Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Is it possible that the 16th school after UA and ASU might be Oregon, and not Utah as-presumed? Scheer I believe mentioned there was a school in the mix that would be surprising.
Utah Valley University (UVU) is the other. 100% acceptance rate and around 40,000 students.
Arizona, Arizona State and .........................................UCONN.
This guy is basically MHVer. He doesn’t know ****
He looks like a creepy dentist.
Ah yes. Whenever I think of elite academics I think of Stanford, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Harvard, and.......................Utah
I went to a Cincy vs. Temple football game two years ago in Cincy and it was sold out. Temple sucked, and obviously Cincy was really good and made the playoff that year, but the atmosphere was very good. Their tailgating scene wasn't bad either, more like Iowa City vibes due to it being a city, but their facilities and stadium were fun to explore.
I really can't get behind a UCONN addition. And such, I feel UU > UCONN.
I suppose if you torture the data enough you might come up with something.
Maybe ESPN adds $15-20M per team for the PAC to join the ACC, and they convince BC, Cuse, LVille, WSU, OSU, Cal, Wake, GT to take lesser shares just to survive, and give the extra money to FSU, Clemson, UO, and UW.
That might not be a Hail Mary, that might be the whole Rosary...
Very good point, the best road games are the places that care about their football. I remember going to a game in Lawrence a few years back and it felt like walking into a morgue with very little tailgating. Contrast that with going to a game in Lincoln. Yea their fans have a hard time spelling their own name and their tailgating has a weird setup. However it was fun to be around a lot of football fans and experience the atmosphere.
Judging by the looks of pac games on television. I would wager games are more like Lawrence’s atmosphere instead of a Lincoln one.
wonder if years down the line it actually ends up being 2 mega conferences "North" and "South"
Pac 12 gets split up - just stuck in no man's land out West so half go to North half to South.
might argue South would be so much better than North - but i don't think so if put USC Oregon Wash Utah all in North. along with Michigan, OSU, Notre Dame, Penn St....(Wisc Iowa KSt Cincy....)
6 teams from North and 6 teams from South go to a playoff. could always weight it with rankings somehow like BCS so maybe some years it's 8 teams from South and 4 from North. who knows who cares.
anyway back to regular scheduled programming.
did we add the cactus states yet?

I just feel like this is what BY is wanting to do. The $$ ceiling potential for UCONN is higher and there's BB. Get UCONN in a bigger league and I think you'd be surprised at what their football could become. If not, then ISU will have someone to curb stomp once in a while.
UA and ASU in for sure, Oregon gets the last spot if they want it, otherwise it goes to Utah
Williams doesn't really break news, but he is a media guy and has some insights on how it all works.
He is definitely not like Swaim and MHver who just make up a lot of stuff.
I think it's because BY is from the northeast and values basketball.
I really don't see UConn doing much football wise. Hell, I don't even know the last time I've seen a BC game on tv.
With rumblings that the ACC's demise may get sped up, no way you reach for UConn now. Can have a discussion in a few years about their worthiness compared to Pitt, VTech, Louisville, and NC State
