Expansion Carousel Starting Back Up

[NewApp]

I'll take an uneducated guess and say they add BYU, Cincinnati and stop at 12. Then the AAC adds Marshall. No clue what CUSA would do then.

If what Yosef 10 says is correct I wouldn't be surprised to see Nebraska come back into the fold. Texas really is the thorn in everyone's side here and if they won't play ball you could see Oklahoma and Kansas hit the road to SEC country. Nebraska may be what it takes to prevent that...but they'd have to be willing to carry Texas' baggage and step back into a dysfunctional relationship for the sake of historical rivalries).

2 - Houston and Memphis (it BYU will relent on Sunday games, then they're in)

4 - Houston, Memphis, Nebraska, and Cincy.

No way any of the Texas schools let Houston into that conference. Just don't see it happening. The same way Clemson and FSU will never sniff the SEC.Letting in TCU has already presented recruiting issues I believe for UT and Tech.

Why would Clemson want to leave the ACC anyway?

Why would they want to stay?

They just came a few points away from being the National Championin football while in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They would just be one of the boys in the SEC. Week end week out they would be playing a much tougher schedule. Besides, their academics are a little tougher than most of the SEC schools. That in itself could make the recruiting playing field uneven.

so... Maybe the acc isnt that bad after all ??? or maybe the sec may be a little media overrated??

[AppDawg]

SEC is all about the Benjamins. They dwarf what the ACC brings in.

In fact, in the P5, the ACC provides the lowest amount of conference revenue per member, inclusive of basketball.

According to all the reports this week, the new deal announced by the ACC with ESPN puts them firmly in third place in revenue among the P5. With their grant of rights extended through 2036, ain't nobody going nowhere from the ACC. That announcement was also what prompted the Big 12 to resume expansion talks, and that isn't conjecture, as Oklahoma's president said exactly that in an interview yesterday.

With regard to Big 12 expansion, Houston is going to be one of the teams. The governor of Texas tweeted that Houston should be in the Big 12 and the president of the University of Texas tweeted that he supported Houston for admission. That's about as close to a done deal as it can get.

I could see Houston and Cincinnati being added as full members with BYU and someone else (UCF?) added as football only due to BYU having the ban on Sunday games.

To which conference are you referencing, JT?

Lots of talk up here about JMU wanting a home real bad

[Yosef84]

Nothing wrong with taking the shot although I agree that the B12 is unrealistic. If they continue making noise when opportunities arise, it could keep them on the radar in the event that another opportunity comes up though. I can't blame them for putting it out there.

By the same token Gillin should openly throw our hat in the ring for the AAC.

Hopefully if CUSA needs a team from the Sunbelt then they will call ole Charlie Cobb and stay on their path of giant big city schools with little tradition or support. They have a giant hole in George with their footprint.

That's nice. Maybe they should have had some foresight and accepted the Sun Belt's invite when it still stood, seeing as the MAC, CUSA, and Sun Belt have no need for them. Don't bite the hand that offers to feed you.

There was talk of that a few years ago under the BCS system but last year proved an ACC team doesn't need an SEC schedule to get into the playoff.

If they have an opening, I totally agree, except maybe with the "openly" part.

Like the ACC is in basketball.

The ACC had 4 schools in the elite 8 and 2 in the final four. There is nothing overrated about that.
