Louisville

Pros: If the SEC doesn’t want to be viewed as a “conference killer”, Louisville could be an easy and safe choice as the 14th team. The program draws well when it wins and has proven it can compete at a high level nationally. Great fit geographically. Puts SEC into a large pseudo-Southern city. Great basketball team with sparkling new arena. Football stadium is relatively new and in great shape.

WRONG!

Like I said, most of the people on this forum have better insight than some of these clowns.

I was a Clemson favorite to get a rivalry with Coach Sweeny but i don't think Clemson will leave the ACC now. Missouri is my next choice because of the West and move Auburn to the East. There seems to be a big following there (Missouri) so TV market might be good? My only other choice would be UNC? They have a great BB market and a fair football following. What say about any interest to UNC? RTR!

I would like to see VT join. I think they bring the most to the table.

VT to the east would be a nice complement to aTm to the west.

Tony Barnhart said before the Arkansas game that he expects the SEC to play 2012 with 13 teams. He also said 2013 we will have at least 14 members. Va Tech and FSU voted againt the $20 Million buyout clause to keep ACC members from leaving. Either of those teams would be an excellant choice for the SEC.

FSU board of Regents had a meeting a week ago Monday about realignment. Nothing I know of was released about the meeting. Gatorsports boards are talking about FSU being invited to join SEC.

Hey those are great analogies. I didn't hear Mr. Barnhardt say that but I may have been in the back office. I would to see VT with their coach and defensive coach come into the league. RTR!

VT would be my first choice.  FSU would be OK, but I would HATE having to listen to that cheer every time they played.

[bamaphil]

I think VT would be the best and most realistic choice.  I don't see the SEC going after Louisville, UNC wouldn't come.  NC State and Maryland make little sense.

I see L'Ville as a great fit. I'd rather not include a team that will be in the mix of teams competing for conference championships. Our schedule is tougher than any team in the country now. Their TV mkt is already captured by UK, but their mkt overlaps with the Indianapolis area too.

UNC is the backbone of the ACC. We are not actively recruiting, according to Mike Slive, so it would have to be them applying for membership. I don't see it.

Clemson, FSU, and GT bring no new recruiting areas or TV mkt.

Va. Tech has said, or maybe just the Virginia media has said, they will go no where without UVA. I believe this to be based on Commonwealth law but cannot quote any particular statutes.

VT used up favors with the governor and othe politicians to get in the ACC. Not that long ago either.

I would like to see FSU in the SEC East. It would balance out the level of competition in the two divisions.  Plus with the Barn going over there, they would have to play FSU every year.
