Not sure its just unc and ND

but agree there are a small few "brands" that would make sense. i would include oregon and probably clemson and fsu. but i agree that just adding to add does not makr sense. Conferences should only be adding schools that guarantee to increase your revenue enough to make it so that every member also gets a larger yearly amount. just adding 8 schools will probably not do that

it's all based on exponential media money- it will always increase
bigbadbird • 07/06/22 01:51 PM ET
No further expansion makes financial sense unless it is ND or UNC

The networks want more states and better games. Auburn VT, VT A&M, Fla VT,
Stech • 07/06/22 01:24 PM ET
