Why would you want to make it even harder to get to the playoffs/ncg? Just so the conference can make more money from new markets?


Clemson and FSU wouldn't bring new markets. They would just make it harder to get to the playoffs.

If Clemson hadn't whimped out and had left the ACC when SC did, MAYBE they would be in the SEC right now. Instead they are stuck in a basketball conference.

Clemson: wouldn't be my top choice, but sure, they'd be a decent fit. 


Oh, we'd be more than a decent fit, we'd be an amazing fit in every imaginable way and the SEC would be lucky to have us. But like I already said, we're not interested.

Um, exactly what way?

Smaller endowment than most the SEC schools outside of tLandmass
Average to below average academics
Terrible non football sports / support
Less income than revenue as SEC is already in SC (overlaps SC)

Sweet, you're also 2-6 against us since 1990.

I mean we both can cherry pick years to make the series look more favorable for our respective programs. The fact of the matter is we beat you just about 7 times out of every 10 we play. We would welcome you with open arms.

Adding a current overlapping school means more mouths to feed and less money to feed them with.

Aw, brah you're way off. Clemson would be one of the best academic schools in the SEC, behind only vandy, Georgia, and Florida.

We support baseball as much as any sec school and basketball as much as any sec school not named Kentucky or Florida.

Nah I wasn't cherry picking I was using my lifetime. You're the one cherry picking. You probably didn't realize you were doing it so that's the only reason I'm pointing it out. It's all good, dude. LoL!

Bruh, I literally pointed out the fact I was cherry picking to make a point. Which is why I then posted the all time record. Again.

What were you saying about those Clemson academics?

I’d be ok with adding those 2 but we’d need serious division realignment.

The east can have both and we'll take Mizzou over In the west.

We own both the states, so no. Have to add where we don't already own.

I’d rather add two teams to the west and move Bama and Auburn east honestly.


Then you would have the most lopsided conference in college football. Besides, Alabama doesn't belong in the East. Auburn you might could make an argument for.
