[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 947991, member: 1682"] I've never been of the opinion that the SEC was even interested in being a National conference. I believe media mkts is ahead of brands by a long shot when you're looking at the long game. Brands come and go with winning/losing coaches. Therefore those making the business decisions of who to ask to join their conference will make their decisions based on media over brand. The one place I think brand figures in is when a school is the states or areas flagship and in the Big 10's case if they are a great academic/research or AAU institution and the flagship school - UNC comes to mind. GT is not the states flagship school, but we check all the other boxes, academics/research, media mkt bigtime, AAU and a past history of good brand on Nat'l scale, knowing we can get there again. The flagship school in GA is missing two important ingredients for the Big 10, academics/research and AAU. I still believe if the Big 10 comes south and goes to FL they will want the state of GA and GT is the only school at this time that fits their requirements in the state of GA. I do think GT needs to do whatever the Big 10 needs us to do thus the hiring of our new AD, a money raiser. How we get from here to there is the big question for every school that wants to move on. Swafford left himself one hell of a legacy as commissioner. [/QUOTE]
