mad43dog Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 i think the nfl should only have 14 teams. Sort of like the 60s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The "40 NFL Teams" thread from the Sports Logos sub-forum has been merged with this thread. It seemed more fitting. Please try to keep realignment/expansion proposals limited to this thread. Thank you.

When you have two teams sharing a stadium like 15 miles away? And no way Milwaukee would ever be able to compete with the Packers for fans in Wisconsin.

jlog3000 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 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?

We're officially Packers territory in the NFL, and they'd never allow a team to move here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Milwaukee NFL team would probably be as irrelevant as the Bucks. Okay, maybe not to that extreme, but the state of Wisconsin is too hardcore Packers territory and most would never think of switching teams even if the Pack allowed a team in MKE soil.

Seadragon76 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Any of you guys a fan of NCAA Division II stuff? Anyways, I was wondering if you guys have heard about this new conference called the Great American Conference (a league within the West South Central U.S., specifically Oklahoma and Arkansas). Currently, this 3-year league consists of the following member schools (with the school year that school joined the league in parenthesis):GAC - East DivisionArkansas Tech University (2011)University of Arkansas at Monticello (2011)Harding University (2011)Henderson State University (2011)Ouachita Baptist University (2011)Southern Arkansas University (2011)GAC - West DivisionEast Central University (2011)Northwestern Oklahoma State University (2012)Southeastern Oklahoma State University (2011)Southern Nazarene University (2012)Southwestern Oklahoma State University (2011)Oklahoma Baptist University (2015, from the NAIA)I was wondering if the GAC would add fellow Oklahoma schools like these following:University of Central Oklahoma (from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association or MIAA)Northeastern State University (from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association or MIAA)Your thoughts guys?I am and I personally think that Oklahoma Baptist joining the GAC was a very bad idea. Yes, the location is perfect as it make the GAC equal (6 Oklahoma schools and 6 Arkansas schools).But, if I remember right... there's a rule that states you need 10 members in a conference. I don't know if that rule exists still, but I know of one conference that needs members: the Lone Star Conference (LSC). This league has 9 schools with 7 playing football (Cameron and Texas Women's are the non-football schools). McMurry, which gave up it's D-II bid to go back to D-III, will be in the conference for this season only as a football playing member.This is where Oklahoma Baptist would be welcomed in with open arms. As a football playing school, they can easily take the spot McMurry would have in 2015 (and beyond) and it gives the league an even 10 teams.As for UCO and Northeastern State (OK): I think they're happy in the MIAA. It's consistently one of the better leagues at the D-II level. Why give that up to be in the GAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Zephyr III Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You REALLY think that a Fort Worth NBA team is even feasible? Dallas hardly even supported the Mavericks until Cuban came along. If it's going to be another Western team I would think Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Kansas City, or even another California team like San Diego or San Jose. Even Biloxi or Louisville if you want to stretch what would count as a "West" team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Biloxi will never have a major sports team. Ever. But ditto with Fort Worth. Not a chance. North Texas is not a 2-team market.Why have the Jazz moved to Las Vegas yet the A's and Rays remain when they're in markets or situations of uncertainty and the Jazz are just fine where they're at? Did you really put any thought into any of this? And an NBA team in St. Louis, if that were to even happen, would use "St. Louis", not "Missouri".

I knew this was coming... First off, do you really think THIS is the thread, titled "The Pointless Realignment Thread", for that question? Second, I said "according to simply what I would want to see...Third, you know what, yeah, I do one day see Fort Worth with at least an NBA team. It wont be any time soon. It more than likely wont even be a decade from now. But maybe one day if this city. DFW isn't that far away from the entire Bay Area in terms of market size, you know.

McCall Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 And you don't understand what the "Pointless" means. It doesn't mean random junk. It was because people thought realignment ideas in general were stupid, so they finally created a thread for us and called it pointless because they think the thread is. It's supposed to be for posting and discussing, while not likely to happen, somewhat reasonable realignment proposalsIt's laughable ideas like this that ruin this thread for the rest if us.
