DCDuck Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I look for Colorado to block or vote against any Pac-12 expansion involving Texas and/or Oklahoma. They didn't want to be part of a conference that had divisions along east and west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 How many schools in the B1G play lacrosse?It's not like the ACC has enough members to qualify for an autobid either.

ESTONES6 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Texas and Oklahoma ready to join the Pac 12, which means Texas Tech and Oklahoma State are ready to join the Pac 12. I'm excited to see the fallout. Big East 12/Big Leftovers Conference? Mizzou and Maryland to the B1G? West Virginia and Texas A&M to the SEC?

dfwabel Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 The B1G should have pursued Pitt and Mizzou, but they let Pitt slide.The same Pitt who wanted to sue the ACC when they took BC, VaTech, and Miami? Heck, they sued BC at that time.The same Pitt whose basketball coach recruited TCU to join The Big East. B1G was correct in knowing that they already had Pennsylvania with Penn State and did not get involved with Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not sure why the PAC even wanted them. Where else are they going to go, a non-AQ conference?Because 1, they have a great fanbase. 2. they expand the PAC-12 map. 3. They are a great university (if not a bit of a party school). 4. They've been historically great at football, and I don't think they'll be down forever. They've been trying to get Colorado into the conference for a long time. Quote Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.

My guess they keep Michigan and USC. They may keep Navy as an out of conference breather or use the third non conference game as a rotation to keep scheduling "nationally" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESTONES6 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 ...or ND can/should just joint he Big 10, so they keep Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue.

Use one of the non-conference games for USC and be dont with it.Read the article. The ACC's pitch would be continued access to the East Coast media markets and southern recruiting territory. Joining the Big Ten long term would mean hitching your wagon to the rust belt area that is currently losing population. Notre Dame wants to be seen a national university first and foremost, but short of that they rather been seen as an Eastern school than a mid-west school. Now I'm not sure Notre Dame joins the ACC. I think the Big East catholic schools will try and do something to keep the Notre Dame non-football teams and keep that league alive in some form (even if a non-football form). If Notre Dame still has an acceptable place to them for their non-football sports then it will remain independent. If it loses that and has to pick a conference I could see the ACC being in play.

oddball Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I just don't understand why we don't disband conferences and go all independents. I know that sounds crazy, but are we really that far away from having so many super conferences that one day we'll have just one? If everyone goes independent, they can schedule who they want, get the money they want and it still wouldn't change the fact that big name schools will be the ones vying for the Mythical National Championship.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have a gut feeling the ACC will look past WVU's academic "shortcomings" and will accept WVU along with UConn when realizing how much $$$ WVU could bring in for the conference, not only because we have a strong fan base, but because there would be many instant rivalries in the ACC if we joined. (Maryland, Pitt, VT to name a few)But I have no idea really. This whole thing is stressing me out. I really don't want to be in the mutant Big 12/East Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I read somewhere that supposedly the Big East is making Cuse and Pitt stay the full 27 months which means they won't be able to join the ACC until Fall 2014. 3 basketball seasons with at the very least 2 lame ducks? I think we're gonna see that number renegotiated to a 2012 or 2013 football season Quote Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatsFan2004 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Where does BYU fall in all of this? Granted, they made the decision to go independent in football, but that was before things started melting down again. If Notre Dame goes to the B1G or ACC, they'd be the only independent out there other than the service academies (who don't really count since they choose not to seriously compete). They wanted to be the Notre Dame of the West...can that sort of deal be better than trying to join a power conference like the Pac-16 or the Big-12/Big East mashup?
