I like it but it will not happen like that.
Clemson brings no money to the table. All the people that follow Clemson either go to the games or cannot afford electricity.
The only way the SEC expands is to attract more TV viewer markets.
If it happens I see Texas A&M, Va. Tech, WVU and maybe N.C. State. I heard they wanted a North Carolina team, but that is just a guess. I cannot imagine UNC leaving the ACC.
I don't know why we wouldn't take WVU and Pitt (other than the fact I hate Pitt and want to gouge Mark May in the eye with my knife and beat Dan Marino like Ike Turner would). That would lock up the western PA market and offer a potential avenue to the NE TV market. WVU recruits heavy in the NE.
Just my thoughts.
kd - I look forward to your comments - always gives me a new perspective on things
Yes I hear they are definately after at least txa&m - would like to get more fromt he west if possible - but hear that is a very low chance - the best chance from big12 is txa&m
since this is all about money - the SEC might as well do the same - heard they are also after vatech - adding clemson or any fla school would not add any tv money
heard that one carrot thrown out to entice texas&company was to alternate the SEC championsip game between the new dallas stadium and atlanta
Pac10 will do most anything to get texas&company - big10 is still hoping to somehow convince ND to join - even if they have to go after big east teams to do it
I do hope that whoever the SEC adds it will improve the conference and not just add teams - would be better to stay with the 12 we have than to add for the sake of adding teams
