Current board mood: $EC or B1GLY ?

[Home Slice]

So basically no one knows where TF we will end up.

 

[TRick72]

Um, I'd like to change my answer. I don't think I want to be in a conference with Penn St.

Big10 is prolly done for now and SEC seems happy at the moment with Texas and Oklahoma coming in and making a conference of 16 which they wanted for scheduling. Don’t know where FSU thinks they are going to land after having only one good year in long time. SEC or Big10 aren’t gonna want to take a team with unresolved grant of rights issue.

Thanks and that makes sense, I just keep hearing fsu and Clemson want out but feel the same as you, where they going?

Baffles me the acc didn’t try expand and now we are sitting around with our ***** in our hand looking for somewhere to put it.

 

[Angry Ibis]

**** the ACC

 

[TpaBayFlyFisher]

Can I change my vote to “Which ever will take us”?

 

[Colombie]

Big 10.

But would settle for the Big 12 at this point.

Only so many tv market opportunities available. I don't think SEC wants us. Any conference that gives national exposure and has us match up against USC is one that has my interest.

This is the only map that makes sense. We’re headed to the big 10. Everybody needs to relax.

 

[mcnaire2004]

ACC! ACC!

But I was told that nobody wants us

The concern is clearly that it’s FSU and Clemson and not Miami and UNC/Duke as the map shows…

 

[The Iceman]

I think it will be B1G eventually.

 

[HurricaneU]

We may be left standing on the corner. I wouldn't be surprised to see B10 add Stanford and Cal first even if they - B10 - want to move down the Atlantic coast into North Carolina, Florida, etc.

Less hurdles to bring in Stanford & Cal.

I have to believe the Miami market and brand are still really valuable. Will see.

 

[Memnon]

Big XII

 

[Headhunter]

if they **** up and let Miami in the SEC we will own it and they know it

 

[Ghurd8]

Big 10 for compatibility. Better chance at a turnaround with a somewhat softer schedule & less animosity from the league.

Sec for entertainment. Better GameDay matchups(assuming we can actually field a quality team).

This is a Pure Pipedream but I would love to see the ACC try to expand. PURELY hypothetical but if we were to add the likes of:

- Stanford
- Notre Dame
- WVU
- Rutgers (Convince them to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond, again this is a pipedream)

That would be great for us (and the league). It’ll add another Elite Team in ND, give us a presence on the Cali Coast with Stanford (while also keeping the Stanford/ND rivalry in tact)

Itll increase more presence in the NorthEast with Rutgers and also Re-Ignite some old Big East Matchups with the addition of WVU (WVU/Pitt would be a great addition)

We could split back into 2 Divisions of 9 Teams (play 6 in your own division + 2 from the other)
Each Team keeps 2 Permanent yearly Matchups

Division 1:

- Miami
- FSU
- Notre Dame
- Stanford
- Syracuse
- WVU
- Pitt
- Louisville
- UVA
- Virginia Tech

Division 2:

- Clemson
- UNC
- Wake Forest
- B.C
- Nc State
- Rutgers
- Duke
- Georgia Tech

I think this would be a great way to combat the B10/SEC (at this point the Big 12 too) a top 5 of consistent competitors in the conference of:

- ND
- Clemson
- UNC
- Miami
- FSU

As well as Rutgers/WVU still capable of solid 8/9 win seasons as well as Nc State/Louisville/Pitt being consistent teams capable of the 8-10 win range and that’s a solid conference with great old school matchups

 

[da truth]

Which do you prefer for Miami?

Note about the poll: you can change your vote. It is recognized that information and circumstances can change quickly.

Big10, followed by big 12

No sec please

"Rutgers (Convince them to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond, again this is a pipedream)"

Lol what?! In what rain drop sized pond is Rutgers going to be considered a big fish? Schiano had some success there, but that was a decade ago. They've had two winning seasons since he left.. 12 years ago.

They've played 109 seasons and still don't even have 500 wins
They've finished ranked three times in their entire history
They've hit double digit wins TWICE in their entire history

[BGCOLOR=initial]They're 25-69 since 2015, and a whopping 12-22 since Schiano came back.[/BGCOLOR]

Rutgers is a joke. They'd be like "poaching" Boston College.
