[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 813769, member: 282"] I don't see much reason for the SEC to want to merge with the ACC. FSU is big revenue, and would be a little above average for the SEC. Clemson would be at or below average, but they've got huge football prestige. They're looking at schools that pull in $$$. If I were in the SEC's shoes, I'd want the Penn States and the OSUs and the schools with 80k+ seat stadiums--picking off the cream of the B1G and P12, and mostly the B1G. That's the move they've already started making. The SEC could have just merged wholesale with the B12--they didn't want teams like Baylor, even though they just won the NCAA basketball championship. The move that makes more sense to me is for the B1G to defensively merge with another conference. I wouldn't be thrilled about it if I were the B1G commissioner, but my hand might be forced. I believe they are more interested in the P12, but aside from the lack of Olympic sports at some of our schools, the ACC is an option. The only way the B1G and SEC can add schools without diluting per-school revenue is poach each other's teams, or maybe a few top end schools from the ACC or P12--but only the top teams. [/QUOTE]
