quote:
“I would go for North Carolina first because they really hit a lot of different boxes,” Finebaum said, (first transcribed by Saturday Down South).

“For one, they are the dominant university in one of the 10 or 11 largest states in the country. That doesn’t matter as much as it used to from a television footprint. But they do cover a lot there. They have a respectable football program, and they have an elite basketball program, which I don’t think, again, is driving anyone other than a few out west. They just bring a lot to the table overall.”

I would like to see none! Leave the damn conferences alone! Sad to see conferences destroyed all about the money.

UNC and Texas as the new guard lobbying for control over the old birmingham power brokers would be a s**tshow.

FatDawg•11 months

I would HATE it if the sec added fsu and clemson. I would much rather see them both fade away into an acc/aac combined mess.

We don't Need no Stinkin Seminoles... Canes, or anymore Tigers..

I'll take Tar Heels, Wolfpacks, Blue Devils, Cavs, or Hokies.

weremoose•11 months

One too many Tigers as there are. And I'm not talking about the ones in the West

KAGTASTIC•11 months

NCSU would most likely have to tag along..which wouldn't be a bad combo. But this is discussed each time so not some kind of great call by PF. UVA/VATech would be better than Clemson/FSU too.

There will so many egos in the SEC that in 20 years it'll split into two different conferences.

hottub•11 months

At what point do we have the big college conferences drop the amateur status, commit to a professional league and create their own league?

GeauxTigers1410•11 months

I agree. If you take the heart of the ACC out, I think any number of NC State, Duke, Wake, And Virginia follow.

I know everyone thinks basketball does not matter but Duke/Carolina is an asset you would want.

Doesn't hurt that he lives in Charlotte now. Because his show originates from there.

RockChalkTiger•11 months

Agree. Most desirable property in the ACC. And if you don’t take them, the B1G will. Would like to see them and one other (UVA or NCSU).

Leopold•11 months

We could do worse, I'll give him that

TigerFan55555•11 months

you want North Carolina, VA Tech, Miami, Clemson, Fl St

Add GA Tech VA, Duke, Wake, NC State, OK State later

cajunmud•11 months

The next in are Clemson, FL St and Miami. Prolly coming sooner than later.

POTUS2024•11 months

Exactly. I think the SEC aims for 20 and tries to get everyone's major rival within the conference. This might mean Ok St and Ga Tech come in and Missouri leaves.

TDFreak•11 months

Tulane too!

TouchdownTony•11 months

I'd like to see Florida State, Ga Tech, Clemson and Tulane. I think bringing these in state rivals would help the SEC. FLorida, USe and UGA are done with their conference before most teams. Need to have that "conference" game on rivalry weekend.

Scatback1•11 months

Screw Tulane

RemouladeSawce •11 months

There is no “need” whatsoever for that last game to be in conference
