Anyone know other SEC numbers?
I bet the city got hurt as well.
They spent +20M on their horrible commuter school football stadium. Basically, they are Memphis State and the SEC made the mistake of taking them in.
In a time machine to 1990. I wish the SEC had gone Texas and Texas A&M in the west and Clemson and Virginia Tech in the East
If we have to expand, VA TECH and NC State are who we want. They are the most compatible. Most importantly they would bring two state's TV markets with them. You won't see the SEC ever take two from the same state or one from a state we are already in. Our forefathers in Mississippi screwed up basically everything they ever did, except for us and the Confederate bastards becoming charter members of the SEC.
I do wish we could have got Maryland as opposed to Missouri. Better fit geographically and the DC area TV market is bigger and more influential. My understanding is we tried, very hard.
Maryland isn't in the southeast?
It’s not about Geography- Maryland is basically North East in Culture
The whole state is basically a $50 toll stop to drive to Jersey or New York from DC
They also have huge communities of Somalians and Palestinians, so it doesn’t resemble the Southeast very much
It's about TV markets, and only TV markets.
Then why do we have USCe that is the embarrassing little brother of Clemson and Mizzou that basically does not exist even in St Louis. To STL press, Mizzou is treated like a little League team at Williamsport. The Catholic HS rivalries are more interesting than Mizzou in the State of Missouri. Yeah, I lived in Missouri for a while too and for 18 months in South Carolina.
SC is great to live in.
The ultimate TV market teams in the NE and Mid Atlantic are Duke and Notre Dame. Outside of that, the sports fans follow Professional teams. Talking about crossing the South and North Carolina state line.
