Clemson instead of Mizzou

Was Clemson looked at during the SEC expansion? They would have been a great add. In my opinion a better choice than Mizzou from a football aspect.

Nah the league is hard enough as it is.

Anyone would have been better for the east than Missouri, both from a geographical standpoint and a competitive standpoint. Clemson, Fla St, Ga Tech, Virginia Tech and so on

Are you joking?

Somehow more money is made B/c of the mizzou market, as opposed to adding a perennial top 10 team, making for more top games throughout the season, as well as another team that cAn make money in the post season.

It's coming my friend. They'll be a Super Conference. I foresee it being called the SAC...Southeastern Atlantic Conference.....

Conference expansion is all about money and TV markets. Do you really think the Big 10 wanted Maryland - or did they want the DC metro television market? Same with Rutgers and the NY/NJ market.
Missouri gives the SEC Kansas City and St. Louis markets. What's Clemson give - Columbia, Greenville, and Charleston?

We already have a school from South Carolina in the league. The SEC was not going to take another one.

South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky would have voted against a Clemson add. Maybe a few more as well.

Why would you want the SEC to be any more difficult to win then it already is?

Doubt it. Expansion was mostly about adding TV markets. SEC already has a team in SC, so that area was already a market SEC had. But A&M added Houston and Dallas TV markets, Mizzou added St Louis and Kansas City markets. Clemson shares same TV market as USC and USC probably would've objected strongly to adding another in-state SEC school to compete against in recruiting
