Who's number 16? I'd guess they would love to get into Texas if at all possible. |

Kinda bleh on GT being added. They do add a big market in Atlanta but it's another market that is largely not a college sports market. GT does fit the criteria of being a strong academic institution. You have to think they really really want UNC in all this but I dont see it happening. I could see pulling one of the UVA schools over. |

More reasons to get Goff on I guess. |

Makes a little more sense than Maryland, I suppose, but if the article is right and they follow it up with Virginia or BC...then it's kinda laughable. So the ACC will get ND and Louisville, plus a $105M in exchange for Maryland and GT? Plus, adding a 15th member has essentially screwed the Big Ten out of ever getting Texas, hasn't it? You can't get Texas without Oklahoma coming with them. |

They add nothing - you already have the token team from Iowa. The only Mizzou is coming is if they admit the SEC move was bad. Kansas might be a target. That I could see. |

Unless team #16 is Notre Dame or Texas, this is a huge mistake. UNC would be quasi-worth it. |

Isn't Texas making like $100 million from its own exclusive TV deal? They have no incentive whatsoever unless they are getting frozen out of a conference and I don't think that is happening. |

My bad, forgot that Mizzou is now in the SEC. I guess with the thought of trying to get new markets, I don't see why they wouldn't try to snag a Texas school. Maybe SMU? |

Mizzou bailed on the Big 12 to get their ass pounded on a weekly basis. Nothing will surprise me anymore. |

I really still see them trying to get West or Texas markets. They have an influence in Midwest, Northeast and Southeast markets now...in terms of TV's accessed. |

If the SEC decides to destroy the ACC then yes.The SEC and Big Ten are working together here to get rid of the competition. I'm still skeptical that this GT stuff is true. It doesn't make sense, but it can scare the other ACC schools into doing things. |

There was talk of Florida State and Virginia Tech to the SEC at one point. |

SEC has 14 teams, B1G - 15 with GT, PAC - 12, and ACC - 15ish (ND). There's 10 teams in Big-12, UConn and Cincinnati that can be picked. B1G doesn't have to stop at 16. |
