Regarding your argument about the ratings for Florida State going up if they play better teams, you can say that about anybody.
Not really. There's a reason we consistently play in prime-time games, against prime-time teams. That' doesn't happen by mistake
Yes, we're second tier
There's the OSU level with a handful of schools, and everyone else
My point is, you throw us in the B1G or SEC, we're right on the precipitous of Tier 1 (not at OSU's level, but a tick below)
Re. your assertion for worthwhile to expand encompasses revenue (true) and payout increases (true), would the B1G take A & M? I think most people would say yes
A & M's ratings, sans the Manziel years, are solid Tier 2
They've been in the SEC for a decent amount of time, yet haven't cracked the UT echelon, nor ever will
Additionally, the cable box angle that helped Rutgers get into the B1G a decade ago is now out the window
There's a few schools these leagues are looking at. Mainly from the ACC are you guys, us, ND and UNC
Not saying the rest don't have a chance to get in (not BC/Cuse/Wake), but those are the big fish right now
