RE: Rumor-UConn and Cincy to ACC in 2018?
(04-01-2017 09:14 AM)Lenvillecards Wrote: Oklahoma & Kansas goes to the SEC. If they go to 18 then they take 2 of Oklahoma St, TT & WV.
Texas & ND as full members of the ACC. 2 of TCU, Houston, TT, Baylor & Cincinnati come along as well. What Houston, TCU & Cincinnati offer is a vote that wouldn't automatically go with Texas.
The PAC could expand with TT, Houston, Kansas State & Iowa State. The B1G would have UCONN & room for 1 more, who?
PAC
Arizona, Arizona St, TT, Houston
UCLA, Stanford, USC, Cal
Oregon, Oregon St, Wash, Wash St
Colorado, Utah, Kansas St, Iowa St
SEC
Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, A&M
Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Miss State, Kentucky
Florida, Georgia, SC, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, WV
ACC
Texas, ND, TCU, Baylor, Louisville, Miami
FSU, Clemson, Pittsburgh, GT, Syracuse, BC
NC, Duke, Virginia, VT, NC State, WF
B1G
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa
Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Northwestern
Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue, Cincinnati (?)
Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers, UCONN
*PSU isn't going to want to play a school w/ 15 years of fbs history in a small, off campus stadium built on a dump. They don't recruit out of CT, and they already have a game in the NYC area for donors every other year. UConn isn't getting a B1G invite like RU and UMD did.
*The B1G isn't going to undercut tOSU by legitimizing another Ohio school.
*Baylor and TCU don't add anything significant to the ACC.
*I don't think that the SEC would want to go past 16 - and that desire for 16 would come as a result of a push for a semifinal ccg for 16 team conferences.
*TT, Houston, KSU, and ISU don't add value to the Pac.
I could see Texas taking a ND deal w/ the ACC (and the ACC splitting Olympic sports into north-south divisions to minimize travel costs of minor sports and/or creating pods: UTex-FSU-Miami-GT/Clemson, Duke-UNC-WF-NCSU, GT/Clemson-UVA-VT-UL, BC-SU-ND-Pitt). I could see the B1G taking Mizzou from the SEC and OU/KU from the Big XII. I could see the SEC taking WVU, OSU, OU/KU
Texas Tech, ISU, Baylor, TCU, and KSU would probably invite Houston, BYU, Cincinnati, and possibly Tulane/Rice/Tulsa, and continue the Big XII.
UConn would probably join the BIG EAST.
