    >>>>>what kind of recruiting would navy bring to help the rest of the league? None. What kind of TV revenue? None. This isn't even a viable option.

    The Army / Navy game draws a nice sized T.V. audience. It has history even though both schools are not major football powers any longer. Many people watch it even if they have no ties to the military. Recruiting convenience due to locale is very outdated. Miami is a remote city being on the tip of an pennensula as they are and they have no problem getting kids from all over the country. It's about the program, not the geographical area anymore. Agian, UNC and Duke made concessions to let these 'athletics over academic' schools into the conference and they will not allow another 'jock' school in just to appease the FSUs, Clemsons, and NCSUs of the ACC.

    Will Navy be considered? Probably not, but that because it makes good common sense and not sports superiority sense.

    Florida!

    They want Miami and FSU as conference rivals.
    They want the basketball competition.
    They want the "Olympic" sports improvements.
    They want the "academics" - Wake Forest, Duke, Ga Tech, Miami, UNC, Maryland, NC State versus Mississippi, LSU, Arkansas, Mississippi State, USC, Alabama.

    They want the THREE spots the ACC would provide in BCS!

    Actually, they hate playing Miami, but that's with a hard SEC schedule. I think the rivalries with Tenn and UGa beat what they would get with the ACC. They play Fla St anyway. I bet the SEC provides the Olympic sports too. I doubt anyone is leaving the SEC. Its the top sports conference in the country all around.

    I would disagree that the SEC is the top sports conference. I don't have any stats handy so I could be wrong, but from my somewhat biased perspective......

    Baseball: The ACC hands down best in the Country

    Soccer: ACC over SEC, maybe not others

    Golf: The ACC hands down best in the Country

    Football: With Miami and Va. Tech, ACC is an equal to the SEC

    Basketball: Some years SEC, but overall, comparable

    I would be suprpised if the SEC can compare to the ACC in overall collegiate national championships and overall end of season ranked teams in each collection "olympic" sport. Maybe, but I would be surprised.
