Increasing the AAU block would make a lot of people happy. KU and ISU wouldn't add as much economic value, but it would be nice to have more friends in the Midwest politically speaking.

Truly either of:
A. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech, or
B. Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech
would be fine. "A." gives us a monopoly of the state schools in the Texas/Oklahoma region of 32 million rabid college football fans and "B." gives us almost the same only with a new state and 3 AAU schools.

Either option means we couldn't be caught on content value and moving forward that's the ticket we want punched.

Not sure I understand your response JRsec*. Texas, Kansas & Iowa State are the only AAU schools left in the B12. Therefore, I'm not sure who the "3 AAU schools" to which you refer in your "B" option are (other than Iowa State, of course). The SEC presently has 3 AAU members (TAMU, UF & UM) so adding ISU would make a total of 4. Was that just a typo? Also, in the "B" option, if that doesn't include Texas, I'm not sure Texas Texas Tech + TAMU actually would give the SEC a "monopoly" on Texas schools, though it would of course increase influence.

That would be because I miscounted. But it would just be 2. But you've made an error as well. Presently the SEC has 4 AAU members (A&M, Mizzou, Florida, Vandy).

As to the monopoly I said it gives us almost the same (4 of the 5). The best approach monetarily would be to add option (A.) because that "monopoly" means that the SEC would get top ad rates for all regional broadcasts in that area. That would be a bigger boon than what we have presently in the East or West divisions.

(goes back to math class to relearn counting) 03-yawn

P.S. Thanks for the clarification :)

A side note if I may. The Texas/Oklahoma monopoly for advertising rights has an application to the Big 10. It is why Notre Dame is so key to Big 10 revenue enhancement. Their brand is strong enough that advertisers can pay less for rates to reach Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati, and other cities in the heart of Big 10 country. Add them and everyone has to go through the Big 10 to reach those cities on a Saturday in the Fall. That's a substantial chunk of change gained to close to that back door into advertising in your digs. Virginia or North Carolina would expand your markets, but Notre Dame would give you total control over most of them. And think about Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, and likely Pittsburgh as cities where N.D. gives the Big 10 added penetration.

So if the SEC was able to pull off this kind of move, acquiring N.D. would counter it to a large degree.
