[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129566351, member: 1484359"] The only way I would do it is to add one team only...for now. Keep the RR format that way. Eliminate the season opening creampuff everyone has on their schedule. Develop [B]that[/B] program and if that works then we can either expand again in 5-6 years or wait until the GOR is up. Benefits: 1) Keeps the schedule as RR 2) strengthen SOS without needing a CCG if schools are risk adverse 3) expand our footprint without making a huge financial risk since it seems like we would get a pro-rated bump for each team we would get (within reason). Obviously, that has been a major point of disagreement since no one has seen how that is written. 4) MOST IMPORTANTLY: LEVERAGE!! If we can build another top 20 program (or two) in the next 10 years, then it lessens the loss of a UT or OU and therefore helps our negotiations with those schools. That new school, even if super-successful, would always be indebted to the other schools for saving them from complete irrelevance. Drawback: losing a potential spot for a P5 team later. Since we wore a big fat cream pie on our face a few years ago with the Clemson/FSU fiasco, I'm not pumped up to wait for the "two in the bush" as I was then. Plus, we only would have 11 teams. We have plenty of room later for "the right teams." Soooo...who would my 1 team be? [B]UCF[/B]. One bad year doesn't ... 1) Take away what they have done the prior 5 years 2) Reduce their TV market size 3) Reduce their recruiting territory, which is the best anywhere 4) Reduce their student population...which is massive. My potential second team? [B]Cinci. [/B] Why second? 1) B10 and PAC12 don't want them. 2) Completely outside the SEC footprint. I know Mizzu is as well...but that exactly hasn't been a great asset for the SEC either. 3) The ACC is already catching enough heat for taking an academic lower tier school (UL) for the pursuit of $$$$. I don't think they want to go there twice unless it's an instant homerun program. Therefore they are going to be there whenever we would want them. This plan would work. I would not be down with any other plan that deviates from this. Anything else is simply expanding for expansion's sake. [/QUOTE]
