I believe we go to Big10 in the distant future. I WANT to be in the SEC. Those teams will draw crowds more than the lower half of the Big10.

Yep, because Mississippi State or Kentucky coming to town is so incredibly great. I'll never for the life of me understand why our fans love the SEC so **** much. We aren't a cultural, academic, or even athletic fit in the SEC. The only thing we truly fit in the SEC is geography.

Being the B1G makes sense for every other reason, outside of geography and even then, we are an east coast school, that happens to be located in the South. Our alumni base is heavy throughout B1G country, especially in DC and NY. Any trips to Maryland, Penn State, or Rutgers will be extremely popular with our alumni base. We will also do well in playing schools like USC and UCLA. We have existing beef with Ohio State, Nebraska and Penn State, so those games will be very easy to market. It's very likely that FSU would remain an OOC game if we were to be in separate conferences, so we wouldn't even lose that game.

This. I hope we never go to the B1G, and if I we do 90% of the idiots voting for it will wonder why we struggle to recruit in the south anymore.

We are pulling recruits from Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana… SEC is our destination.

Miami can recruit ANYWHERE, regardless of conference. We aren't Nebraska, where they don't have a local recruiting base and desperately need to be in a conference that allows them access to talent.

Why would Mario favor the SEC?

Right! I don’t think UiF wants any part of us in the SEC, and that will be the hang up. Besides we offer nothing as far as geography because they already have the Fla market. Now…. surrounding a SEC stronghold by getting us and fsu could possibly be seen as very attractive to B1G conference leadership. Maybe too big to pass up, even if it’s just us. I would hate the travel, but love the money.
 
It really doesn’t matter what P2 we are in but I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be a uniform ending 👀 Cats was so set on Adidas this, Adidas that, Adidas done deal and WHAM! Nike…yup, B10 this, B10 that, B10 done deal and WHAM! SEC.🤨
 
Is this poll a prediction or what we prefer?

If its a prediction id say big10, if it’s what i prefer id say sec…Overall im for wherever the most money and spotlight is, but for football fan purposes only i think the sec is a much smoother transition because of recruiting and travel

But i also think we would spank alot of those big10 teams lol, we would be a tier1 team in either conference but we immediately are top3 with osu /indiana easily.
