Days of adding team for certain state/regional market alone long gone. Now
More about quality viewership packages. It benefits the “conferences” to get quality packages of teams. Before we thought along lines of conferences not wanting to add two teams from same state because one of those schools alone would lock in those state cable subscriptions. Doesn’t really hold anymore IMO.
I think VT/UVA will end up together in BIG or SEC and same thing with UNC/NC State. I think it would be a huge pickup for either conference to add these four as a package. Brings together huge mid Atlantic following and perfect mix of quality football and basketball and fan bases.
