I think the Jaguars & Buccaneers have good uniforms... A few tweaks here and there and they'll both be top 15 uniforms.

You guys have to start identifying the hockey players.

Absolutely...been a problem throughout the thread. Hockey is not as popular as the three major sports. Soccer players...forget it.

Hockey is a major sport.

but not everyone is familiar with the players

What would happen if Maryland hadn't decided to join the Big TEN (B1G) and chose to stay in the ACC? Would Rutgers, Louisville, West Virginia, Cincinnati and UConn followed the footsteps like Pitt and Syracuse did to join?

No, because the ACC doesn't need to expand.

If he was talking about the SEC that would surely be welcomed and acceptable correct?

I feel like all but Rutgers would join the ACC

I think an all black Jaguars helmet with a thick gold stripe would look nice or a black helmet with gold stripe and small teal trim would look nice as well.

There's way too many problems with yours...

1. I don't think Philadelphia and Boston could maintain two MLB franchises each

2. There shouldn't be 2 Dodgers and 2 Athletics franchises

3. TOO MANY DAMN EXPANSION TEAMS

Other than that you're good

In light to the recent Tony Stewart incident... Some are saying he may have raced his last race as he could be facing jail time... With that said... Haas could discontinue partnership with Stewart ultimately leaving the door open for Dale Jr to take his spot creating Jr-Haas Motorsports. The lineup would be:

4- Kevin Harvick

9- Chase Elliot

10- Danica Patrick or Kurt Busch or Regan Smith

88- Dale Jr

For the NASCAR Enthusiasts:

Sprint Cup Series team changes in 5 Years:

Major Changes:

Greg Biffle goes part time

Dale Jr brings his racing team up a level

Possibility:

Dale Jr explores possible merger with Stewart-Haas eliminating 10 car operations & 7 car operations from their respected teams.

Two things that I think should be changed about your idea:

-Both leagues need to be equal... NOT 14 in AL & 16 in NL

-Interleague play is a must... Gives each league a taste of the other league and provides a way for managers to challenge themselves with lineups

Other than that it's all good

Those are definitely better than mine I gotta say.

A B1G without Iowa or Purdue? Never in a million years.

well this is called the pointless realignment outpost isn't it

If the Big Ten was paring down teams they'd eject Maryland before tossing Purdue.

It would be pretty dumb if they tossed Maryland... Say this is 5 years down the road and Maryland is producing wins, attendance, etc and Purdue is in the basement like they have been. Who would you take? Maryland was with the ACC since the beginning and they chose to leave. Think of it like this... Would you take an aging veteran over a rising rookie? Chances are you won't.

*Most of this realignment probably has no possibility of happening, I just tried to make all the conferences even (sort of) and have the correct number of teams associated with conference name (Besides B1G because I couldn't find conferences to put some of those teams already in the conference*

Why rename the Grizzlies and not the Jazz?

I've always thought that Charlotte should be the the Hornets (like they are now), Utah be the Bobcats, and New Orleans be the Jazz.
