BOL Round Table

I prefer Florida State and Clemson. But I know how the conference thinks and it's all about money from TV markets so I'd look for Virginia Tech and who knows.

Troy and UAB

VT and NCStU

Two more sure losses for Auburn every year.

What is the endgame here Chris? Four 16 team conferences and everyone else is sol?

Probably, yeah - it's a money grab. Considering there's still something like only 22 athletic programs that make a profit, a lot of schools are desperately wanting to be in a big-time conference.

I think the ACC and Big East are both in trouble. Wouldn't be surprised to see an eventual merger of some sort, or one folds.

Personally i'd prefer UVa and UNC, but i realize that VT and NCSt are probably better culture fits for SEC (& still gain the same markets)

How is North Carolina not a good fit. They have been on probation more than anyone in the SEC excluding Auburn

The wish list of teams we all would have is completely different than the reality of what teams it would/will end up being.

Forget any team where we already have a team in that state. ie - Florida schools. This means no to Clemson as well although they are obviously a natural fit. Probably won't happen with USCe already being from the state. Texas would obviously bring eyeballs and even though a&m is already here....IF a Texas wanted to actually join they might be the only exception.

Realistic teams are exactly the two Crims0nTider and BAMAMANAGER said. - NCState and VTech. Why? Two new additional states with the ability to make TV deals the biggest they can be. This is all its about. New eye's on tv sets in markets we are not in currently.
