Pac-10 Expansion
I posted this on the WAC board so I thought I would post here to see the reaction, if any.

I've been bored this week so I decided to play the Conference Expansion game. What if the PAC-10 added BYU and Utah (or any two teams from the WAC or MWC)? Would it make sense to merge the MWC and WAC teams back together again? It would look something like this:

THE NEW WAC-14 ...say goodbye to the MWC

-Air Force
-Colorado St.
-Boise St.
-Idaho
-New Mexico
-New Mexico St.
-Wyoming

-Hawaii
-Fresno St.
-SDSU
-SJSU
-Utah St.
-UNLV
-Nevada

I think 14 is the magic number (balanced home and away games within division). I think this would be an awesome conference. Plenty of natural rivalries easy travel for fans and great for TV. Sorry LA tech...Sunbelt would be your new home. TCU heads back home to CUSA. IMO this would become the best non-bcs conference.

THE NEW SUNBELT-9

-FIU
-FAU
-LA Tech
-LA Monroe
-LA La
-N. Texas
-AK State
-WKU
-MTSU

LA Tech gets into a more regional conference, WKU finds a home, plus provides a balanced 4home 4away schedule.


THE NEW CUSA-14

-Houston
-Rice
-SMU
-UTEP
-TCU
-Tulsa
-Tulane

-East Carolina
-Memphis
-Central Fla.
-UAB
-Troy
-Marshall
-Southern Miss

Not a bad conference either. Don't know if TCU would want back in or not...I think Troy would jump at the chance to move up.

Anyway, I just wanted to stir the pot and see if anyone had any comments.

And La. Tech won't come back to the Sun Belt. And I doubt the Sun Belt will ever ask them back.

I like what SpaceRaider has said on the MT board. If there is conference realignment in the Sun Belt and C-USA it will be a complete mish-mash of all of the schools. A Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma league (11 or 12 depending on TCU), and a TN, AL, KY, MS, NC, FL league (12).

Southwest:
-LA Tech
-LA Monroe
-LA La
-N. Texas
-Ark. State
-Houston
-Rice
-SMU
-UTEP
-TCU
-Tulsa
-Tulane

Southeastern:
-FIU
-FAU
-WKU
-MTSU
-East Carolina
-Memphis
-Central Fla.
-UAB
-Troy
-South Alabama
-Marshall
-Southern Miss

Since its all theoretical, I'm not concerned about UNO and UALR. As long as the SBC exists as the SBC, UALR will be in it. UNO will be in it if they can get their sports rebuilt after Katrina.
