I totally agree with SI article. Great markets. Great academic schools. Great Olympic sports. Provides ballast for when the other schools leave.
Schools that will leave someday - FSU, Clemson, UVA , UNC and Miami
Schools that would like to leave but may not have a better alternative - NC State, VTech, GTech
Schools to add - Navy, Army and perhaps Vanderbilt and Northwestern. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that these last 2 will tire of being tomato cans year in and year out for the leagues they are in.
It will be a prestigious league academically with great geographical markets and strong fan bases. I would be thrilled to have these as the weekly games that I look forward to.
