I didn't. I compared each state's TV market...
...which is pretty much what this is all about. I contend Oklahoma by itself will not add $80M in SEC TV Network revenue - not enough subscribers. I further contend Oklahoma was invited into the SEC because the SEC wanted the Texas TV market, worth much more than $80M in annual SEC Network revenue and Oklahoma was a throw in so they could add two teams and keep the divisions balanced. Now if Virginia's TV market is big enough then perhaps a VT or a UVA could get an offer and if so it will entirely be because of the TV market and not because of on field performance. Recent examples of this in the B1G are the acquisitions of Maryland and Rutgers.
