re: One reason the SEC doesn't need expansion

You need to stop looking at small samples 1 school and recent events. TV deals are sold on the market reach of a conference, not individual schools seperately. The TV deals are sold on the reach of the conference, not the recent ratings for each team. No offense, but your comment about the cable deal shows you don't know how these things work. Things like the SEC or B1G Network are sold based on number of housholds it reaches, not based on on field success. A&M fans will not demand the SEC network because SEC teams have won 5 BCS titles. Their first interest is their team and their are more people in Texas. With all due repect, Mike Silve and the SEC presidents have better info about this stuff than you. You are too focused on game success. Deals like this are bigger than that. Being the best on the field does not guarentee the most revenue.
