Sure, your point is valid that USF recruiting would improve (of course it would), but why would the "voting block" in the SEC go for that (SC, GA, FL, KY, A&M)? The "voting block" is the group of current single program states that wish to keep it that way and vote in unison. These programs might change their position for a brand like FSU that could add immediate value, but not for a USF.

Besides, the only reason USF's name is even discussed on this board is due to the fact that they were called up by the Big East. Could you imagine where UCF's program would be today if they were called up by the Big East instead? At least they have an on-campus stadium and one of the largest student enrollments in the south.

IMO there is little difference between UCF and USF. And outside of scheduling, there is very little reason for the SEC to expand. We'll see the strength of the GOR in 8-9 years and if the combo of Texas/ESPN/FOX decide to blow it up.

In this I agree with JRSec in the that the current P12 lineup might not provide enough value for FOX to maintain the contractual obligations to the B12. I definitely think some collusion between the two networks could occur in such a way that no one is left behind.
