I'm not one to support "trading" VT or any other university out of the ACC, especially for nonsense like UCONN or Tulane, but I wouldn't oppose the trade mentioned by JR, provided that VT & NC State don't object. Bringing in Texas, Oklahoma & ND would definitely raise the profile of the ACC. I would trade TT for Houston though if possible.

I would prefer the earlier mentioning of placing Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas & Iowa State into the SEC & Texas, TCU, WV & ND into the ACC over the above proposal.

There's plenty of ways to do it.

I just don't think the SEC should facilitate Texas into the ACC unless we're getting something in return.

For us, the OK schools, KU, and ISU isn't really a bad deal. I don't want to take Texas Tech though just so the ACC can have Texas. I don't see that we have any motivation to do that for one.

IMO, we wind up with one of these three in order of preference: Texas & Oklahoma; Oklahoma & Oklahoma State; Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State; T.C.U. and Kansas.

I think we would prefer to move to just 16 and that the only 18 school scenario we would consider would be one that landed both Texas and Oklahoma.

I didn't think that the SEC or ACC wants TT & Im sure that A&M would prefer to be the lone team from the Lone star state. Oklahoma & Oklahoma State gives the SEC everything they need in penetrating Texas & complements A&M well. Kansas complements Missouri & enhances SEC basketball. Iowa State adds a good athletic team with a passionate fan base in a new market.

I'm still intrigued by Nebraska going to the SEC, they would complement the Oklahoma schools & A&M. I think the Cornhuskers would have a better chance at rejuvenating their brand in an SEC with Oklahoma than they would in the B1G. Let Kansas & Missouri go to the B1G while the SEC picks up Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Iowa State & either Kansas State or another Texas school (TCU, TT or Baylor). Or stop at 16 & leave out Iowa State +1. UCONN can be #16 for the B1G. ACC goes to 18 with Texas, TCU/Houston, WV & ND.

Nebraska would have to want to leave the Big Ten. But if they did, a nice pickup would be OU, OSU, Nebraska and Kansas for the SEC.

That would make for an excellent SEC western division @ 18.

Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Kansas, A&M or Arkansas
