There is a poster on this board that told me that both UConn and UMass would make a bowl game this year. A combined 6 wins doesn't get you a bowl does it?Technically, UConn doesn't have a football team either.

If UMass and UConn scheduled to play each other 12 times every year then one or both could make a bowl game every year. How glorious would that be?There is a poster on this board that told me that both UConn and UMass would make a bowl game this year. A combined 6 wins doesn't get you a bowl does it?
If they both were to make it then they’d have meet for the 13th time in the bowl game. Someone would need to take home their annual trophy.If UMass and UConn scheduled to play each other 12 times every year then one or both could make a bowl game every year. How glorious would that be?

It's working for high schools.Maybe school mergers are the next phase in realignment?
When the UMASS starting QB went down, so did their season, I would think a Syracuse fan would understand that. UCONN, they still have a chance.There is a poster on this board that told me that both UConn and UMass would make a bowl game this year. A combined 6 wins doesn't get you a bowl does it?
Really? UConn still has a chance? That's your response? At least own it and admit they both suck this year and you misread it.When the UMASS starting QB went down, so did their season, I would think a Syracuse fan would understand that. UCONN, they still have a chance.
Yes, UConn is getting better as the season goes on, that happens with good coaching.Really? UConn still has a chance? That's your response? At least own it and admit they both suck this year and you misread it.
They did finally win a game last week at Rice, which I think was an upset.Yes, UConn is getting better as the season goes on, that happens with good coaching.
Just do it, get rid of the problem.Jim Williams, who is actually a fairly reliable source in the world of realignment, seems to be implying that the foursome of Tulane, USF, Wash State, and Oregon State may be invited into the ACC if they can negotiate some sort of very hefty financial exit for FSU, Clemson, and UNC. WSU and OSU are likely angling for the Big 12 or the ACC (but the ACC would probably have more incentive especially if there are departures).
He's not saying anything is done...i'm not trying to oversell something, but he is saying that there are some discussions happening and that these teams have all been vetted. I guess the theory is the 2 western schools help w football schools would help w football credibility and western scheduling, and that the eastern options are both strong academic institutions (and in the case of USF, give them a foothold in central Florida). Says there are some other schools on the list like ECU and Memphis that are also on the radar and have been vetted, but cites academics as a reason neither would likely be a top choice.

A lot of what you say makes sense.Reliable? He throws shite against the wall all the time.
Teams aren't leaving anytime soon.
ECU and Memphis would never get discussed.
Washington State and Oregon State make little sense. They are dead weight and short term thinking. If you must go West take Utah and Arizona State in 5 years.
I could see Tulane in 10 years but not now.
USF only if FSU leaves but that ain't happening.
Why expand now? There are 17 teams you can absorb some losses. Wait out the next B12 contract.

Article points to uneven annual matchups, like the Big 10. Maybe 10-15 protected annual matchups. At most that means Syracuse has two (BC and Pitt), which I’d be fine with.Does that mean 2 + 6? It must. That way you play everyone 3x over 7 years.
So random schedules? Going 2/6 or 4/4 is easier.Article points to uneven annual matchups, like the Big 10. Maybe 10-15 protected annual matchups. At most that means Syracuse has two (BC and Pitt), which I’d be fine with.
Also, if you're going Utah and Arizona State then go for UCF instead of USF. I don't think USF brings anything to the table.Reliable? He throws shite against the wall all the time.

Agree. Biggest thing I wanted here was relief from playing FSU every season. It is not a rivalry game and should be one of the first existing ‘rivalry’ games to get the ax.Article points to uneven annual matchups, like the Big 10. Maybe 10-15 protected annual matchups.

But split them! One home, one away.Agree. Biggest thing I wanted here was relief from playing FSU every season. It is not a rivalry game and should be one of the first existing ‘rivalry’ games to get the ax.
It will be interesting to see if we keep BC and Pitt. That would be nice for those of us that travel to football games.
