I think FSU and VTech are close enough to AAU status they shouldn't be eliminated on academic grounds. I wouldn't say the same about Clemson however. I 100% think VTech is a better add than NCSt as well. probably add GTech above NCSt too.
I think best case scenario for B10 eventually includes ND and Miami as members. If they can get A&M would definitely be ideal for them as well, and I doubt any other SEC program really would be an option to steal. And FSU should get in regardless AAU status. Clemson is probably too far outside the Academic/AAU range to be a fit though. So like ideal for B10 imo is ND, Miami, FSU, and A&M. Let the SEC have UNC, Clemson, and whoever else they want. Maybe eventually B10 adds Stanford, VTech, TCU, GTech, or someone else if available...
