It does. They picked up something like 15,000,000 people. I tend to think that their footprint is a mile wide and an inch deep wrt to new schools, but the money all spends the same.

Probably more UNC than Duke. (even then, I disagree, its gotta be FSU) Duke would probably go wherever UNC went if UNC demanded it and the inviting conference said OK.

North Carolina is the one and only crown jewel. Duke could end up scrambling for a home.

That is false. I agree regarding Duke, but FSU is clearly the most valuable school in the conference. Its just a grudge and a quirk of history with the SEC and the B1G's peculiarities keeping them out of those two conferences.

Not a chance. FSU isn't even the premier program in it's home state. There's a reason that the SEC and B1G are competing for UNC while FSU is lobbying (and failing) to get in.

Agree with this, but UNC isn't going anywhere with Duke, and there's no way that the SEC wants any part of Duke.

I don't understand this. Everyone says that, but why would there be a political connection between a private, elite school and the flagship public university? NC State, I believe, is actually a branch of North Carolina. If UNC is looking out for anyone, it seems like it would be them.

All things being equal, FSU would obviously get the nod over UNC. All things aren't equal because UF/UGA/SC will block. Hypothetically, if UF did not exist, FSU would have been a member of the SEC years ago.

Agree. Despite what some might think, football is where the money is overall, but Duke and UNC are both anomalies in basketball revenue. They bring in $26 mil and 20 mil respectively, compared to only $19mil for FSU football.

Florida State is a second tier school in its own state in terms of popularity, is marginal academically, and has a strong football past that was all under a coach who left amid scandals. They are still a solid get, but they aren't in the same league as North Carolina. That's why UNC drives the conference, and FSU just grumbles about it.
