For the SEC, candidates will come from the ACC and Big 12.
1. UNC: market, fan size, inventory
2. FS: quality of inventory
3. Clemson: quality of inventory
4. Virginia Tech or Virginia : market, inventory
5. Miami: recruiting grounds, inventory
For the B1G:
1. Notre Dame
2. UNC
3. Virginia
4. Georgia Tech
5. Florida State
6. Miami
7. Washington
8. Oregon
9. Stanford
10. California-Berkeley
SEC:
1. Notre Dame (The are the most valuable so why concede them to the Big 10)
2. Florida State (They provide us dominance in a state of 22 million)
3. North Carolina (They deliver a state of 11 million and offer strength in hoops)
4. Kansas (They are the 2nd most valuable hoops program and 2nd in total value)
5. Virginia Tech ( The most competitive school in a state of 9 million)
6. Clemson (Most SEC like school and campus not in the SEC)
7. Miami (Monopolizes Florida and gives the SEC a presence in South Florida)
8. Louisville (Third most valuable school for all sports in this list)
9. N.C. State (If we must take a second state school in North Carolina they are it)
10. Virginia (If we must take a second state school in Virginia they are it. )
B1G:
1. Notre Dame (Most valuable school left, they complete the Big 10 like FSU does us)
2. North Carolina (AAU and same reason they are important to us)
3. FSU (their only good option in Florida as neither Miami or FSU are AAU)
4. Virginia (AAU and 9 million people)
5. Duke (AAU, huge academic add, strong in NY and NJ)
6. Washington (Top value in the PAC at #6 because SEC isn't interested)
7. Oregon (Third value in the PAC at #7 because SEC isn't interested)
8. Georgia Tech (Atlanta and bridge to Florida)
9. Kansas (2nd value in hoops, 2nd best value, but already carry most of Kansas)
10. Stanford (like Duke major academic addition, sports value low)
