Rumblings of the ACC expanding? Or are you guessing to expand if current members defect?
...well, sounds great, but... only if the ACC is still more or less what it is now, or at least 75% of current membership...
I'm leaning toward the 'guts' of the remaining PAC being 'absorbed' by the B1G and BIG12, and the 'remnants' join up with the MWC (perhaps retain the PAC moniker - or 'combine' ...'PAMWC'?
) -
THEN, the B1G and SEC (and perhaps the BIG XII for Pitt/UL) get enough ACC schools to leave-voting to dissolve the GoR (with much assistance from ESPN, of course), and the 'remnants' of the ACC join up with the AAC (becoming the AACC, perhaps?
)
...NEXT, the newly formed PAMWC and AACC merge into a mondo 'Gx' conference... PAMAACCWC
FINALLY, the SBC, MAC, and C-USA all merge in some fashion to form ANOTHER mondo 'Gx' conference... here goes - MACUSASBC
SO... left with FIVE Division IA (the 'FBS'-'FCS' monikers need to croak
) conferences -
SEC
B1G
BIGXII
PAMAACCWC
MACUSASBC
...all with 24-ish teams (24x5 = 120) ...so 10 or so programs will need to scramble to remain DI... of course, ND and the other indies can exist as-is, if they so desire...
That's it... ALL realignment boards/threads can be CLOSED - I've COMPLETED the final permutation for y'all!!!
