Highlands and Cov Cath have about the same chance as UL and WVU getting an invite to the SEC...

 

I agree GT, especially on Louisville. I just can not see them in the SEC at all and I don't think UK wants them in the SEC.

The SEC already owns the Louisville market with UK. The Cards would bring nothing to the table for the league...

Louisville in the SEC, get me some payback.

 

Still unhappy about the '91 Fiesta bowl?

I hate it for college football. I think 16 teams is to many. I would like the NCAA to come in and say 12 team conference is the max. This will kill the Boise States of the world.

:popcorn:

Wetzel is good. He wrote a really good book called "Sole Influence".

 

I don't think the SEC takes UL or even West Virginia, but West Virginia would have a better chance than the Ville. I think you see the SEC look at larger markets.

 

It depends on what Texas will do. Texas makes way more money than anyone else by far. I think they really like being the flagship program...they are on record more or less ridiculing the academic standards of the SEC.

 

Miami would be an option and I think the SEC looks at Clemson as well. Georgia Tech could be interesting, but the SEC has the Atlanta market right now with UGA. You may even see an invite of the Oklahoma's. I still think that Texas and Texas A&M will get invitations with Miami, Clemson next in line.

Could you imagine an SEC West w Texas, Okl, LSU, Bama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Nebraska and an East with Fla, Fla St, Miami, Geo, Tenn, Clemson, UK etc.

Neerfan, not against the Cards, better team won, its the fans I want to see.

The more I think about it, I think that the SEC goes after Miami, FSU, Clemson and Ga Tech, and divides into North and South divisions.

 

I see UL and and UC making up a new conference with the midwestern schools left out. I dont think the ACC will be an option.

If the SEC raids the ACC, UC is very much in the mix to fill the void...

These are my guesses.

 

I look for Pitt, Rutgers, and ND to head off to the Big X joining Missouri and Nebraska coming from the Big 12.

 

The SEC will take FSU, Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech from the ACC. (Florida will fight Miami's entrance into the SEC. I'll put money on it. They'll probably object to FSU, too, but not like they'll fight Miami.)

 

The Pac X will take Colorado and the Big 12 south less Baylor.

 

The ACC will fill their holes with Big East left overs Syracuse, WVA, USF, and UConn, then add UCF and ECU from C-USA. Only 14 teams though.

 

As mentioned in other threads, I think the remainder of the Big 12, Kansas, K-State, Baylor, and Iowa State, will join UofL and Cincinnati, from the Big East, to form a new power conference. However, I think the remainder of this new power conference will be made up of the 10 schools left in C-USA.

 

The Big East will return to what it originally was, a non-football conference, since it's remaining members would not have D1-A football programs.

Looks like the ball might finally get rolling on all of this tomorrow with Colorado accepting an invitation to the Pac 10...

What does that mean for Baylor? Oklahoma and Oklahoma State? Kansas, Kansas State, and Iowa State? Utah?

That would be the much discussed Catholic League that would include DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall and Villanova (and perhaps Notre Dame). That's a good conference, but not great. I could see that league adding four more teams along the lines of Xavier, Dayton, Saint Louis and maybe Saint Joseph's or Detroit Mercy.

I don't see Virginia Tech coming to the SEC. First, I think they've got a decent spot in the ACC. But more than that, the University of Virginia (and the entire state legislature) made huge moves to get VPI from the Big East to the ACC in the first place. I can't see them dropping out that quickly, or also taking such a big step up without returning the favor to UVA.
