RE: Vanderbilt
The best solution BBB is none of the above. It would be the following:
A new conference of Private School Athletic Conference:
East: Army, Boston College, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Temple
South: Duke, Miami, Navy, Tulane, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt
West: Air Force, Baylor, S.M.U., Rice, T.C.U., Tulsa
******************************************************
Big 10 East: Connecticut, Ohio State, Indiana, Purdue, Rutgers
Big 10 South: Maryland, N. Carolina, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Virginia
Big 10 North: Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Big 10 West: Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
******************************************************
SEC: North: Louisville, Kentucky, Tennessee, Va Tech, W.V.U.
SEC East: Clemson, Georgia, Ga. Tech, N.C. St., S. Carolina
SEC South: Alabama, Auburn, Florida, F.S.U., Mississippi St.
SEC West: Arkansas, L.S.U., Missouri, Mississippi, Texas A&M
*****************************************************
PAC North: California, Oregon, Oregon St., Stanford, Washington, Wash St.
PAC South: Arizona, Arizona St, B.Y.U., U.C.L.A., U.S.C., Utah
PAC East: Colorado, Kansas State, Oklahoma St., Texas, Texas Tech
That's 76 schools accounting for most of the academic elites as well as most of those worthy of making a power conference. The only one I see hanging would be Cincinnati.
