I agree Clemson(and potentially F$U/scUM) is a more attractive football target, but does it bring much more TV revenue to the SEC? They've already got lockdowns on South Carolina and Florida. If a school doesn't bring $50+ million per year (or likely more) to the TV contract bargaining table, it doesn't make sense to add them. I think a Virginia school and a NC school could make sense to the SEC (and big 10 for that matter), but haven't seen an extensive analysis on it. It wouldn't stun me to one day see VT/NCSU in the SEC and UVA/UNC in the B1G, but it's really up to the TV executives.

Please. Kansas and Stanford haven’t gotten taken, but Duke and UVA will? -- hokieZ71 Jul 10, 2022 at 07:57 PM ET

So NCState who hasn't won the ACC since 1979 is more valuable. ** -- LocalExperts Jul 10, 2022 at 06:41 PM ET

Agree - not sure saying Duke is more valuable than VT makes sense -- VPI_1998 Jul 10, 2022 at 07:54 PM ET

Liberty is more valuable and has a better chance to join the SEC -- LocalExperts Jul 10, 2022 at 06:43 PM ET
