"Dinich: I feel like we're throwing darts. What about South Florida? I mean, what in the world did the Big Ten get out of Maryland and Rutgers besides geography and markets? What exactly is the priority in expansion? "

Hooray...lol.

I kind of feel as if the BIG12 just isn't the right fit. Sure the money is good and of course we would go if offered. But there is a part of me hoping that the BIG12 will snatch up 4 schools other than us and trigger the ACC to want to expand. I am not sure how the ACC would feel about adding FL schools without losing one of the two they already have, but then again they could dominate FL like the BIG12 dominated TX. If there were a choice between conferences I think we would fit a lot better with the ACC than the BIG12. And I am quite aware it is a long shot.

I'm with you.  I have no idea how this all plays out, but in a dream scenario, where we could chose either ACC or B12; I would take ACC every time.  Just seems liek the better fit.

If you read the link above, if FSU where to go to the B12, theoretically for some major TV deal, that would leave a slot. But that seems like it would def trigger some major waves in CFB.

Maybe, depends on how bad the big boys want to go to 16 team conferences. If ACC wants to get to 16 and the big 12 goes ahead and grabs at least 4. Lets face it No one from the PAC is joining ACC, doubt the BIG10 jump to ACC and SEC would be crazy to jump anywhere so that leaves us. Who knows maybe the ACC decides to be pro active and grab decent teams within their geographical reach. 

My choices would be ACC over Big10 and Big10 over Big12. The Big 10 option really hinges on how we are doing with our research grants which I believe have been improving steadily the last few years. So who knows how this all shakes out.

That's what I'm thinking.  Let the B12 get who they want (hopefully someone from the ACC), and then the B10 will scoop up some more from ACC (UNC / Duke), and we're in position for an invite to a conference taht makes more sense for us.

I'd rather be in the B1G or the NFL as long as we're dreaming.

Pick up squads formed by NFL players wouldn't likely route us
