Oh and also - let's not forget Oregon leaving little brother Oregon State behind in what is now a 2 team conference. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'ld be totally ok if UNC and Wake joined the big 10. and it would be nice if Nebraska played them every year but alternated which one they played away each year guaranteeing I only have to travel 45 min for a game each year. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm going to put in a special request that we only play them in basketball at home. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm sure Warren Sapp helped solidify that. 9 minutes ago, nic said: It means a lot to the presidents. BUT, football money will override it...or Notre Dame.

Miami actually has a very good academic reputation. Unfortunately, the thuggish reputation of their football program overshadows it. On a side note, the Miami fans I met during the Rose Bowl week in 2001/2002 were some of the nicest, most respectful opposing fans I have ever met, which surprised me at the time.

USF took that AAU invite away from FSU last year. FSU isn't close to being invited. 59 minutes ago, nic said: I heard Miami has good academic credibility like ND.

They are still a top research and academic university in a state that we would love to get into. ND keeps standing ground on not joining but the thinking is if FSU and Miami join, ND might be persuaded to join along with another ACC school of their choice. Quote Link to comment

admo Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Go get Pitt. That would be a fun "after thanksgiving game" to see them play Penn State every year. Right after Nebraska/Iowa. Maybe grab Syracuse for the hoops and give Rutgers a friend. And If you steal West Virginia, then it's a whole 'nother partay.... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
