Look for GT and FSU pretty quick. The sec already has a good chunk of the Dallas/Houston market and is growing . Gonna solidify Atlanta. Next would be Clemson and North Carolina. Miami doesn’t have enough fan interest in any sport.

Pheonix is the number 10tv market. Seattle is #11.

With the forums of a month ago being centered on SEC football scheduling - how many "permanent" vs rotating opponents, divisions vs pods, etc - does further expansion really add any appeal to a future SEC football season? Or, just a big group of teams that rarely even play one another? Does a "conference" lose it's appeal when your team plays a handful of "conference" opponents once every 4-6 years? I doubt that the season would be extended by more than 1 week - and, maybe that's via some end of season conference playoff - so, there's not much opportunity to increase the frequency of teams meeting in that.

Why add some of the teams being talked about? Adding them is going to diminish the competition level.

No doubt ND is looking. Losing their HC to LSU had to be an eye opener. Not too long ago I could never envision a coach leaving ND except by getting fired. Having an exclusive tv contract isn’t a big deal anymore either.
