Maybe realignment is over for a while, and maybe it isn't. But if there is more movement I don't think there will be any leaks in the press, or any drama. It likely will come in the form of a final announcement of what conferences the Big 12 schools are moving to and then crickets. So when this train wreck has stopped tumbling off the tracks and the dust settles what triage issues do yo think will remain to be dealt with? Will they be relational as new schools slowly realize that they have no real history with their new conference mates? How will schools energize their alumni base under such circumstances? Will the preferred scheduling of old rivals in effect lock out some of the new schools from developing similar relationships between fellow conference school? What strategies in scheduling do you believe would be most effective and why? Are there other issues that you think will arise and if so what are they and how would we deal with them?
The Post Realignment World is coming relatively soon to most of the conferences so these issues will start to gain speed once the process is over. You don't have to limit your observations and comments to just the SEC. I think the PAC, Big 10, ACC, and SEC will all have some similar issues and all of them will have some distinct issues. I would like to hear what you think about each of them if you would care to comment, or at least just about the SEC if you are limited for time. Also, should the Big 12 survive what kind of long term issues might arise for them with the additions of T.C.U. and West Virginia?
I do think these matters will be at the forefront of our conversations in the not too distant future so let's get a leg up on them now.
