[QUOTE="Purp, post: 3164466, member: 12852"] One question... If ND goes to the B1G and then U Dub, Oregon, and Stanford follow, what can the SEC realistically add that could compete with that? We're talking about 2 major conferences after all is said and done, but I'm not so sure UNC, Clemson, FSU or anything else in the ACC could add much to the SEC bc they've already penetrated and own all of those areas. Could we more realistically be looking at 3 different conferences in 3 different tiers? Sure, the SEC is widely viewed to have the best football teams so they wouldn't be left out of playoff inclusion, but they wouldn't be able to get close to the payout per school that the B1G would be getting in this scenario. It would seem more likely that the SEC doesn't add anybody in response bc the schools that could add real value are already in the B1G. What would make more sense, if I'm the SEC, is to get really aggressive right now. Nobody in the ACC really adds value, but maybe Oregon, Stanford, U Dub, and ND do. Then the SEC could supercede the B1G in payout per school. Just spitballing here, but it seems like the SEC would be the biggest loser letting the B1G make all these moves uncontested. I could see the B12 being almost as big of a winner if they add 4+ Pac schools. If the B1G snipes some ACC schools like Clemson and UNC then the B12 wins even bigger with 4 PAC schools and 2-4 ACC schools. Unlike the SEC, they'd have multiple institutions in 3 or 4 time zones that could compete directly with the B1G all day every Saturday. And more of those match-ups would actually be good games than what the B1G would be selling. [/QUOTE]
