Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

It's not like the Big East is a slouch either. They've been the #2 conference for quite a while and had the best tournament last year.
Big East already does that....taking BB to market separately.....because they dont have football.
Oregon State and Washington State should have made the jump before we added the 4 schools. We would have taken them at that point. Now we are in the power spot.
I like winning so I’d love another cupcake on the schedule
Agreed. They’ll be in the exact same place as Big12 and PAC12 once their top schools are available for poaching. Come 2031 (or whenever their contract is up), the Big10 and SEC will go shopping. And once again, we’ll be thankful we were first and in a position to recover. But I think we’ll end up with a P2 + middle 2 + G5. Perhaps by then all the conferences will blow up and we’ll do things by geography. Cause having Oregon and UCF in the same conference seems stupid.
Yes, the rules currently state that the four highest ranked conference champions get byes. ND cannot get a bye. But someone told me that these are only the interim rules for 2024 and 2025. They will be revisited. Probably at some point that the SEC thinks it got screwed somehow, like having two SEC teams play in first round.
There are plenty of Illinois fans in the suburbs. They're pretty fair weather but they are there.
It's a hit by pitch. Yeah, you got on base, but your elbow is killing you now.
Why would WVU give the ACC a minute of thought?
(a) ACC payout is less than Big 12.
(b) WVU would owe a ton of $$ to exit the Big 12.
(c) Big 12 is adding Cincy.
(d) If they are patient, good chance we add Pitt, et al in the future.
No brainer to stay.
I feel like I have a good understanding of everything that’s happening, except UCONN and Gonzaga. When those two schools come up, I just tell myself “people smarter than me (aka @jdoggivjc and that complex brain) know what they’re doing”.
I simply don’t understand elevating schools like that.

While all of you are sitting back and enjoying the ride since we are secure this round, I have a child I’m moving to Arizona State in a few weeks……. to play a sport. I can’t catch a break with these realignment shenanigans.
It’s shaking out like Gonzaga was a chess move to illustrate how flat footed Pac is.
UConn is looking real but only in the scenario where exactly 1 or 3 Pac teams join.
UCONN is a leverage tactic, break glass in case of emergency type situation.
Agreed on all points. I posted because like Ten12 podcast, it brings a tear to my eye to see WVU fans say it. Rewind a few years and I believe TheDude, Mhver3, and many others would have traded us for them in a heart beat. Its a whole new world now. Big12 is finally in a position of strength and its a great feeling!
You win either way. Either ASU joins ISU in B12 or they stay away from truck stop B12 like they claimed they wanted to.

Never forget UConn broke Cy’s arm … that alone should knock the Huskies down a few notches on the B12 list. Somebody tell Yormark!
Get on the grid, or out of prison.
Need to slow down, already burned up one mouse and batteries on the second are getting weak.
