I liked the 1939 Rump Polish State allusion.

I have a feeling WVU will be the undeserving victim of all this conference-jumping. No TV market

I’d like to see them stay with Pitt in the ACC. Would be a nice rivalry for Pitt, and maybe VA

All this conference sniping/poaching sucks. I wish they’d just decide to go to 4 16-team conferences and get it over with.

I was on this a few weeks ago. I think you’ll get four 16 team conferences. Then someone will be really strong and realize they make more money as two 8-team leagues, and we’ll go through it all over again.

/someone is going to realize that as everyone else gets bigger, it’s smart to go small

Increased competition in conference would lead to even less ambitious non-conference scheduling

I don’t really see this connection.

It would be nice to have an ACC North of Syracuse, BC, Pitt, Maryland, UVA, VaTech, and say..Duke

Fashioning a viable Big East feels like mapping out a rump Polish State in 1939, difficult and, with secret machinations from the more powerful, pointless.

Yeshiva to the Big East?

Not really buying either of these teams as a football contender. Theyve underwhelmed (Syracuse especially) in the Big East, and they’re going to improve playing tougher schedules? Very skeptical. Great basketball adds though.

could shift the basketball balance and see the ACC replace the Big East tournament in Madison Square Garden.

Oh, what the fuck? Fuck this whole process
