[Husker] A&M Jumps to the SEC on Monday

[David Strong]

Well, I couldn't speak about Clemson or FSU leaving the ACC with the same
surety as I did about Duke.  I suppose it could happen, but I'd have to
doubt it.  I have been trying to think what either school would gain by such
a move.  Both schools, if they had to pick one, would rather be good in
football than anything else.  All of the ACC schools make a ton of money
through their ESPN contracts and the ACC Network (formerly RAYCOM), so they
wouldn't be leaving for money reasons.  All ACC schools share revenue
equally, and historically the schools all get along very well.  It is also a
BCS conference (ugh) so there would be no step up there.  The football
programs would be moving to a tougher conference in the SEC thereby making
it harder to win more games.  I don't see a recruiting advantage to being in
the SEC, if anything the competition for talent is even tougher.  I'm sure I
am missing something.
