hailstateunis Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Same thing last year for the C-USA. Southern Miss won and they haven't been publicly considered yet. Quote http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Anyone from the DC area know how credible Kevin Jones is? He seems dead set that GT and UVA will be Big10 bound come Monday.https://twitter.com/Mr_KevinJonesThe fact the major outlets are ignoring this should tell you everything you need to know. The Notre Dame move, the Rutgers/MD moves all happened fast but under cover of night and not with tweeters just throwing stuff on the wall in the hopes it sticks. But we're seeing lots of it.

thespleenenator Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 They also went 12-2 and won their conference last year.I'm just saying, I don't think they are going to be approached by any conference any time soon.

McCall Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Southern Miss will be one of the contenders for the 16th spot in the Big 12... after they raid everything salvageable from what's left of the Big East/Conference USA when all the other power conferences have taken everything worth anything.

The Notre Dame move, the Rutgers/MD moves all happened fast but under cover of night and not with tweeters just throwing stuff on the wall in the hopes it sticks. But we're seeing lots of it.I follow the same line of thinking. If memory serves, not one source has broken multiple realignment stories... At least not when it comes to the major conferences. I will continue to say that Georgia Tech is a mistake over Kansas State or North Carolina.

GFB Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Also, Notre Dame. I don't want them in the Big Ten-they wreck every league they are in solely because they are hellbent on looking out for themselves alone; their loyalties within the league would always be suspect; and they make unreasonable demands that would instantly cause the league to fly apart.Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're already in one of the safe power leagues, you are going to feel a decent amount of loyalty to the overall institution and marching to the same drummer. Unless you're Notre Dame that is. The Irish would want too many breaks for that to work out.

If you're in the Big XII and ACC, it seems like there's a very good chance you're not feeling too confident of the long-term health of your league.The ACC looked like a megaconference when VT, Miami and BC made the jump a few years back. Now, they're next after the Big East in one-time powers to be dissolved.And that's to say nothing of how much this is screwing college basketball (among other sports)... 2 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Big Ten, SEC, Pac-12)You could probably include the MAC. Since the last realignment when the ACC picked up BC, Miami, and VT, the MAC has only lost UCF (well outside the rest of the conference geographically), Marshall, and Temple (football only anyway, and returning to their old conference). They're still at 13 and I never see rumors about their teams going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island_Style Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The ACC and Big12 will battle for the last spot at the table. I got to say, I like the Big12's chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The MAC isn't a power league.Powerful no, stable yes. I honestly think Cincy should/could/would consider the MAC if they somehow wind up being left outside the Mega Conference expansion. That would be dependent on a Big East collapse though.

ESTONES6 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The ACC and Big12 will battle for the last spot at the table. I got to say, I like the Big12's chances.I like their chance better than say two weeks ago. Depends on what the B16 Ten is doing. The PAC 12 doesn't seem to be looking at much. I think they are hoping the OK/TX teams fall in to their laps. For the sake of college sports, I hope the ACC survives over the Big XII.

(Big Ten, SEC, Pac-12)I'm not even sure the Pac 12's a safe league. They aren't going to be raided, but if the Big XII becomes stronger than it already is, who is the Pac 12 going to add to get to 16? I can never see the Pac 12 adding Boise State or even BYU.
