No, its not a unanimous vote. I think it requires 9/12 to add someone to the SEC.I assume then it has to be proven unanimously by other SEC schools? Because if it's a majority vote I can't see Florida wielding enough power to stop it.

FSU is a far more attractive program then VT. No way Florida could block FSU from joining.No, its not a unanimous vote. I think it requires 9/12 to add someone to the SEC.
VT would add more to the TV market but FSU would add more to the conference's prestige. I don't think Florida would try to keep FSU out anyway... they already have to play us every year anyway.

Yeah, I don't even see any good reason that Florida would oppose it. FSU and them are already on an even playing field for recruiting and I don't think that recruits really care about conference as much as they care about playing in big games, which they get to do at either school.FSU is a far more attractive program then VT. No way Florida could block FSU from joining.
You can say what you want, but playing in the SEC is a recruiting advantage all SEC schools have other other teams. The amount of tv time and publicity they get far exceeds every other conference. The sec inviting other schools has nothing to do with your views on how prestigious FSU is, it has to do with adding $$'s to the bottom line. FSU has to be able to bring in an additional $25 million in revenue to make it worth while for the sec, and they can't do that. You get no new tv contracts because of fsu, but you do get big time $$'s for Virgina Tech. You ever been to a game at Lane stadium? It's a pretty damn good atmosphere. I don't know the # for certain, but Va Tech has something like 30 guys playing in the nfl right now, that's not too bad. What exactly is a nerd school? Show me a school in the sec that doesn't have good academics....that's what I thought.
You are looking at this from a fan's perspective instead of what's best for the sec.....fsu adds nothing to the sec.
1. If you don't know what the difference between a "nerd" school and a good academic school is, then I can't explain it to you. FSU is a good academic school... but not a nerd school. The same can be said for South Carolina, Bama, Vandy, Kentucky, Florida, Clemson, etc.You can say what you want, but playing in the SEC is a recruiting advantage all SEC schools have other other teams.

2. The TV contracts are certainly part of the equation, but they will base their expansion decisions on other things as well.
3. FSU is a prestigious program. Only an idiot would say otherwise. It was a rough decade, just like it was for Michigan, Miami, and Notre Dame. That doesn't take away from a school's prestige, at least not by the conventional definition. National Championships, famous games, great players and coaches, etc. are what makes a program prestigious.
4. This is all speculation, we'll see what happens. I think that if the super-conference thing happens (which I hope it does) then it will be very interesting. I'm not saying that FSU will definitely be added to the SEC, but they will be part of the conversation (as they are every time the SEC expands.)
Because you don't know what you're talking about?I laughed.
