Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 4344306, member: 6132"] Which is exactly why UConn is a better fit for the B1G than the SEC, my entire point. If the SEC wanted to get stronger in basketball, sure you can look at UConn… but are you REALLY looking at UConn when you have UNC, Duke, NC State etc in a state that’s contiguous to current SEC states. Unlike the B1G, being contiguous to current states matters to the SEC, the conference places value in its “Southern” roots.. which is why it’s highly unlikely the SEC plucks a team like Washington or Oregon (not impossible, but very unlikely). Not sure what you mean either when you say UConn matches up better in baseball than other SEC targets. Those targets being Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC, NC State etc. That is simply not true. And the SEC doesn’t have ice hockey, but the B1G does. Lacrosse, Field Hockey.. all of those other very East Coast non-revenue sports.. are NOT in the SEC…. But guess what, they are in the B1G.
