Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[charsibb]

My dream scenario would be for UNC, G.T. and UVA or any trio that does not include FSU or UM to leave and the ACC to pick up the last 3 BE. That would make great short annual road trips.

 

I like the way you think. Delusional, to be sure, but that is the best possible outcome!

@TuxedoYoda: Only way for the Big 12 to get to 16 without ACC schools: BYU, Boise St, UConn, Cinci, UCF, USF.

 

 

So we hope for FSU to stay or go ?? 

 

Yes!

 

Really, we hope for them to decide.  In that respect, FSU moving would get some things rolling towards a conclusion.

I don't think that scenario would bode well for USF. I can't imagine the ACC would want so much saturation in Florida.

 

Not to mention the idea that's been floated forever about the SEC, the so-called 'gentleman's agreement". I could see something like this applying in this situation.

 

Before some of you say, "But what about all the ACC schools in North Carolina?" Those schools were added into the conference when similar academic institutions within a geographical footprint were key. We all know this is about television markets at it's core and I do not see FSU and Miami, if both still ACC schools being too pleased about spitting tv sets (and possible recruits) with another in-state school.

 

I think the only realistic shot we have for getting in the ACC is if one, preferably both FSU and Miami go to another conference.

I vote for GT to stay ACC. Duke, UVA and UNC to head to B1G. Imagine a winter with road trips to ATL, South Beach and Tally, instead of Syr., NJ and Morgantown. Hallelujah, praise the lord.

That is what I'm talking about. We could eat at The Varsity every other year.

My guess is that you are most likely 95% correct in your reasoning, but as long as there's a chance.....

Like this guy?

 

[Cow Pie]

I have heard from three separate news sources that FSU to SEC, and USF/UCF to Big12 is all but a done deal... could be a rumor on one hand, or it could be the most awesome **** ever.

 

However just for violation and grins, what happens to our $$ if we leave... do we forfeit all of that dough we just got?

We all know how reliable your "sources" have been in the past.
