miami and fsu to big 12 is THE best conference

[MIATL]

I'm not in favor of leaving, but I do think the conference should drop the hammer on Notre Dame, and make them become a full member. Do that, then add Cincinnati to the conference, giving us 16 teams.

Scrap the idea of putting Miami and FSU into separate divisions, and do it by region:

ACC North

Pitt
Cuse
BC
Ville
UVA
VT
ND
Cincy

ACC South

Miami
FSU
Clemson
UNC
Duke
Wake
NCSU
GT

Everyone plays 7 division games; 2 cross-division games, with no recurring rivalries, so teams would cycle through all team every 4 years. Add your 2 more against a team from the SEC, B1G, Big 12, or Pac-12, and you're at 11 quality games. I'd keep alternating FAMU and Bethune to get to 12 games for Miami.

Notre Dame gets to keep Navy, they can alternate USC and Stanford, and can alternate Michigan and Michigan State. They'd keep a stacked schedule.

Clemson can keep South Carolina, FSU can keep Florida ... I'm sure they'd both add an FCS opponent.

UVA and VT can alternate JMU and Richmond, giving them Power 5 exposure every year.

Using that model, the ACC could have the toughest schedule in the country. We would play 11 Power 5 schools per year, have 9 conference games, and a conference title game.

I don't think there is a contract but there is a huge buyout. $20 million as of 2011 although it might be higher now.

I think FSU would go because they would rather have us as an in conference game.

Maryland is leaving for 50M. The buyout would be very costly, but I'll be honest. Texas and company could totally pay for it. They make 100 million every year in football. That's how crazy the cash on hand they have is. If they wanted to they could buy out FSU, Miami, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech and not even blink.

Why add cincy? Houston is a bigger tv market. Add Houston over cincy

Of course the ACC isn't good to Miami. We haven't done anything to benefit them since we got here, like we were supposed to do. If we win we can be the face of the ACC, our basketball team is starting to become legit, baseball has never been an issue, and if our football team gets that coach we have been missing for years we could make the ACC a big time conference.

I don't want to go to the Big 12 and play second fiddle to Texas and Oklahoma even if Texas is terrible. Also, I would hate to ever have to play TCU or Baylor as long as Briles and Gary Patterson are around.

The path to the championship is so easy in the ACC, we would never make it in the Big 12.

TRUTH

Let me add that we should have never left the Big Least. We were the big dog. Easy road to NC. They didn't equally share $. That gave us greater incentive to WIN.

The death of Miami football is directly connected to joining the ACC. By far, it's the biggest mistake the BOT has ever made.

It's directly connected to Donna. I'm sure she chose to join the ACC for the money. We just haven't had a good coach since joining the ACC, hopefully that changes soon and we get a cake walk to the ACCCG for years to come.

Big 12 has OK and TX bias... I think the ACC is worse, though.

 

[DC Dog Nuts]

Miami needs to find a way into the SEC not the Big12.

The ACC is amateur hour compared to the utter corrupt mess that is the SEC. That league is run by a bunch of inbred used RV salesmen from places like Tuscaloosa. We could never keep up with their bagmen. Besides, only one school has any semblance of academic integrity, every student on the UM campus would have to huff glue for a month and drop 50 IQ points just to qualify to get into that league. UM would never do it.

The football part of it would make everything else secondary. Florida and Vandy both have good/better academics and it doesn't seem to bother them.

 

[BoroCane83]

Personally I like ACC conference. Only because I live in ATL and it is an easy trip (flight or driving) to the many opponents we face. If I fly somewhere I'm going to a home game. I'm not flying out West for an away game.

Big12 protects the $$$. If there's a team that's undefeated, they're getting the calls.

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

Our fans crack me up. We cant win the acc but we should move to the big 12. Hahahaha

You can make it to the playoff easier in the acc.

 

[jed2410]

We've treated the ACC worse than they've treated us by continually sucking *** on the football field

I mean fvck the SEC but Miami is not a better academic school than Vandy, and is about the same as UGA UF and aTm........this misguided view of Miami academically needs to end.

 

[ncncanes]

"Vandy?" this is your argument and Georgia is about the same ---- please

Fact.

When we get back on track the only games we want to play against the $EC is playoff games or the rare occurrence the Turds sack up to play us...or kick off classics

The SEC cheats at a level we will never be able to mimic...lest be become Vandy and focus mainly on academics. Oh f-k, wait....

UM

UF has no academic integrity? Lol you lose all credibility there

I'm not saying it's Harvard or anything but it's **** sure not easy to get into either and no I didn't go there

Mizzoo was struggling in the Big 12 before they left for the SEC. aTm was struggling too. Sometimes change is a good thing.

No, it certainly isn't Harvard. A senior at Boston Latin High School would run intellectual circles around the average UF undergrad.

toughest in the state to get into


UF's average freshman profile reads like this: 4.3 GPA, 1958 SAT score, 30 ACT score. According to princetonreview.com, the national average for the SAT is 1500 and 21 for ACT. By comparison, the average GPA for freshmen entering UCF last fall was 3.8.

Mizzou struggled before Pinkel and during his first years there. They surely didn't struggle after he got his players and system running. I think they played for 3 Big 12 titles.

HUH??? Things must have changed. When I was in school, 4.0 was straight A's and highest SAT score was 1600. Yes, I'm showing my age.
