[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 996089, member: 2957"] Read closer. Eight of those teams are SEC. They aren’t just hoping for good press. They are spending big money for the chance to be competitiv. The ACC? Two. You could create two taglines. SEC: It just means more. ACC: It doesn’t mean much. The ACC, except for two, doesn’t have the fanbase, the program dollars, or institutional support other programs do. And it has struggled to expand outside basketball. If you want to change the Narrative, change the reality. There’s more to it than good press. Go to Knoxville. Or Oxford. Or most any SEC school. There’s constant construction of new facilities, new investment, more recruiting. When UT won the natty, they did it for one reason. They took advantage of USC and opened an LA recruiting office. Anyone could have. Miami could have. But UT did it. Was that “good press”? Or a good decision? I don’t have SEC Derangement Syndrome. They put on a good product, invest in it, and are constantly looking for expansion opportunities. Professionally run. Good for them. ND hires the ex programming head from NBC as AD. Good move. Tech was a national power as a member of the SEC. Our own history benefitted from it. And we continue to pay the price by leaving it to go independent. We begged to join the ACC the way SMU did. The ACC has structural problems that are difficult to solve. Sad, but true. The SEC looks like a conference that is well run and providing massive value to its members. And the same goes for the B1G. But if you want to be relevant, get the wallet out. That has more to do with it than good press. [/QUOTE]
