I'm surprised Texas A&M isn't in that top tier.  They're not as big as UT, but Texas is a huge state and the Aggies still have millions of fans.

Yep, and Alabama is a "little" state with 2 schools listed.

Yeah we all know why Alabama's up there at the top, but I'm definitely surprised to see Auburn but not A&M.  Aside from any local fan bases, it seems like both should have picked up a similar sort of "halo effect" from playing in the SEC West through those years.

From those 18, the New SEC has 8 teams, the New B1G has 7, and then the ACC has Clemson and FSU, with ND being independent(ish).

The ACC will be assimilated.  Resistance is futile.

I was surprised to see Wisconsin, to be honest. It's a "smallish" state that is truly dominated by the Wackers.

Seems like nobody has been able to mount an attack on the GOR.  FSU keeps on making noises about it, and has been for 2 years now, but I have to think that if they really had a case, they'd be challenging the GOR right now.

True enough, I just don't think this one is going to erode nearly as quickly as a lot of folks assumed it would.

Their fundamental problem is that ESPN has their rights either way, so has no incentive to help spring them.  Only the B1G's TV partners would have any incentive, and it's apparent that for the time being, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

If FSU, Miami, UNC and UVA were able to somehow get out to the B1G, would ESecPN even want ACC rights anymore?

And then Clemson, NC State, and VT to the SEC (along with a XII school probably (oSu?)).

I don't know how many votes would be required to blow up the ACC.

I'm sure Stanford, Cal, Wake, Dook, Cuse, BC, Pitt, GT and Louisville would not be up for voting to implode.

Adding Stanford, Berkeley, and SMU just made it harder to disband the conference, if that were even a possibility.  I don't think anyone's getting out until the GOR assumed damages get small enough to pay your way out.

I can vouch for the Ohio one. It was one of my faves. 

I'll have to try the Vegas one.

AZ one is dead-on, and they're opening another location downtown.  The brisket and jalapeno grits are to die for.  I was brave one visit, as I don't like unspicy things to be made spicy, esp jalapeno-flavored, but they're delicious! 

You get 2 meats and 2 sides, so I get brisket x2 and those grits x2
