If you look at recent additions the 2004 ACC scenario hasn't been replicate

In 2004 VT was a state school in a state that was represented in the aggressor and victim conference. The closest we've come since was potential harm done to Texas Tech by Texas A&Ms vote. If you look at the ACC/SEC overlap you have Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kentucky represented on both sides. This is why I feel like the next SEC expansion could be large. There will be a lot of in state pressure not to gut the ACC and leave the fellow state school stranded. Going to 24 in one expansion would be unprecedented but it would be the way to acknowledge if you break it you buy it.

Not exactly accurate......

The key for equal revenue sharing was Wellington Mara of the NY Giants

The P2 probably needs 60 senators to get this approved and after it

Campus wise it’s not really a big school.

They are public, but I don't think there's any way for GT to viably compete
