Go ahead -- design your dream conference. Feel free to post the realignment necessary in other conferences from your pillaging/banishment.


Atlantic Coast Conference
- Atlantic Division
--- Florida
--- Maryland
--- Miami
--- NC State
--- Wake Forest
--- Virginia

- Coastal Division
--- Duke
--- Central Florida
--- Clemson
--- Georgia Tech
--- Florida State
--- North Carolina

Notes: Puts the ACC football "old guard" of CU, GT, and FSU together. I don't want the Hokies b/c of their horrible fans and thuggish tendencies. BC just doesn't fit. Florida is a great swap that really fits better in the ACC than SEC. Central Florida in toss-up with ECU wins b/c they actually have played basketball decently at times, and they're investing good money in facilities.

Other realignment:
Iowa State to the Big 10.
Arkansas to the Big 12.
Kentucky to the Big East.
Memphis to the SEC.
Southern Miss to the SEC.
UGA to the firey pits of hell. :domokun:

As if F$U is any better.

Id like to see WVU in the ACC.

I didnt like BC at first but they seem to be a good fit to me. Arkansas would make more sense in the Big 12.

BC is a geographic nightmare. And WV does *not* meet the academic standards the ACC has set. I'd rather keep VT first.

And yes, having been to FSU and VT games, VT is indeed worse.

My Dream Conference



ACC:
Clemson
FSU
Dook
Florida State
Georgia Tech

Its been said a million times but BC is closer to College Park, than Miami is to Florida State.

As far as WVU's academics, you suggested ECU/UCF and US News ranks both as third tier institutions, the same ranking as WVU.

Ok, I'll play:

BIG EAST, 12 team league-

Coast:
Uconn
Pitt
Rutgers
Penn State
South Florida
Central Florida

Inland:
Notre Dame
Ucin
Syracuse
UofL
WVU
Boise State

It's never going to happen.................

But in my system, where UCF and Florida are added, there's two schools between Tally and Miami. Nobody is left on an island.

Also, UCF is a school of 40,000 people, and they're investing serious money in their system and infrastructure. There's a clear path of improvement. AD Steve Orsini was the asst. AD at Ga Tech, so there is a pedigree of experience with improving athletics and academics in charge now.

Thought this might come in handy for some of y'all:
