RE: Texas and Oklahoma to SEC? Dominos could have odu moving
It looks like most likely, Cincy and UCF will be taken. If only those two are gone, you might just see the AAC stand pat at 9, or add one to get to 10.

After those two, I'd say Houston is the next obvious pick. After that, Memphis, USF, SMU, and Tulane all have a punchers chance to get in.

I'd say, the further that the AAC gets decimated the better it is for ODU. Yes, the AAC loses a lot of its firepower, but a lot of that firepower will be concentrated in the western states, whereas the eastern states (who will be the ones deciding which teams get added) will remain.

Best case scenario for ODU, imo, is if 5 AAC schools go to the Big XII. that gives an impetus for the AAC to add 6 (to get to 12), many of which would be in the east.

Agree. Man what a sad commentary about CUSA if a decimated AAC still looks more attractive.

Its not "decimated" until Houston is gone too. Maybe Memphis too. Once they lose Houston, Cincy, UCF and Memphis it will be officially "decimated". And thats when ODU may have a shot... if we even want it then. Im inclined to think we would IF it got us some more regional rivals. If ODU, Charlotte, Marshall, Temple and ECU were together that could be the start of something pretty cool.

I know this sounds crazy, but I think all this moving teams and the players getting paid is bad for the sport.

Nobody at that level seems to care about the sport except maaaaaybe the athletes. Its all about money and power. The sport only matters as long as it is a means to money and power.

That makes sense, though I'm guessing BYU is pretty high on their short list. Though I suspect that even if B12 loses multiple teams to the P12, the remnant schools will try to reorganized under their banner with best-ofs from the AAC and MWC. I guess they could straight up dissolve but I think I remember hearing they needed 8 of 10 schools to approve such a move.

If Houston and SMU leave, that leaves Tulane and especially Tulsa out on their own. Do they try to rebuild the west flank (Rice/USM/LT/UTSA) or abandon it and double down on the Eastern Time Zone, in which ODU's fortunes improve? It'll be a fascinating process if nothing else.
At the risk of repeating myself from this morning

I believe that the ACC will add UCF from the AAC, and possibly South Florida if Fla State jumps.
I think (as proven with Louisville) the ACC would forego academics and will also add WVU.

Kansas, Iowa State, and Oklahoma State may go the the B1G.
Having then lost 4 or 6 programs, the Big 12 adds Memphis, Houston, SMU and Cincy - whether Ok State and Kansas jump or not.

This leaves a core AAC greatly weakened, but, except for Fla, more friendly geographically. Temple, Uconn, Tulane, ECU (football), leaving Tulsa the odd man out.
The AAC at this point must add to survive.
There are a lot of scenarios, but UMass, ODU, Marshall, Rice, Ga State, App State, Navy, and UAB, are all possibilities.
If UCF goes to the ACC w/o USF (I believe this to be a very strong possibility, even if Fla State stays) then one of FAU/FIU come into play.

Of course we have not begun to discuss the MWC, which could eventually be a stop for Wichita state and Tulsa

UCF is far more likely to go to the ACC than anywhere else

I think the hangup I have with a lot of Big 10 plans is that they're the conference that puts the highest premium on academics, so that take Okie St out. Iowa State is AAU but they've already got Iowa, and that's not a state where you need to double down your presence. Kansas is definitely the most attractive B12 program for them, horrific football notwithstanding, but do they go to 15 for them alone?

Weird how everyone's seemingly forgotten about USF when they were UCF-hot not that terribly long ago.

As a biased UCF fan, it's my duty to inform you that USF was never UCF-hot lol

They had flashes of their potential in the Big East, which was pretty impressive considering how young their football program was at the time. But during their 8 years there, their best seasons were 2 9-win and 3 8-win seasons. Yeah 5hey were ranked #2 for a week but they didn't even finish ranked. Never finished ranked, no conference titles, no BCS/NY6 bowl appearances. Their best seasons came in the AAC, 2016 and 2017 when they finished with 11 and 10 wins respectively, ranked 19 and 21, and a bowl win against a 6 win P5 team. Just like in the Big East, their 8 years of the AAC include 0 conference titles and 0 BCS/NY6 bowls.

In UCF's 8 years in the AAC, we've had 4 conference titles, 4 ranked finishes, 3 BCS/NY6 appearances with 2 wins.

I guess by "hot" I meant "buzzworthy" as in people talking them up as a possible call-up from the Big East as a big school in a growing area of a growing state that achieved surprisingly quick success just years after establishing the program. Then they were mentioned as part of the U*F twins with y'all, and now they sort of get perfunctory reference in realignment talks, more than Tulsa but less than most of the AAC. Most of the things that got people excited for them are still there, but the picture has changed for them.

AAC will use this opportunity to try to become a Power conference. They will try to get Kansas State, Iowa State, Boise State, etc. They will not be looking downward to UAB, ODU, etc. MWC, CUSA, MAC and SBC will be on their own and have to figure out whether they want to reconfigure.

Big 12, even in a compromised state, will have its branding, TV relationships and enough of a core to attract the best of the G5 to rebuild as a tweener conference. Iowa State and Kansas State will be in the same conference as Cincinnati and Houston but not the same one as Tulsa or San Jose State.

Pac-12 couldn't get support for Texas Tech and Oklahoma State when they were bringing their big brothers with; I can't imagine there'd be a lot of appetite to take the Marty Jannettys of their respective states on their own. The Cali schools would have a collective egg if they ever shared a conference address with Baylor.

The Big 10 would readmit Chicago as a nonscholarship program before it took West Virginia. They might take Kansas (though even that's probably a longshot) but unless Notre Dame or Missouri come along, I don't see them pulling the trigger.

Kansas may be the only attractive school to a better conference. Even if they find a liferaft, the other seven schools' best hopes are to stay together (yes, including West Virginia) and do what they can to rebuild with two to five of the best G schools they can find.

From ESPN

Sources said the Big Ten likely would only consider schools that are members of the Association of American Universities, a group of top research institutions that matters a lot to Big Ten presidents. Every Big Ten school but Nebraska has AAU membership, and Nebraska was in the AAU when the Big Ten pursued the school in 2010. Texas is an AAU member but Oklahoma is not. Other than Texas, Iowa State and Kansas are the only other Big 12 schools part of the AAU. There's strong AAU membership in both the Pac-12 (Arizona, Cal, Colorado, Oregon, USC, UCLA, Washington)

Yeah, this is true. It was reported earlier in the year that Oklahoma and Texas reached out to the B1G but Oklahoma’s lack of AAU status was the dealbreaker.

RE: Texas and Oklahoma to SEC? Dominos could have odu moving
When all the final dust settles and this realignment is over barring unforeseen circumstances, after listening to all the rumors, I see the fans getting what they want ODU in the american, a watered down version with probably temple,navy,umass,east carolina,south florida,uab,charlotte,southern miss,tulane,tulsa,rice or marshall. Some sort of mix. I'm hoping for an eastern version. Maybe a vcu or Dayton hook-up somewhere. We will see.

That’s the best case scenario for sure. I’m afraid it’s looking more like we either get stuck in CUSA without Marshall, UAB and USM which is way worse than now, or go independent. If Independence means we are in the A10 then I’m all for it, it if means we are back in the CAA or SoCon or ASun then we are in serious trouble.

Some sort of mix. I'm hoping for an eastern version. Maybe a vcu or Dayton hook-up somewhere. We will see.

That’s the best case scenario for sure. I’m afraid it’s looking more like we either get stuck in CUSA without Marshall, UAB and USM which is way worse than now, or go independent. If Independence means we are in the A10 then I’m all for it, it if means we are back in the CAA or SoCon or ASun then we are in serious trouble.

The problem is that there is no impetus for the A10 to take another Virginia program. GMU and VCU were added as a result of the Big East reformation and in large part, because of their Final Four credentials. The landscape surrounding the A10 is fairly stable right now and ODU offers no such past history, and only a modicum of recent success.
Likely there would have to be a significant upheaval in the A10 for that to become a possibility.

ODU football would NOT survive as an Independent for any length of time, and there is no guarantee that a geographically compatible FCS conference would consider a football only add.

Can someone explain to me why Texas and Oklahoma leaving in the Big 12 effects all of college football? In all honestly I see Texas and Oklahoma being the Tennessee and Arkansas of the SEC.

Yup. While helping ESPN save more of it by getting rid of an entire league through a set of chess moves.

Texas and Oklahoma to SEC? Dominos could have odu moving
Texas hasn’t been great in awhile but I expect Oklahoma to be competitive. Maybe not Alabama level but nobody else is at that level either consistently. Texas certainly has the resources to get there over time with the right coaching and administrative personnel.
