No.. maybe I misread your viewership numbers.. FSU is only at 2 million views.. with good games, their numbers will go up big time.

The numbers were correct. I was simply pointing out to an FSU guy that other SEC teams have higher historical TV ratings for teams he didn't mention. FSU will be the 7th highest draw in the SEC, maybe.

It makes sense to add them, and Miami, if we're going to do super conferences. We could pretty much have everyone's in-state rival in the conference. TV ratings and revenue would be very high and you could do a 10 game schedule in conference, no more pods (worst idea ever), keep divisions and keep all existing rivalries, plus restore old ones that went away.

Drop Mizzou.
Add FSU, Miami, Ga Tech, Clemson, Ok St

B = bye or OOC game, Auburn and FLA would have an additional conference game in order to restore that old rivalry. It would be counted as an OOC game in order to keep things even.

Almost nobody gives a shite about baseball. Print that on a shirt.

Football is all that matters.

ESPN has the money. They save 300 million a year after the Pac12 goes away. Also if the ACC dissolves, they save another 300 million a year. They are being smart, focus your money on 1 tier 1 product.

Because FSU has been to the CWS like a thousand times and never won it? Got it. I would lose interest as well.

Nothing, but stopping them from going to the Big10 is more valuable to the SEC than actually letting them in.

ESPN going broke is why the Pac-12 went down. 10 years ago when ESPN had money to burn, they would have given the Pac what they wanted. They no longer had the money to pay them a competitive rate and the other networks had no place for them as they already had the content they needed.

That's not even close to being accurate. The Pac12 wanted SEC type money because USC and UCLA wanted more money. ESPN doesn't own the Pac12 network, so why would they pay that much to distribute their content, that would be stupid.

BTW the Pac12 deal was split between ESPN and Fox. Fox didn't step up and pay 50 million a school either. Are they broke or just smart?

Two incredible teams that would make the SEC the first true superconference.

Helps with OU and their winning ways. FSU and Texas havent done a thing in 2 decades but they both seem the be improving and have strong brands.

Love to see Clemson. Some of the best fans in the nation. One of my best game day experiences at Clemson.

ESPN was the main reason the Pac went out of business. ESPN cannot pay the SEC more even though the SEC added Texas and Oklahoma. ESPN cannot pay the ACC anymore or it would have to protect its investment. ESPN is downsizing, to put all its investments into a super conference in an attempt to save money and look good to future buyers.

You aren’t even a good troll.
You actually suck at it.

Both have NC in the last 20 years and both played for another..
