[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 129566303, member: 1476506"] Not with any school not already in the ACC, SEC, or B1G, cause every other option totally sucks (let me count the ways) and makes the SOS rating and my fan interest meter plummet faster than the Dow Jones in the fall of 2008. And even then with schools already in one of those conferences, I'm not a fan of expansion. I like round robin play and seeing the same 9 conference opponents. I'm open for a football championship game with 10 schools by taking the best 2 at seasons end and playing for an outright title if they want to, even though when the playoffs expand to 8 this conference won't have to worry about ever getting left out. I am also not sold on a conference TV network either. The SEC shows "SEC storied" more than any meaningful games & that "Book of Manning" narrated by James Earl Jones, ugh John Goodman is the most worn out piece of revisionist history I've ever seen. And the B1G network is a worse display of programming than the SEC network. Given how technology (Netflix, Hulu, Internet broadcasting, etc), is costing regular TV subscriptions and the loss of subscriptions to ESPN, conference networks may not be here for the long haul. Options mean the consumer isn't forced to pay for crap they don't watch. I can only hope the kibosh gets put on this expansion insanity. They're gonna screw it up. [/QUOTE]
