Obviously everyone disagrees with me here, which I expected. But when you have a choice between FSU/Clemson -- Two football programs with storied histories, national championships, closer locations, and massive fanbases that could bring even more revenue--versus MU/KSU/KU, you take the first two. I think that if the crap hits the fan, UF and USCe will see that.
the thinking is that schools that are already part of the sec do not want to add non sec schools that are in the same state as them and that they have formed a voting block and will vote down fsu, clemson, etc. that's why everything involving sec does not discuss those schools and instead focuses on mu and west virginia. there is at the very least some truth to this voting block suggestion.
I know about this bloc, and in a normal situation I'd completely agree. But crap is about to hit the fan, and in a crap-hitting-fan situation, you throw conventional thinking out the window and figure out the best way to advance your school and your conference. Since all the SEC schools are secure in their spots in a 64 team superorganization, they need to start thinking about the welfare of their conference. My view is that FSU, Clemson, and WVU/MU would advance their conference in revenue more than KU/KSU/MU, and I think both Florida and South Carolina will relent in their so-called voting bloc to let them in.
so assuming the sec would want them and i don't think they do. why would they want to go? acc is set now. they're good.
The ACC not only built up their walls, but they started invading other countries. If they grab UConn and Rutgers, there's nothing stopping them from owning the entire east coast.
Duke/UConn/Pitt/UNC in the Final Four of the ACC tournament at Madison Square Garden.
ESPN will just set up a hose from Bristol to Charlotte and pump money through it. They will literally have a stranglehold on ESPN primetime from December to April.
