the SEC and Big Ten need to work together to weaken the ACC

quote:

---

Mizzou is a midwestern state or least huge parts of it are Midwestern so tell Mizzou to go the big ten so they have MD and MO for 14 teams and the SEC goes to 16.

BIG don't want Mizzou I think they'll go after them if the SEC pick up a 14th team.

I have been very pro-WVU along these threads. That is mostly because I figure the ACC is locked down. In a perfect world, if I got my druthers, I'd like to see in the SEC as #14 one of these ACC cuties:
FSU
Clemson
UNC
GT
VT

If it came to a choice between stopping at 13, or adding either Mizzou or WVU, I come down on the side of adding WVU, for two reasons:
1. WVU has a pretty solid football program, fan base, and traditions very similar to the SEC. They are a small state, but do still provide an increased SEC footprint in WV and western PA, and have a fairly marketable brand image nationwide.
2. Mizzou is really mostly a midwestern school/state, has a mostly lukewarm football program/tradition, and really wants the B1G. They would leave the SEC in a heartbeat if the Ten came a'courtin'. I think the SEC would be foolish to set itself up for such an embarrassing inevitable defection.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
