Map of Conferences

[Jeepers]

Thought it would be interesting to see how the conferences would look with opaque layers where the conferences overlap. Here's how it looks--solid color means the conference fully owns that state. Threw it together real fast, so probably some errors in there.

Being a visual person at the core, I love maps. And that map shows why the Pac12 is the best. I sincerely hope they go after their Big12 targets soon.

Added Long Island and the Michigan and Virginia bits.

Man, poor UConn.

 

[Opus]

Wow that shows how alone West Virginia really is.

For some reason I can't see the map you're referencing. But if one is into the contiguous states thing, the ACC is about a 2 mile sliver of northwest Maryland from pulling it off.

WVU is a small sliver of all of Kentucky and all of Missouri from pulling it off.

It looks like West Berlin, but with more meth and incest.

Uconn has Yankee conference written all over it.

Harsh. Funny though.

The ACC could pull off the contiguous thing by adding Cincy, if/when ND comes.

Nevada must feel like the entity in the lower-right quadrant of the Sesame Street bit about "which one of these doesn't belong."

Kudos. Great post.

Pretty sure that Colorado would like to be included in Pac12 map... yeah, it was a long day... and I don't drink, so I can't even blame that...

 

[Jeepers]

Colorado is there.

Which Colorado do you mean?

Why a major conference hasn't gobbled up UNLV for the sole purpose of having a conference hoops tourney there and shaking every booster down for oodles of cash while they ply them with chips, booze and prostitutes is beyond me.

Will always remember this post, when UNLV announces its joining the Big East in the next year...

Don't laugh...I'd probably still go to that Big East Tournament.

I have no proof, but I suspect it is the natural fear that the donors may gamble away the donation before the schools can secure the pledges. I could be wrong, but as I just rolled a seven...

So, just to clarify, the conference marked by white is the Big East, right?

Kentucky (via Lville) borders Indiana. No need for Cinci

What about the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? Firm Big Ten territory.
