They could potentially be competitive, but the idea that you will get BIG or SEC media money at this juncture is day dreaming. The answer, in my humble opinion, is the PAC, Big12, and ACC join forces, and negotiate a media deal together. If the top remaining brands leave, that's on them, and there is no way anyone can stop them as long as the networks can pit one conference against the other. Keep the auto's for the playoffs, as that is where the power will be moving forward. VT is a good program that should be included in the P2, but so is Oklahoma State. There isn't a guarantee that your school makes the cut, whether they deserve it or not. Expanding to 14 got you BC, Cuse, and a couple of others that don't bring home the bacon. Jury is out on the Big12 expansion, but at least they have stability. ESPN and FOX have spoken loud and clear - they are NOT going to give every team Bug10 or SEC money.
