Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4371246, member: 1559"] I think how schools are valued has changed. Schools were valued on markets, but they are now going to be valued on brand. The markets philosophy worked when the captive cable bundle drove conference realignment and added fees to the conference networks. As the cable bundle breaks down and streaming takes over, brands are much more important in driving value. Since football drives the bus, Clemson is a much bigger football brand than UNC or UVA which means they will be attractive to the SEC. I think people will want to watch games like Clemson/South Carolina (played 118 times), Clemson/Georgia (played 65 times), Clemson/Auburn (played 51 times), Clemson/Alabama (played 19 times), Clemson/Tennessee (played 19 times), Clemson/Florida (played 13 times).
