Unless the ACC is on shaky ground, ND already has been in their conference for every sport except football and ND was able to make the CFP last year by playing an ACC-only schedule. If ND wants to join a conference, I would expect them to just be in the ACC in all sports. 1 Quote Link to comment

But, if this actually has steam and happens I feel like we're gonna see somewhat of a school grab by the other conferences and these 2 would be at the top of the list, for me. Quote Link to comment

Ocean Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Did any of you hear the rumors a few back regarding a B1O southern expansion involving Georgia tech and Miami? I think Virginia, North Carolina, Pitt and Duke were also mentioned. Mainly as a way to entice Notre Dame into the conference but also for the newer B1O additions as well as for Penn State. I don't think invitations for all of these schools were in play just as "possibilities". Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Texas struggles to win games in the big12 and their bright idea would be to join the sec and most likely a western division with OU, LSU, Texas AM and Alabama. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment

Good luck. Yeah, but if conferences go to 16 games, I think conferences would look at 4-team pod system. Although a pod of Texas, OU, A&M, and Missouri would basically be the Big 12 all over again.

teachercd Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Big Ten will expand in the ACC footprint. UNC GT FSU UVA they want eyeballs and strong academics Clemson is the team that is going to end up holding their dong if this happens. Quote Link to comment

But how big will the super conferences get? 16 teams is somewhat manageable, but any more than that seems like a total pain in the a$$. Quote Link to comment

Probably 16, I was just tossing out names that would make sense for them. Going west doesn't really make a lot of sense and KU, I think, is a dumb school, sort of like NU. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 When the big10 expands they are going to have to grab schools that have wrestling. I have never found out for sure but always been told it’s in the bylaws. So unless Kansas or whoever were to add wrestling, they aren’t coming to the Big 10. 1 Quote Link to comment
Gorillahawk Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 KU makes some sense as far as they are strong in BB and I think pretty decent at VB. Iowa State makes sense logistically, as Iowa is already in the BIG. I wonder what will happen to OkSt. Could they be a possibility? Quote Link to comment
Nebraska55fan Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 A&M desperately wants to be the only school from Texas in the SEC- and still have heartburn about the Longhorn Network and Texas's bully ways. Unfortunately they don't have a ton of political power or leverage right now to force the SEC to abandon the longwhores. Quote Link to comment

Given we're already at 14 members and 16 seems to be next logical step, which of those 2 would u say is most likely? I'd prolly rank FSU and GT as top two simply for recruiting purposes but I feel a case exists for all. I would think FSU would be #1 out of this list, tho Id be shocked if they would actually consider a jump like that Quote Link to comment
Courtesy Flush Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I really, really, really want Texas in the SEC! Yes please! They’ll never win another d@mn championship... ever. OU needs to ditch the Texas stank and move in with the BigTen. We’ll take them and OkSU. Mission accomplished 1 Quote Link to comment
