OrangeBalloonCoast Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I saw this today and I thought what would conferences look like if they realigned in ways that made geographical senseI'll start with the ACC first:Boston College should be dropped because the ACC should not stretch further north than Maryland. It's a southern to mid-atlantic conference. Period. And it really makes more sense if Boston College was in a league with the likes of Syracuse, UConn, etc. in the Big East.South Carolina would replace Boston College. They were one of the original members of the ACC (1953-1971) until they left to join the SEC. They are Clemson's biggest rival and they'd be a natural rival with Florida State as well as others. Not only does their addition makes sense geographically, but their football team would also have a much better chance to compete in the ACC by leaving the SEC East powers (Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee) behind.Atlantic Division: Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina State, South Carolina (replacing Boston College), and Wake ForestCoastal Division: Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia, and Virginia Techany thoughts?

Not saying you don't have a good idea, but it's like beating a dead horse really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It just makes more sense for the Brewers to be in the American League Central with the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians, all teams who's fans travel well.C'mon. The Brewers benefit from the National League's two biggest road crowds right in their division. I've never known Tigers or Indians fans to be famously roadtrippy, and Sox fans sometimes have to be cattle-prodded into attending games at their own park. Then the person contradicts himself with This "experiment" has failed. There are more Cubs fans in the stands than Brewers fans whenever they play each other.So you want road fans who travel well, as long as they're not the Cubs fans who travel best of all?
