Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4297815, member: 2196"] There are so many things to unravel here 1- would adding new teams to the ACC really open up the GOR? That doesn’t seem correct, I would think they would have to agree to it to become new members but not something we know 2- a “super” conference will have 24-32 teams. With smaller “pods”. Which will be regionalized. People keep saying we will lose regionality in conferences but I just don’t see it. Imo they will be more regionalized than recently because of the small pods. The out of pod games would be like OOC games. 3- we CANNOT allow the Big 12 to get PAC schools. That would be very bad. At least now we are the number 3 conference. 4- people are saying we would need to add value to get more money. That isn’t necessarily true. We add 8 pac schools and 6 big 12 schools, go to 28teams. Create regional pods and divisions of east and west. That then cuts off expansion for now. Puts us at 28 teams, adds value, exposure all over the country and cuts down the P5 to the P3. It’s not the most powerful at the top, but it would be the deepest and largest population based conference. Obviously this would only work if the GOR stayed in place. Because of the regional pods and break of divisions traveling costa would not be that much more. 5- I think ND is never going to join. So kick them out, as long as it doesn’t affect GOR after one last invitation. If they say no. You add Cincinnati, WVU, Houston, Oklahoma st, Kansas, Arizona, Asu, Colorado, Utah, BYu, Stanford, cal, Washington, Oregon. That gives you 28 teams, 4 pods of 7 (regionally divided), you play 11 conference games. 6 in your pod, 2, 2, and 1 from the other pods rotating. They would be like out of conference games. And then each team schedules 1-2 OOC games each year. [/QUOTE]
