If you don't have a problem being a member in a 16 team SEC instead of a 14 team one, then hopefully that is the extent of the harm. I think it SUCKS and this seemed pretty obvious to me last summer that eventually the ACC would draw the short straw. Nothing has changed people - get a clue!
I don't know if you're directing that at me, but I'm on your side. I was just playing Devil's Advocate on the reasons why Weaver stayed pat.

And, did we ever get an offer from the SEC in the first place?
