Look how the travel shapes up. Unlike the PAC-L + a Buff scenario, The SEC can stay huge and still the best conference in the country and not make their fans travel ridicuously. Clemson, A&M, FL. St. (begrudgingly) and Ga. Tech. Who would be more competitive? The natural rivals make the league.

VT is not a SEC school, it needs to stay in the ACC

I look at it as an opportunity to bring your brand to more areas of the country. No one is making the fans travel, that's why they don't make you buy away game tickets as a part of the season package. It gives the fans that don't live in LA a better chance to go to the games, IMO, which I am excited about.

You're just wrong. The Texas schools will leave Baylor behind and VT will do the same to VA if given the chance.

How many people actually drive to away games at Nashville, Knoxville, Lexington, Columbia? Blacksburg is only 1 HOUR farther than Lexington is from BR. You're saying people won't be willing to drive one more hour to see a far superior team? I'd be willing to be most fans at away games either fly or already live near the away team.

In case you haven't figured this out, it is all about television revenue. Clemson and Ga. Tech bring very little. We already have both markets and neither has enough of a national presence.
