Division 1 College Conference Realignment

Recommended Posts

Boston College isn't coming to the Big Ten.

Also, the move to the Big Ten will allow Maryland to reinstate the seven sports that they cut over the summer.

Which as a Maryland fan would be dumb to bring them back right away. They need to look at this like an investment. They need to sink the extra Big Ten money into the revenue sports and get them to the point where they are producing enough revenue. The you can think about brining back and adding sports.

Nobody in the Big XII is leaving. The media rights contract is cost-prohibitive.

I know. I just like to stir the pot. Virginia and Notre Dame. Then I consider the BI6 done. An East Division of Penn State, Maryland, Rutgers and Virginia.

Virginia Tech & NC State to the SEC.

Then the PAC, Big XII, and Big East/ACC can fight for the scraps.

Maryland's financially boned BECAUSE they sank money into the revenue sports.

When I think about it, Maryland is going to get booed at all ACC away games this year and next.

They will get some cheers in Tallahassee.

Some. Aren't there people down there who don't want FSU to jump ship?

The vast majority wants out the ACC.

I don't know why. Is it a athletic issue, or a financial issue?

Money and lack of wanting to be a football conference.

Was reading online on all sorts of message boards and finding out that a majority of ACC fans want Louisville instead of UConn (Just to point out there). Still, it will be interesting what will happen to the conference.

As an ACC fan, it would make me feel better if you guys came.

(Got any conference friends?)

Well, Pitt and Syracuse are going to be in the ACC next year. It would be great to play Wake Forest in football and basketball just like in the Orange Bowl in 2006. Adding UConn could be a huge mistake because it would cause FSU, Clemson and others to seek greener pastures.

Where the hell are we getting these BC to Big Ten ideas from? That's like.. the 12th most attractive team in the ACC for the Big Ten at this point. I don't care about the BAWSTON MAJAH MAWHKET, New England cares way less about college football than the NYC and DC markets for goodness sakes. BC hasn't done anything in football besides 2007 in the ACC, hasn't done anything in basketball since coming to the ACC, and although has hockey, the New England market's so divided between a bunch of college hockey schools that your BTN gain isn't going to be as large as down in the other two markets. Not to mention the Big Ten, Notre Dame aside, would much rather raid the ACC of the large, public, land-grant schools before a private school. That means your UVA, UNC, GT, and whatnot would be far above the list over BC.

The BC-(maybe) Duke-Miami (now that they're gonna get nuked)-Syracuse-Wake Forest combo's kinda stuck in the ACC regardless through all of the remaining realignment due to their private school status, for better or for worse.
