This is an excellent conclusion that makes a lot of sense. If those two

schools were heading for the SEC, then there wouldn't be the need for all this drama. ESPN would shuffle them over to the SEC since they have the rights to both conferences. My guess is the SEC doesn't want Clemson or at least not as much as the B10. Either the SEC also isn't as interested in FSU or perhaps FSU really wants to torch ESPN and is insistent on B10 rather than SEC.

VT/UNC/UVa/NC State are going to be a package deal
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/23/24 02:45 PM ET
Are those 19.5M people worth +$200M a year?
HokieDevil • 04/24/24 12:32 PM ET
In other terms, can one of the big 2 monetize $10+/yr out of those states??

From SEC perspective, why not take FSU, Clemson, UNC and UVa?

Do Uva and UNC bring the NC/VA college football market?
