Much better IMO. Public, with lots of government cheese behind them. Also better sports historically. But yeah Chicago >> DC, etc.

I said this in the origin thread way before the conference movement stuff got out of hand. UVA is somewhere between the 3rd to 5th most desirable addition if you were going to pull from the ACC. Sleeping giant, history, good sports, AMAZING academics, flagship state school for an SEC OR BIG 10...

And I agree with what you wrote! But I would say UCLA is, or would easily be upon switching conferences the close 2nd banana in the STATE, not just the market. And CA is 15% of the US economy on its own, has over 40M people, and UCLA has 45,000 students, which means a TON of alumni, most of who...

You're thinking like a football fan and not a CEO. As Wayne Gretsky once famously explained, he doesn't skate to the puck, he skates to where he thinks the puck will be. UCLA is a large, prestigious, state school with a rich sports history, a great brand, incredible academics, in one of the...

Nothing is iron-clad in life, everything is negotiable.

Agree, but how do you squeeze ND where they have the leverage and can see our cards? You might push them into the Big 10s arms. PSU... lol. No one is leaving the SEC or Big 10 for the ACC.

Oh geez my bad I meant to write Big 10, not 12. You know, the "Big" conference with 14 teams lol. Typo. Yes Big 12 is toast.

The only ways that I can see Miami coming out of this (not to say there aren't other winning possibilities) in real good shape is if: 1. ND joins the ACC (they've given no indication they would). or 2. Miami is invited to the SEC (not happening, so just stop). or 3. Miami is invited to the...

I haven't read the last 30 pages, but seeing a few posts above, let me add a little. WVU is a horrific, couch-burning school with ****-poor academics in the armpit of America where they don't even have internet and TV. They communicate by pig squeal. They bring nothing except they are ok at...

I agree with some of this, but I think you are asking the SEC and Big 10 to be charitable, and go against their greedy, human nature. It's a lot to ask. I think your model is outdated.

I don't think, outside of some legit SEC racism it's very personal, I just think the move is to big, well-funded state schools with massive AD budgets and lots of olympic sports. I don't think they see us adding much outside of a legit TV market. We are not a "southern school," culturally...

Ma'am, I'll have what he's having. But make mine a single. I don't want to get sloppy like that. I'll repeat what I wrote earlier today BEFORE this Clemson/FSU/OSU rumor started, when people thought this was just an OU/ Texas thing, in response to a poster who proposed Miami to the Big 10...

Non-starter. He's pandering.

See my post here, It's post #37: https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/kansas-to-the-big-10.170054/page-2#post-5274544

As I said earlier, that's a nice wish burger but ND has all the leverage. They can tell the ACC to F off and go to the Big 10 who would welcome them with open arms. You can't bluff when your opponent knows your cards.

Welp. That was fast. FML.

Wow. Just remember I called this before it got out. See the field. Game it all out. FML. I really don't think OSU and Michigan would go, though. Clemson and FSU would do it in a heartbeat IMO.

They hate us, bro. It's us against the world. Always will be.

But it would be a franken-conference. It would be a bunch of schools from all over, many which have very little in common, flying kids 20,000 miles a year all over. It would be interesting, but the SEC would be the big dog. But you are on to something. If the SEC made this move it would...

Are you kidding? They would gobble up 70% of the TV dollars out there. It will be do you have part of the SEC package, or not. The bidding would be astronomical.
