Same thing with UVA, probablly the first choice, but if they aren't interested, VT gets you the same markets.
Clemson, GT and FSU don't bring anything in terms of new markets to the SEC so you can forget that. Duke can not bring enough extra revenue on their own, maybe take them to get UNC, but otherwise NCSU is the better option over Duke.

Missouri was an easy choice for SEC.
It provided a neighboring state without a SEC school already in a potential good environment to maybe bring a basketball tourney one day.
Missouri didn't have to be a sexy pickup, Texas A&M and access to the state of Texas was what the SEC really wanted.
Next round of expansion will be the same thing, SEC doesn't need a marquee team, they already have those in current SEC membership.
When the dominoes fall, the SEC will pluck a ACC team in a state where they have no presence, most likely NC State and somewhere else, possibly even another Texas team would be ideal.
