Pick six looked really great right there. I can definitely see this being fun for young children, and I think that anything the major leagues and NCAA can do to drum up interest among Generation Alpha and whatever comes after that (can't be Beta, right?) is a move in the right direction.

Not saying you’re wrong, but I don’t believe it.

Expansion has always been about adding TV markets. (That’s only reason MO was added. They bring STL and KC tv market.

Clemson and FSU do neither. And as a charter member, UF has the ability to blackball FSU.

I'm not going to pretend that I understand all the intricacies of media markets/television subscriptions/revenue generation or anything, but the general tone in all of these conversations now (fair or otherwise) is that media markets matter much less than they did in 2011 when Missouri and Texas A&M were announced as joining the following season.

Again, I don't understand why (something to do with streaming versus linear television, maybe?) and also feel like adding a Virginia school and a North Carolina school to expand the footprint would bring in a bunch of cash. But from a brand perspective, Clemson and FSU are easily two of the three or four "available" (non-SEC) schools so that's not nothing.

Here’s an unpopular take…
1. USC will go there and die. As long as Lincoln Riley is their HC they will not play sufficient defense (and wind up losing unnecessary games i.e. Iowa).

2. The B10 will still fail to produce a consistent national contender (that can win the big one).

3. The B10 will make the most money and still lag behind the SEC in viewership.

Edit* The SEC will still recruit at overall higher levels.

The jury's still out on USC and I would personally be surprised if they don't make the playoff this season, but everything else is just objectively true and thus shouldn't be unpopular.

re: If you’re a voting SEC member, what is your reasoning to add FSU/Clem vs UNC/UVA?

Having grown up in VA, I don’t agree with this at all. UVA is a substantially better overall package. VT is not well positioned in football long term, and UVA is literally better at everything else. Their fans are snobs but that’s not exactly a needle-moving issue in the decision process for university presidents.

I agree that Virginia is better at baseball, basketball, Olympic sports, you name it than Virginia Tech and is accordingly the stronger overall athletics department. But since expansion is being driven by football, I'm not sure the equation is that easy; Virginia Tech outdraws Virginia in terms of attendance/television eyeballs and seems to me (someone who has never lived in the state) like the more popular program.

re: If you’re a voting SEC member, what is your reasoning to add FSU/Clem vs UNC/UVA?

Posted by TrumpedUpVol on 8/8/23 at 8:36 am to Toneski

FSU and Clemson are tough because the SEC already has established programs in those states. FSU is a massive brand in a huge state, so they make a lot of sense to me but Clemson feels like diminishing returns in spite of their recent success. If Clemson doesn't join the Big Ten (I really don't believe they're a legitimate candidate), are we pretending that they'll have the same level of program interest and longevity playing road games against Utah and Colorado as opposed to Florida State and Georgia Tech? I just don't see it.

Virginia Tech over UVA is a no brainer to me. If UVA goes to the Big Ten and VaTech goes to the SEC, the divide in popularity between the two programs will just continue to grow.

North Carolina is trickier. I'd prefer the Wolfpack, but they're not as big a get as UNC and they already have a smaller footprint/fanbase. If the SEC can get UNC, NC State has no chance of joining the Big Ten and you more or less just guarantee them becoming even more of an afterthought.

Stanford may not care for the cfb rat race anymore but recruiting exceptional athletes that compete in your typical upper-middle-to-upper class olympic sports is a big part of their brand.

I think they're going to have to make some concessions just to have competition for their athletes in non-revenue sports.

Yeah, it's all really messy. Stanford could be an independent program in football with ease, but managing a full schedule for basketball and baseball without the benefit of penciled in conference opponents seems really tough. Doable, I guess, though it'll likely cost you a lot of money (money they have, in theory) to get strong RPI teams to Sunken Diamond in April and May.

I would assume that the fringe Olympic sports like water polo and beach volleyball are easy enough to schedule, but who knows.

Is there any G5 programs that could keep them afloat?

This is the problem. If Stanford and Cal decide to shelve the snobbery and support expansion (huge "if"), there's no collection of available teams that could be cobbled together to create a power conference.

To be clear, the four remaining Pac-12 teams are small brands with no upside. When a school as wealthy and connected as Stanford isn't a slam dunk for the Big Ten, you know that it has some serious drawbacks. Grabbing Fresno/SDSU/Boise/Memphis/Rice/Air Force/whomever would make for a fun conference, sure, but it's nowhere close to being on par with the Big XII and ACC (let alone the Big Ten and SEC).
