elite programs typically
1. have support (which = ratings)
2. can gain national appeal (which = ratings)
shite programs almost always have neither. TAMU is an exception, b/c while they suck, they have a loyal fanbase

I get the feeling and hoping it's A&M and Oklahoma, if not OU then Kansas would be next plus adding NC and Duke to create a much improved TV package for Basketball.

adding KU isn't a plus for the SEC

basketball isn't really a revenue-generating sport. a few programs make a little bit of money, but choosing schools for basketball is fricking retarded

Isn't Kansas Basketball under a full blown federal investigation to boot?

Ah, I can't get excited about either of those schools.
What does Kansas bring into the conference besides men's basketball?

The SEC would love that, a huge imprint into TX. OU has as much fanbase in Dallas as does TX or A&M. Then move Bama & Auburn to the eastern div,

Oh yeah, big time... No thanks, Jayhawks.
ETA: Not to mention one of the guys involved was a KU player's father.

Missouri is a sleeping giant. Nobody thought much of Rutgers only 10 years ago, but now there's even some interest from the Big 10.
Mizzou averages 65,000 fans, anyway. I think they're being unfairly denigrated here. Also, as soon as Mizzou joins the SEC their enthusiasm will increase that much more.
I don't think Va. Tech automatically adds the D.C. area, either. How many people do you know in Wash DC? I know a few. How many are Tech fans? Not any vast portion. Virginia, yes, Tech not so much.
I would prefer Oklahoma, Duke (but only as a package with UNC), and North Carolina... but that's not going to happen.

no it's not
it's locals don't support CFB and it has no fertile local recruiting grounds

Yeah, that's why 65,000 fans show up to watch games against the likes of Iowa State.

no, texas A&M is a sleeping giant, USF is a sleeping giant, Missouri is a nice second tier football school
For MU to maximize their potential appeal and success they need to end up in the Big 10 (where they will play IL every year) and continue to play KU in KC. Them doing that has actually been a smart move on teh part of MU's administration (to increase mediocre support in STL and KC)
Them coming to teh SEC where they are not guaranteed games vs IL or KU will hurt their regional appeal and them getting their asses handed to them will further erode their fanbase

link me to these numbers
i'd be shocked if their stadium (if they own their own stadium) held 65k
#42 in Revenue from a BCS conference

here's an old one from 2006
MU averaged 55k in 7 home games
2006
they can hold over 75k on occassion tho - a nice second tier football school IMO - not a sleeping giant

As someone who grew up in the DC suburbs and went to UVA for Undergrad - I would guarantee that adding VT would deliver the DC market. The bars are always packed for VT games. Maryland and UVA just don't have the same pull.
For that matter VT would deliver Richmond as well.
The problem with VT is not that it doesn't add revenue/viewership, but that Virginia politics would attempt to force the SEC to take UVA too (which would be my personal dream scenario). In reality, I just don't think the SEC wants to take both teams.
