But you don’t think the SEC should boost up in anything other than fb?

This is if they are going to 2 conferences. In that case, I can't see Texas being the limit we go west.


Geographically, where would you stop?

While I agree, little hard to do when 1 TZ falls on the Ga./Alabama borderline.

Sankey has made it about as clear as he could without tampering that he wants UNC and uva. I can understand UNC but not so much uva. There is obviously reasons beyond having a competitive FB team.

It was a great coup by the B1G, even Sankey would have jumped at the chance to add Los Angeles.

The only things that UVa brings in is the D.C. TV market and the leftwing politics.

No thanks.

UVA doesn’t bring the DC market, they’re probably like 4th after Maryland, Va Tech and Penn State.

Culturally and from a sports standpoint Va Tech would be a far better addition IMO.

The real question is whether adding west coast schools would make the conference money or add to the conference in football or basketball.

I don’t see how Arizona or ASU would do either which is why the B10 didn’t bring them when they made their western expansion.

Clear value adds:
UNC

Borderline:
FSU
Clemson
Miami
Va Tech
NC State
UVA
