Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Awesome
The old saying the wheels fell off the cart for Illinois
is so applicable . Not only that but the team of horses broke free and their bandwagon crashed to the ground and came to an abrupt halt.

Folks.

If you are wondering what a Key Tweet is, then here you go.

The fact that it wasn't coming from a West Virginia basement was a good clue.

IMO the next big move is UNC and Virginia to the SEC in about 5 years.

This would be a smart move by the SEC…

Why is that a smart move? The longer it takes, the more games being streamed vs linear, the less value Virginia and to a lesser extent UNC have. I’d argue 5 years from now UVA isn’t even in the discussion.

Why isn't it in the SECs interest to just stay where they are? Only thing i can think right now is you take members to deny them to other organizations.

I think there's a reason the SEC isn't going to move. New members, even schools like UNC don't move the average needle for the rest of the conference.

There is no reason for the SEC to do anything. They are complete.

I giggle at the people who still think Virginia is “the south”. Maybe parts of it are.

The B1G feels very cumbersome to me.

I’m not a big college football fan.. I’m more of a college basketball fan.. and those schools along with Duke and Syracuse are the the biggest basketball brands in the ACC in my opinion

What else makes you giggle, any assertion that the Earth isn't flat?

You don’t get out of the northeast much do you?

Oh it's south. Monticello is south. Maybe Alexandria gets an exclusion.

Not anymore. It’s about as south as southern New Jersey.

Half of Virginia reminds me of Northeast. Culture.
North Carolina is coming soon as well then SC.

SEC has taken a very deliberate path on expansion. Fit, location, and strong football tradition are all priorities. BIG has gone for national power brands, strong academics, and markets.

NoVA maybe. South Virginia is south.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

NoVA maybe. South Virginia is south.

I feel like Virginia being so long top to bottom is like 3 states in one:
Northern like the northeast
Middle like Appalachia
Southern like the south

Charlottesville is a northern city. Richmond is the south. SEC is deep south

 

[hank970]

I've lived in western Colorado for decades. In the peculiar version of geography you subscribe to, does that count as being somewhere other than the Northeast?

 

[Kolumbo]

Charlottesville is a northern city. Richmond is the south. SEC is deep south

I go by lattitude. Richmonds seems like it would be more of a northern city to me for some reason. Perhaps because of college basketball. How about Lexington?

They're focused on 18 unless UNC becomes available

kentucky? they certainly identify with the south, they basically own the word "y'all"

It’s funny because Kentucky didn’t secede. It’s definitely more southern than Virginia and most of NC these days.
