[QUOTE="CEB, post: 947975, member: 4905"] In keeping with pure conjecture, just taking a look at a map of where people are and where the BIG / SEC aren’t, the mid Atlantic would seem to be the battleground. North Carolina and Virginia to be exact. I really have no idea how each conference is valuing new members at this point, but I think UNC and UVA will be welcomed in whichever conference they desire and will be highly sought after by both of this expansion business continues. I don’t see what Clem or FSU add to the SEC at all, but popular wisdom has them as virtual locks to the SEC when the time comes. I don’t buy it, but what do I know? If everything is headed toward streaming, does footprint even matter? Do you need a physical presence in a market if you have people in that market watching your networks / broadcasts? I would think not, and that takes away the ace we seemed to have up our sleeve. If Clemson and FSU bring enough eyeballs, does the SEC even care that they are smack in the middle of the geographic footprint they already have? Does the BIG need to come south geographically if tens of thousands of BIG fans move south and watch their broadcasts? Everyone is watching GOR with much anticipation, but I’m actually starting to wonder if the model and merits of any of this will be applicable in ten - twelve years... [/QUOTE]
