Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
GOOD stuff. thanks.
Things like this are why i prefer coming here to discuss conference realignment than discussing them on the FSU boards. most people over there have no idea who is going where.
Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
Denver is headed for the Summit League, I believe.

It's on there.
Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
In the beginning (or at least in 2010), Texas wanted their own network. Their conference mates resented it, and started looking for a way out. And then ...
Big10, Pac12, and SEC raided Big12.
Big12 raided BigEast.
Big10 (not to be outdone) raided ACC and BigEast.
ACC raided BigEast.
BigEast raided CUSA and MWC.
CUSA raided SunBelt and WAC. MWC raided WAC.
SunBelt raided WAC and Southland. WAC raided GreatWest and PacWest.
Southland raided GreatWest and LoneStar.
End results of Texas starting LHN ...
WAC football no longer exists.
GreatWest no longer exists at all.
Grand Canyon U. apparently exists.
Two other schools in Texas (ACU & IWU) will now play Division 1 football.
But maybe that was the plan all along. You know Texas politics ...

Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
For all you Big East doubters, I added the NCAA MBB Unit Distribution table above. More reason why the Big East won't die and why every C-USA school would accept a Big East invite. It also shows you why we want Memphis and Southern Miss to make runs in the NCAA tournament this year.
Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
They will still go, but the Big East credits will drop to current CUSA standards shortly. As in football, just because those programs are "moving up" won't translate into a difference on the field/court. In a few years CUSA and the Big East will be nearly indistinguishable. They have markets, we will regional rivalries with fans that give a crap.

What do you think the membership of the two conferences will be?
Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
Dawg06, that is a lot of work you have done. I appreciate your efforts.

Today's Guess:

Temple |

South Florida |
MTSU |
East Carolina |
FIU |
UCF |
FAU |

So Miss |
LA Tech |
Tulsa |
UTEP |
Houston |
Rice |
SMU |
North Texas |
Tulane |
UAB |
Memphis |
UTSA |
Actually, after putting this together, Big East looks pretty regional too. HA! Still, I really don't think we are talking about a big difference to the average college fan between the two.
Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
Can we just combine the Eastern Divisions to form 1 conference and the Western Divsions to form another! :icon_wink:

Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
Rouge...add WKU and NMSU to the CUSA outlook.
Re: Comprehensive Conference Realignment Thread
I am still not so sure we don't eventually end up in the Big East - maybe at the same time as Southern Miss....
