I know the Rambling Wreck used to be in the SEC. Like everything else for Slive and Company it will come down to money and they are looking to expand television markets but as an SEC purist from a Vol/Gator family (went to UT for grad school and have a family farm about 35 minutes east of Ben Hill/Hogtown) I would rather see GT.

FSU is interesting but I am surprised they are not trying to go after a North Carolina school, Virginia school, or even Maryland for the market expansion.

To me Clemson or North Carolina would be the ideal second addition. Can you imagine the rivalry in the Swamp and at Doak Campbell, if the UF/FSU matchup was all SEC?

It used to be that each state except Florida had two teams in the SEC.
Georgia: GT and GA
Alabama: AL and Auburn
Tennessee: UT and Vandy
Louisiana: Tulane and LSU
Mississippi: MSU and UM

Then we lost Tulane and GT.

Now we have twelve, but with the addition of two to four more schools, we would really be beating up on ourselves.
