i think Troy would be an absolute shoe-in for the SEC
Without trying to disrespect Troy, I think there is a ZERO shot for them to get into the SEC. What would make you think this?

faudiehard, I'm with you on this one for the reasons stated previously, plus this one (which is no small deal): Snob appeal. To repeat: Deal with the SEC and you have to deal with snob appeal, as well as factors involving dollars, consistent performance, regular fan base, potential growth, breadth of successful sport areas, threat to other SEC members (in recruiting, contributions and loyalties) and so forth.
+ 1,000 other reasons. NO CHANCE!

They have the crowds, they have the tradition, they have the South Carolina rivalry and the geographic location. They have the "snob appeal".
I guess it depends on how well they show themselves against Auburn.

If anything, Clemson is a perfect fit for the SEC, not Troy.

Now that choice makes sense…

Re: I wish FAU played UCF this year
and the red sox will NEVER win the world series
and miami will NEVER beat nebraska in the 1983 orange bowl
and miami will NEVER leave the big east - they OWN it
and florida state will NEVER lose in the ACC - they OWN it
and rich rodriguez will NEVER leave his alma mater, west virginia
please… don't say NEVER over something as trivial as conference affiliation
clemson would be ill-advised to move from the ACC to the SEC… they are competitive in the ACC, they would be middle of the pack in the SEC…
troy would do it because it's a move UPWARD… clemson is already "in the big boy club"… why would they move from "hard" to "harder"??

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

2) Troy won't get the invite. They don't have enough to offer and they would struggle big time.
3) I like the Clemson idea that somebody threw out. That makes sense.
4) Georgia Tech also makes sense to make the move to the SEC.
5) I could even see Louisville making a move to the SEC. In state rival Kentucky would be in conference which would make the rivalry that much hotter. It would also open up a BIG EAST spot for FAU ;D
GO OWLS!!!
