Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1278698, member: 628"] I've gone through this exercise before, but I think the one shot we had at forming an eastern conference that would have been "our's", and not us needing to glomm on to the ACC, was the proposal that was floated in 1990. That was when Raycom tried to piece together a 16 team super league that would have brought together all of the major independents of the northeast and south. It would have included a north division of: Syracuse, BC, Pitt, Rutgers, Temple, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Cincinnati (Penn State was part of the original proposal prior to them joining the B1G) . And a south division of: Florida State, Miami, Louisville, South Carolina, East Carolina, Southern Miss, Memphis, Tulane.
