Conference Re-Alignment Thread Part Who Knows

Re: Conference Re-Alignment Thread Part Who Knows

I wonder how this affects TCU joining the Big East?

That's a great question. Are they better saying off screw it and staying in the Mountain West and hoping they are able to take the Big East's spot in the BCS. Or try to see if they could get a Big 12/ Big East merger if OU and OSU leave to the West Coast.

TCU will migrate again. It's what they do. MAC is another conference for them to try Or maybe the Sun Belt. They've run through every other mid-major conference. Might as well complete the list.

There is nothing that says there has to be 6 BCS auto bids. If Big East drops to 7, doubt they hold on to it and the Big 12 is on life support. The MWC had a chance with TCU and Boise, but they needed to combo of at least TCU/Boise/Utah to get it. If BYU hadn't of left, probably would have been a lock. It'll be like the good ol' days before long. Big Ten/Pac-12, SEC, and ACC in place of the Big 8 in the major bowls, rest as at larges, the way it ought to be. But if that happens, the BCS will cave and allow 3 teams from a conference so we'll just see 3 SEC schools every year.

Could the ACC score MSG for a championship?

And will the non football Big East schools form a new conference? Or will the Big East drop football?

If the Big 12 dies, they'll scoop every team that gets left in the cold and keep going, though the name will be rather meaningless at that point.

We will probably see the Big 12/Big East leftovers merge, if I had to guess. Syracuse and Pitt to the ACC; WVU to the SEC. But we'll see. This thing could go the way of the Pac-16, still.

I don't see the ACC getting MSG. I strongly believe the remaining basketball schools in the Big East break-off and keep that tradition going probably with the Big East name. The Prudential Center in Jersey may be an option though which the Dukies would love because they usually play one game in New York every year.

Also, I wonder what the B1G is going to do. They may not have to make moves, but with the ACC, SEC, and Pac-12 prepared to pounce they don't wanna get left behind with scraps.

They will keep it in either Greensboro or Charlotte. It is right in the heart of ACC and NC is the biggest state when it comes to teams.

Sure Greensboro will have the vast majority, but they do move it around. This year or next the ACC tourney is back in Atlanta. It has also been in D.C. and Tampa recently as well.

Re: Conference Re-Alignment Thread Part Who Knows

Greensboro has a lot of history, itself. With the addition of Pitt and Syracuse and the Big East falling apart, the ACC would become the premier basketball conference in the country and the ACC Tournament would probably be as hyped up as the Big East Tournament currently is.

The B1G won't do anything unless it means they get Texas or Notre Dame.

Re: Conference Re-Alignment Thread Part Who Knows

The ACC probably would rotate MSG into the mix, as they have done with other locations. They probably aren't going back to Tampa, so switching to MSG wouldn't be a problem. They are in Greensboro through 2015, so it will be a few years unless those can be changed.

The ACC needs WVU, Texas, OU, etc though for football. Adding Pitt and SU do nothing but make it easier to win the conference in football.

The Big East still will have 14 basketball schools, and if this whole realignment occurs possibly jacking some B12 schools back to 16. They won't give up MSG for the ACC to have their tourney. The ACC can have the Barclays center.

On the ticker during the PSU Temple game, it said Baylor and ISU are trying to talk to the big East.

Whirlwinds and Baptists to the Big East! That conference gets more easterly every day...
