and Clemson go, I think it will be to Fox/B1G. They already have Florida and South Carolina fans. It's not just ESPN, Fox is a player too. Fox likes to spread out, ESPN likes close geographical rivalries. Texas Texas A&M, Auburn Alabama, Ole Miss Mississippi State. Consequently, I think ESPN wants new states in the South. There is a reason that people in North Carolina and Virginia with power keep saying you get both or none, and that fits ESPN's model just fine. PS The Virginia Congressman and Women and Senators get together for lunch every month because of former Secretary of the Navy John Warner setting the precedent. The two biggest priorities are to protect our Military Bases and our State schools. North Carolina is very similar on the State School part, you don't hear anything but good things from either of their administrations. In fact I know as a fact that all four of them get along great, in spite of what some of the fan bases say about each other. ** Edited by Stech at 12/6/2023, 1:19:22 PM
