I think it could be done and still preserve dedication to academics--- the public Vanderbilt, so to speak, with a state university fan base.
I have heard from some coworkers (WVU guys) that the Big 12 is looking at FSU and Clemson about possible membership. If they jump I say we definitely go to the SEC. I personally would prefer the SEC anyway because our increased recruiting and revenues would make us more of a power in our home recruiting area.
