who the fuck is GSwaim? Seems stupid to me...how does ND keep their 'National base' playing in some of the least populated areas? |
| 1 day 9 hours ago | How about top research |
How about top research Universities....public additions would fit in well in the COC and the B1G (UVA and UNC) where private institutions with great research interests (Duke) would complement Northwestern nicely... Not even mentioning the obvious footprint additions in locations with positive population trends. |

VT will NOT go to the BigXII. The SEC lusts after them. Why sleep with a 7 when a 10 is gazing your way and giving the $%*! me eyes? |
| 3 days 8 hours ago | I think FSU, Clemson, and GT |
I think FSU, Clemson, and GT are interested, but nothing definitive has come out or been put forth by a true in the know guy. Hell, Chip Brown has been oddly quiet. The ACC is still a strong conference and I don't see an obvious need to jump just yet. But assuming those schools bolt for the BiG 12, I still don't see either ND joining a conference or the extremely tight nit core of the ACC breaking up. These two events are widely thought to be the catalyst for the superconferences. People talk about UV and VT as being tied at the hip, but UNC (the jewel of the ACC) has a state legislature hell bent on ensuring NC State is taken care of. The only way that would happen is if NCstate went to the SEC (who wants an in roads to NC), leaving UNC and Duke (and some speculate that fellow top dog UV) going to the B1G. In reality, the SEC wants UNC first, but does UNC go to what they believe is an academically inferior conference without Duke or NCState in tow? Furthermore, the B1G has been incredibly cautious and currently cold to the thought of further expansion. Do you really think that they are just going to allow 3 or 4 new members into the conference like that? Most likely, they will wait for ND and maybe have preliminary discussions with UNC, UVA, UMD, and Duke. But more than likely, the ACC stays in tact and forms a regional conference on academics and basketball. THis was the original purpose of the conference to begin with. This also allows the tabacco road schools (wake, UNC, Duke, and NCState) a place for all sports that maintains some legitimacy in the eyes of the state legislature. |

IF this happens, I would want Duke, UNC (my top priority), UVA, and ND. I doubt ND would come, so UMD would be my next choice. THis would expand the B1G footprint to the east coast and into expanding markets while maintaining the academic prowess of the conference. Also, the B1G becomes the dominant basketball conference with four money programs: UNC, duke, MSU, and Indiana. |

I don't think anything happens...here are my reasons stated best by one of the best expansion thinkers out there...Frank the Tank |

I personally don't care if you like the Rose bowl again. Since the B1G was the last major conference to truly fight for the very thing you insist on (home games for the top seeds), I find you now blaming them and the Rose bowl for the fact that no one else wanted it to be kinda misplaced. |
| 1 week 1 day ago | I agree. This is where |
I agree. This is where problems can arise, whether it is with a current commit or with Hurst himself. |
| 1 week 3 days ago | I respect your opinion but |
I respect your opinion but how can you minimize the risk by playing the game correctly. Playing the game correctly still results in jarring hits and it only takes one hit to do serious neurological damage... or in the case of football players in the NFL, thousands of little ones...plus everyone is different. Full disclosure: I recently have decided to not let my kids play football...sad |
