There is nothing we can add that strengthens our league anymore than it is now. 16 is a good number, how about we stand pat for awhile. You get to a point the product is watered down. I personally think we are at the perfect number. GBO

Adding UNC would strengthen our basketball

Personally, I would expand up the East Coast but keep it Southern - UVA, VT, WVU, UNC. Get the Baltimore and DC market.

What about Louisville and Miami?

Miami makes TV sense. And they can join the other FL schools (USF, UCF, FL, FSU et al) in splitting up the talent in the state effectively neutering themselves. lol

Louisville? heh

Do they sell lots of TV’s up there? I don’t think Virginia is a very big college football market, with a great chunk of the population being a bunch of DC politicians.

It's a market, just like NC. And there's a lot of people in VA outside of DC...

I’m not speaking about potential market. They do not have a great college football following in Va Tech or UVA. It’s just not that lucrative to bring said schools in to get their stuff pushed in by the SEC, in hope that more of their residents will want to spend money on college football.

Why not bring in Miami, FSU, or Clemson if you want money?

Look at the NIL spending. There is a direct correlation between the amount of money a program can generate vs the amount they can afford to spend.

I would agree with the UVA , but for a small foot print va tech has a lot bigger fan base than you are aware of

Unless Miami is great, they dont draw on TV. They dont fill stadiums.

You'd consistently make more $$$ adding WVU than the U...

The U was neck and neck with Duke on football viewership last yr.

I think they had a lot of Michael Vick fans who must have lingered for years. Aside from that, I doubt they would be in the top 50. (Only an educated guess)

I found an interesting graph from a Va Tech post on 247. Notice the years. TN wasn’t very good, but still in the top 20. UVA not in the top 60.

Miami is a terrible culture fit. Louisville is a better fit, but does it really add value to the conference ? Nobody wants to split the $ w/ a team that’s not pulling its weight viewership wise. They won’t be competitive. They were the ACC runner up last season and lost to UK the week before the ACC Championship. Also, their basketball program has been the worst in the country the past 2 years.

UNC is really the only team worth adding bc it expands the footprint and they have a huge alumni base . If you want to start thinking in terms of basketball you take Duke and Carolina bc it gives you arguably the best rivalry in football w/ Bama and Auburn and definitely the best rivalry in basketball w/ Duke vs UNC. You throw Duke, UNC with UK and that’s 6 major college basketball games
