I understand that you think they both will end up in a P5. However, I hope you will excuse my lack of reading skills, but I could not get it out of my head what you said in your first post....."the two (OU and OSU) don't have to stay together so long as they both land on their feet. That's the catch, and the PAC would constitute landing on one's feet"

Then in you second post you said...."so long as they both end up in power conferences they don't have to stay together''.

Some how I interpreted that to mean you were saying they both had to land in P5 conferences if they seperated.

That is why I responded that the way things now stand it no longer matters whether OSU lands in a Power conference or not, they do not have to stay together even if OSU gets left out of P5.

I am sorry that I misread your posts and I am glad glad we finally agree on this and you get that there is no catch.

I'll grant you my wording may not have been clear.

It's hilarious how UofL fans try to diminish Maryland. Maybe it's because you only got your ACC slot after they got promoted from the ACC to the B1G?

Maryland is the flagship of the richest state in the USA, and is a two-hour *walk* from the White House. Very good academics, and football and basketball teams with long legacies. Far superior to UofL.

Maryland isn't a "settle" for anyone, which is why they have always been in a power league.

Yeah, know how I know you're stupid? You just said Maryland has very good football and basketball teams. They don't. They were cellar dwellers in the ACC, and they're cellar dwellers in the B1G. I mean, I get it...if my only frame of reference was South Florida, I'd probably think Maryland was awesome too, but they're not. They're in the B1G for their market, not their actual on field/court products.
