got me thinking. So I pulled up a google map of the US and mentally places the Big 2 conference footprints on it. What stood out to me is the Big and SEC own or have a presence in every place east of or on the west side of the Mississippi excepting VA/NC and New England. I think most would agree that Boston has proved it is not worth pursuing so the only thing the ACC has is VA/NC and are in the fight for SC and Fla. And if we want to be honest, NOVA (MD/PSU) and Virginia beyond the NRV(Tenn) are already under the influence of the Big 2. That really leaves only Richmond/757, the Triangle, Greensboro/WS and Charlotte. Forgetting all things past, who is achieving, underachieving and overachieving. Forget it is about competitive college football and thinking like an advertising person rather than a school/football fan. Think like the advertising source or money thinks. It is market share and profit that drive the bus, What would you do? Forget the previous expansions where the idea that specific schools brought regional and local markets to the league. That is pretty much dead. It is all national now. It is all about the grouping of teams the advertisers want to market their product with. Not even the Big 2 leagues have the power, it is the biggest name teams. So thinking like that and looking at that one market of Richmond/757/Triangle/Charlotte how would you put that market area within your footprint? Factor in the initial horror by fans and banking on the belief they will come around to your only game in town. What would you do? What do you think the ACC could do to stop you?
