Texas. 100%. Pac 12 tried to take them. SEC would love to take them. Good enough academically for the Big 10. ACC would definitely take them too.

During the last expansion phase, the Gaytors, *****, Bulldogs, and Wildcats formed a 4-school veto to prevent the SEC from offering UM, F$U, Clemson, GaTech, and/or Louisville. I believe that the SEC's wet-dream for School 15 and School 16 would be 2 out of the 3 of North Carolina, UVa, and...

Vandy will, literally, never leave the SEC (unless they were kicked out). Vandy is a net taker from the SEC, not a maker.

While I think you're right, I think that ND is the shiny toy that will be impossible to ignore. We shall see if this season creates any rethinking of the "go-it-alone" model for ND. Heck, to be perfectly honest, I would love to see the ACC actually "use" ND a little and get NBC to make a...

You're a dope and I'm done with you. I provide demographics, I provide objective facts, and you yap about "realistically speaking their program is worth more than UCF's". You're a fraud. No facts, no stats, just a bunch of generalities. You make *****-like excuses for WVU playing in the...

Look, once you take the WVU **** out of your mouth, try to have a rational conversation. You are huffing and puffing about "natural rivalries" as if that would be soooo valuable. I just have to laugh at you. You are recommending taking a terrible TV market that has "natural rivalries" with...

I think 4 pods would be interesting, to get better rotation of non-pod games, but I wonder what the Championship Game would be like. Would be VERY interesting if the ACC had a Final Four. Groundbreaking. Bizarre and hard to manage, but intriguing and probably money-making.

I can certainly respect your thought process. I would just point out that UCF (probably the best of the American Conference teams from a football standpoint while they have been in the AAC) has finished in the Top 25 for 4 of the last 7 seasons (which includes their 0-12 season). I really...

I ain't mad at ya. I know there are redneck towns where college football is a big deal. But WVU isn't much of a TV market, and they certainly don't produce W-L results that match recruiting at a #40 level (for the past 7 years). I'm gonna say no, dawg, that's a no for me.

Glad that YOU had a good time, but Randy Shannon has a permanent neurological injury in his neck from having a trash can dropped on him from the upper deck of "Milan Puskar" by WVU fans. Maybe Randy should have stayed in Morgantown for a few extra days to get some great dentistry work. We...

Look, you are absolutely right about the Philadelphia media market. But that is really, by far, Temple's best selling point. Everything else looks terrible in comparison. They haven't recruited well: Rivals 2020 - 77th Rivals 2019 - 99th Rivals 2018 - 76th Rivals 2017 - unranked (outside of...

For the next round of expansion, there will be two primary drivers (ND and the Big 12) and one possible batch of beneficiaries (the American). Nobody is going to take any service academies. Nobody is going to take BYU unless they decide to be flexible with scheduling. The ONLY way that any...

You don't understand how markets are "covered". Orlando and Tampa are not filled with Miami and F$U fans who demand ACC games get carried on the local networks. UCF and USF games take priority. Bunch of soft-shouldered pvssy fans if they are scurred of UCF and USF diluting UM if we allow...

Keep smoking that wack crack. BYU has already been considered for Power Five membership and the limitations on scheduling are too problematic for P5 and big network scheduling. But you're Mr. Know-It-All, picking older teams in smaller markets with fewer students and fans. You're not even...

Agree with you how? Yeah, that's why they took Cincinnati and Memphis. You know less than zero on this issue. Big 12 leadership is short-sighted, greedy, and stupid. Because Fox was so desperate to keep content, they let the Big 12 keep the same money for fewer teams/games. That won't...

Yeah, I think the Bucs (and the fact they play in the same stadium) tends to blunt the enthusiasm a bit, while UCF doesn't have that issue. But, hey, I want to compete with some of these porsters for dumbest Team #16 suggestion. I nominate Ohio State. I've heard they have a good football...

And since the last round of expansion, the SEC, Big 10, and Big 12 have made it nearly impossible (financially) to leave those conferences. It's a non-starter.

But that's more a factor of the sport itself. NYC is not a big NASCAR market. NYC is not a big college football market. But football, and college football, are HUGE in Florida, and in all Florida media markets.

Yes, they actually do. That's what happens when you have over 50,000 undergrads. Besides, your comment is ignorant of what actually happens with TV contracts. Once you have an Orlando or Tampa based team, that TV market will get multiple ACC games OVER a bunch of other games, including any...

This will literally never happen. The Big 12 has a VERY punitive situation if anyone leaves the Big 12 (media rights and money).
