Well, I guess a little levity may be appropriate...........

"Assuming the SEC or B10 agree to pay our exit fee or facilitates a trade, who is ready for a conference switch? In the ACC we are redundant to the revenue model but highly valuable to the B10, and valuable to the SEC. TAMU seems to have bloomed away from Texas and are able to chart their own identity."
Imagine a B10 division or of PODs of:
B10 SE
NC State
MD
Penn State
Rutgers
B10 Great Lakes
Ohio State
Indiana
Purdue
Illinois
Big 10 West
Kansas
Nebraska
Iowa
Minnesota
Big 10 Chicago
Michigan
MSU
NW
Wisconsin
Annually: MD, PSU, Rutgers Biannually: OSU/Indiana, Purdue/Illinois, NW/Wisconsin, MSU/Michigan, Neb/Kansas, Iowa/Minnesotta
OOC: Wake Forest Annually, UNC/Clemson/Duke - every third year, VT/UVa/Miami,GT/ECU/SC - every six years.
Or a SEC thusly formed
SEC Atlantic
Kentucky
NC State
South Carolina
Florida
SEC Iron Belt
Georgia
Bama
Auburn
Tennessee
SEC Gulf
LSU
Ole Miss
MSU
TAMU
SEC West
Oklahoma
Arkansas
MIzzou
Vandy
I'm not saying we can compete in football. We will need $50 million more a year for that and only $10 million would come from stadium expansion to 70K, and $10 million of so from SEC/B10 TV money causing us to need to up our donations $30 million a year.
What I see is that the ACC has no interest in assisting NC State in any manner. And with regards to the State of NC, we are third consideration. In the B10 we do twice for the B10 that MD did for the B10, and in the SEC we do twice what South Carolina does for them. We have a chance to become pertinent. Of course, the Chancellor and some of the BOT members will lose their jobs over such a move. But one can dream.
The real problem is that NC State is a defacto Big 10 type research school but with a SEC student body, fans, and sociology.
Where is Matt Groening when you need him?
