Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 54170, member: 57"] Everybody talks about 16 team superconferences. Why is that number a holy grail? The ACC can comfortably stay at 14. There is no reason to "force" an expansion to 16 if the last two schools aren't the right ones. They can afford to wait until the pressure builds on ND sufficinetly to join for all sports. If that doesn't happen Swofford has proven he will be pro-active if and when the need to go to 16 arises. The OU-Texas situation will eventually blow up the Big 12. Any other Big 12 school will be there for the taking down the road, so if WVU, UConn, and/or Rutgers lands there that will be far from the end game in terms of those schools. PSU in many respects is a better fit for the BiG. No reason for them to leave. ND could go either way if they decided to join a conference. Time is on our side, not against it. [/QUOTE]
