App State, Louisiana, Coastal, FAU Gets you back to 12 teams, adds some quality and another Florida school to beat up on USF.
Even though the new girl in the office is hot and flirting with me, I informed my wife that I intend to stay in the marriage
I know what you mean. Them leaving accomplishes what exactly? I think if the B12 was an actual viable on going conference that would make some sense, but since it is regularly iffy why chance it
Good. A G5 conference (or really a conference in general) spanning almost the entire country is insanely dumb.
Idk why people don’t understand this. I think UCF should’ve stayed in AAC also. B12 is losing Auto bid the second OU and texas leave
I don't know this is necessarily true. UConn playing OU in a Fiesta Bowl is something that happened a mere 11 years ago.
They've already said it will remain an autonomous conference. And we would be absolute morons to turn down an extra $20 mill+ a year while being left behind in a league without Cincy, Houston, and Memphis.
the new B12 will be better overall at football than the ACC or P12 and will continue to be a top 2 basketball conference. they’re not losing their autonomy status and if the playoff expands then it’ll get a team in every year.
i think you’re putting too much stock into the way things are currently and not looking at the obvious way things are trending. A breakaway league is coming very soon more likely the b12 falls apart and these AAC teams never join iyam
For that to happen, the Pac would need to take on at least 4 of the members, otherwise there’s no other landing place other than staying together.
they could pull 4 teams when the tv money makes them do it same thing why notes dame (and probably WV) end up in acc
other than fitting in geographically and the 16th team that makes sense for the ACC? Idk If they hadn’t joined the b12 they’d likely already be in the acc instead of Louisville the markets argument is a dumb theory at this point
them turning it down is my point. Why join a league that’s basically the same thing, but on the other side of the country? There are lots of other sports other than football who plays one game a week
Boise already learned from “joining” the BE 10 years ago there’s no reason to make the jump now. Who knows what happens by the time Texas and OU actually end up in the SEC
Just completely talking out of your ass at this point According to Brett McMurphy of CBS Sports, the university has seen the ACC and SEC reject their bids for inclusion in possible realignment. https://www.si.com/college/westvirginia/noncategorized/wvus-next-move-acc-or-big-ten
You’re proving my point for me that was in 2010 pitt and Syracuse came in 2013 Louisville came in 2014 had WV not made the love to the b12, they’d be in the acc and in a way more stable conference edit - and also not having to figure out how to get non revenue sports out to Lawrence Kansas on a Tuesday
both articles state that WVU was rejected by the ACC and SEC multiple times so the Big XII was their only option
ah yes the very stable ACC with its one good team, terrible tv deal, and all decisions made by basketball schools
The acc has a grant of rights, didn’t lose its two premier schools and replace with some old CUSA teams, and isn’t on the brink of collapse when a few more get cherry picked off over the next few years so yes, the acc sucks, but it is in much better shape as a conference than the b12
We’d still be better off than staying in the American. Even if the BigXII do lose that status, I’d still take the $20+ million more a year for however many years that takes and let the chips fall in the next round of conference moves
Members of a conference where wake forest is the best football team probably shouldn’t be diagnosing the P5 status of the other conferences.
