OT: texas to join pac 12.

Texas in the *Atlantic* coast conference is just bizarre, geographically.

Also Coach K said in a thing on ESPN.com that the ACC is commited to maintaining their geographic boundaries on the east coast/eastern time zone.  (He specifically mentioned the time zone.)  This makes Texas to the ACC unlikely.

Your NC State neighbor is behind the times.  The ACC would've been foolish to not at least talk to Texas, but even more foolish to actually bring them aboard.  Besides, the conference has other priorities and Texas doesn't fit.  That's a matchup that ain't happening.

I really wanna thank you for being so clear about this. The day WVU joins the B1G would be a sad, sad day for us all. Luckily we don't have to face this possibility because it absolutely will not happen.

One team does not make consistent competition.  But i was referring to Divisions and not the Conference as a whole:

North - Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, California
South - Southern California, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado
 

USC has UCLA, Arizona, ASU, Utah and Colarado.  I'm guessing Texas would fall in the "South" division.  If you look at Oregon, they play, Stanford, Cal, Oregon State.... that's tougher than the South division, IMO.

Mizzou's USNWR ranking is 80, both are well below what Pitt is ranked at (58).  Mizzou would have  been the lowest ranked school in the B1G until we admitted Nebraska, which is a huge plus in football  but not academically, particularly now that they have lost thier AAU ranking, which at least Mizzou has.  I am one of those people who believes that academics matter.  WVU is not even woth thinking about.

What bothers me is that when it became obvious that things were changing, it seems the B1G did nothing.

with the "Raider Rash"

Except for those amazing teams and NC in the late 80's you mean?  I don't mean to be too harsh, but that kind of non-sensical crap logic really, really sounds like an MSU fan.

Yeah, Notre Dame won a NC in '88 and a Heisman in '87. They also tended to give us hell in the 90s. Not to mention that Notre Dame would bring in the Chicago market better than any current B1G team does.

maybe they haven't won anything recently but they are going to a BCS bowl this year. How do I know that? you may ask. Well I heard Lou Holtz say it and he would never say that unless it were true.

That works only because they play enough games. Try drawing up a schedule with uneven divisions playing less than a round-robin. It doesn't work.

If the ACC takes 4 teams from the Big East I don't think there will be a Big East for Kansas to go to. I personally would like to see the B1G pick up TCU, on the condition that their academics are high enough. If UT, OU, OSU, and TT leave then I would like to see us pick up Kansas and K state as the J-Hawks bring in good round ball. All of that being said if there is no need in adding teams I say why do it. Lets' not be the confrence that adds just to add.
