Maryland replacement

I think UConn makes the most sense. They're in the Northeast market, and would add to our presence there to go along with BC, Syracuse, and Pitt. Amazing basketball school and competitive enough in football, good academics, etc. I've heard that they have a strong interest in joining but a few ACC schools are against it and would rather Louisville (not sure why).

Uconn, brings nothing to the table except the desire to sue if they get left behind, **** them.

 

[hotshot]

Louisville has a very small-time media market. Big drawback.

They would appease the basketball schools who are against adding teams for their football value.

How come nobody has mentioned Vanderbilt? They have to be sick of being the punching bag to a conference of football vocational schools. Culturally they fit in more with the ACC. Does the SEC really mean that much more money when you factor ACC basketball into the bottom line?

 

[Notsince1985]

I don't think Vanderbilt would leave the SEC

I will come down to markets. I think we should add TCU since they'll be joining a failing Big East and the Dallas/Ft. Worth market is huge, or pillage someone from the Big12.

I thought I read a lil while back that they backed out and joined the Big 12, if not then my mistake, but they wouldn't leave the Big 12. It's a much better fit for everything.

 

[UMJer026]

I dont see how Louisville fits in.

Penn State would make a lot of sense.

 

[Brous8988]

I wont be surprised if we at uconn. This conference is basketball first all the way

 

[Brous8988]

Add*. And would penn st really jump ship from big 10? Not sure they would

****, you're right. My bad. They are Big12. Take them from the Big12 then!

Wow this conference sucks! We talking bout raiding C-USA or the Big East smh. How FSU & Clemson haven't left yet is unbelievable.

 

[hoops156]

lol before we talk bout how the conference sucks lets win it first in our 2 major sports lol

 

[deep-sea diver]

UConn for sure. Strong academics, great basketball history and rivalries, and they have a football team.

 

[WhatTheHell]

Houston and Louisville would not be very solid at all.

Take a break from your giant thread of whining and tell us why.

Academically they don't stand a chance princess.

Nice call. You seem to really know your stuff, bro.

"...and they have a football team."

LULZ

 

[WhatTheHell]

That's all you need in this conference.

"AND! they expect to have 43 football helmets by 2014!"
