Why would Florida, who already loses recruits to FSU, Miami, etc, want to risk facing them head to head each season? Plus, in terms of current conference expansion thinking, those schools don't bring anything to the table in terms of new TV markets and revenue. That is why TAMU and Missouri were appealing to the SEC, the Texas and KC/St Louis TV markets are means big bucks for the conference.</blockquote>
