Here comes the 2 super conferences.

 

[Killdozer]

If true, this will put a hurt on the PAC12. They will have to go after the bigger teams in the BIG12 like Baylor.

Here comes the 2 super conferences.

If they want to be "True" super conferences then they need to get rid of the dead weight...ie: Rutgers, Vany, etc...

Beat me to it, saw that. Not sure what to think.

I don't expect the BIG or SEC to stop there

Agree

 

[Bayside44]

Yeah he's a real person, not the usual WV types that run this stuff.

 

[elimunelson]

Wake me when we're back in the Big East for hoops and some lesser football conf with our peers in 10 years.

 

[UpstateSM]

Great for the student-athlete experience for non-revenue sports!

Bunch of money hungry scumbags ruining what is left of college sports. This sucks.

 

[Orangefizz]

Agree

BIG and SEC both to 24. SEC/ACC and BIG/PAC merge. Leftovers from ACC PAC merge with B12

Likely less than 6 years

ND must be irate because they've been checkmated into probably joining the Big 10 with their kissing cousin USC at home there now.

Buckle up, we're going to see some real turbulence for the BC/Syracuse/Pitt type schools now

At the very least IMO you need 4 Western teams. If USC/UCLA left then I am sure Oregon and Washington would follow. Might as well take Arizona, Colorado, Utah too. Then just add Kansas to get an even number of teams.

I have said this before it makes a lot of sense for the B1G to have:

Northwest- Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Cal
Southwest- USC, UCLA, Utah, Arizona
Great Plains- Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa
North- Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Illinois
Great Lakes- Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana
East- Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland

Then you can pick off the ACC and get to 30/36 teams.

UCF (FL)
Miami (FL)
Tulane (LA)

The ACC and Big 12 should immediately combine as 1 conference starting next year.

They should dump Rutgers/Maryland and add Oregon/Washington.

All the PAC candidates are members of the same elite academic club

If the B1G added ND, SU, BC, Pitt then they would control every state on the North and West. At that point the Southern ACC schools would be forced to chose B1G or SEC.

 

[UpstateSM]

Colorado and Utah would make sense in the Big 12. Especially with BYU heading there.

They would gladly join the B1G (CIC and AAU) to leave behind Arizona State, Washington State, Oregon State.

Under this model the SEC will pick off seven or eight ACC teams to get to 24 members.

 

[N.Y. Orangeman]

As much as I love the ACC, we may need to hope that channel to the B10 is still open...

 

[Madbiker]

So where are Clemson and Florida State going?
