. That's what the Pac 12 is doing. Got the West Locked. Honestly I think Mizzou fans want the Big Ten to be in with Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, etc.

Because of overlaps, when you add Team C, all they can generate is 13 units.

Practice has started everywhere by now, and I figured this SEC stuff would die down.
There's more out there today on twitter than ever ...

Smoke, this is the most I've ever seen. Twitter is going crazy.
Who posted earlier in this thread the move was "imminent"? They might have been balls on

I am hearing reports of this as well... Although I'm hearing it third hand...
