re: Hypothetical further SEC expansion

Sankey has said in the past that he doesn't plan on pursuing FSU or Clemson because they don't add to the SEC footprint. Might have changed by now considering the current landscape.

UNC and Va Tech add two decent tv markets and are southeastern states.

Clemson doesn’t add much value. They’ve been good lately in football but historically are meh. And suck at other sports. Small tv market.

FSU I think is a good addition even though we already have the Florida market. Blue blood brand with a large fanbase. Great football and baseball programs. They’re a natural fit for the SEC. Their brand will bring a lot of viewers and lock down the entire Florida market.

OSU doesn’t bring much value either. We have the Oklahoma market now. OSU will likely dominate the big12 so doubt they’d want to leave. Easy path to 12 team playoff

I don’t really know who the best 4th team would be as far as value. I want to keep it in the southeastern region, frick going national. Miami wouldn’t add much they don’t have a very strong fanbase even though they’re a solid program.

I guess Clemson would be about the only choice.
