Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 4614359, member: 2524"] The SEC would also want UNC and UVa, although they'd probably prefer the academic connections in the Big Ten. The SEC has gotten a lot of mileage out of rivalries in two-school states (Alabama-Auburn, Ole Miss - Miss State, now Texas - Texas A&M) and might not mind Florida-FSU or even South Carolina-Clemson. It's not only about TV money, there's something to be said for traditions and rivalries too. On the other hand, with the Big Ten extending out to California, if the SEC really wants new markets and doesn't want overlap, the SEC should consider UConn for a footprint in the northeast. [/QUOTE]
