Hopefully this possible legal litigation keeps A&M out. I don't really care what school it is, they're killing tradition by adding another school. The SEC has been successful due in part to strict adherence to tradition. The ACC expansion teams took the easy way out and look at what that conference is like now.
To write off a school like Florida State because they already exist in the SEC footprint is to forget to put on your thinking cap. The Florida State Seminoles have a national brand. Everybody watches Florida State. From all over the country.
Clemson will never leave, they really don't compete for a division title as it is now, so why would they come play in the SEC and be lower tier when they can at least be top half in the ACC. And Clemson's facilities aren't even coming close to what the bigger SEC have (and not being biased Tennessee has the best far and away that i have seen so far).
Parting shot: I would like to urge people on this board to think for themselves and to not regurgitage what they hear or read. Because if you actually think about how this particular arrangement works, it woldn't be the case that everybody and their moron cousin incessantly talks about extending into a new geographical footprint. Now I realize that some people in this world are just not particulary bright and unable of forming thoughts on their own...but at least try.
You don't really know what you're talking about here.

Again.....for those who weren't paying attention. It has ZERO to do with WV's fanbase or television ratings. WV is the price of admission for the TV market. POTENTIAL viewers is what sells advertising. Advertising is what pays for giant TV contracts. The main thing WV brings is geography. They are nestled quietly between several VERY populated areas......that means TENS-OF-MILLIONS of potential new SEC viewers. And that means more money from ESPN into the conference contract.

I disagree. The fan base and TV ratings do play a role. Advertisers don't pay much for ****ty ratings.
They are over rated!

Unnecessary and arrogant to the extreme.....but there seemingly always has to be one in every thread.
As in there seemingly always has to be one in every thread who comprehensively refutes your argument?
It's not an argument at all. It is the reality of the situation. I have a little knowledge of what I speak, and really don't need your validation.I would sure hope so. It was a bad argument. Step up your game and you won't have to come back with "he's being a meany" comebacks.
