    Did it reinforce their role in the ACC as an afterthought to the teams on Tobacco Road, or did it reinforce their role in the ACC as committed conference member with no desire to explore other options? Pretty good "non-statement" by Barker.

    Forgetting anyone in the SEC...I'll take as many big publics or reasonable facsimiles

    BC. - biggest program in MA
    SYR - NY
    UConn - CT/NE
    PSU - PA
    RU - NJ
    MD - DC
    WVU
    VA Tech
    UVA
    UNC
    Nc St
    FSU for 12

    Miami. - small pvt but first alternate
    ND For 14

    Clemson/Scar for 16

    GT - best available from GA

    I like that. I'd almost take USF or UCF ahead of Miami at this point, too many scandals there, and media markets are similar - Tampa/St Pete #12, Miami #17, Orlando #20. I like G Tech for the Atlanta market (#9). If we can get WVU and ND and PSU, bring in Pitt as well for local rivalries, and go to 16. To trim, I don't think we need multiple teams in states - if NC St and Va Tech want to go to the SEC and SC stay, let 'em if we keep UNC and UVa and Clemson.

    That would leave:

    NORTH
    BC, UConn, Syracuse, Rutgers, PSU, Pitt, WVU, ND
    SOUTH
    Md, UVa, UNC, Clemson, GTech, FSU, USF, UCF

    Or move Md to north, take out one of Pitt/Cuse/BC, and add Miami to the south, or Duke if bball matters.

    Better yet, take out all three of Pitt/Cuse/BC, and add in NC State/Va Tech/Miami. Then you have UConn-Rutgers for NYC/NJ/CT, PSU for Philly/Pennsylvania, MD/UVa/VaTech for DC, all the big markets in Florida -- this is the most valuable media lineup:

    NORTH
    UConn, Rutgers, Penn State, WVU, ND, Md, UVa, Va Tech
    SOUTH
    UNC, NC State, Clemson, GTech, FSU, USF, UCF, Miami

    The other possibility is that 4 Florida teams is too many, and there should be 2 Florida and 2 Texas to maximize media markets and promote recruiting a la the NBE. So take out 2 of Miami/USF/UCF and replace with Houston (#10 media market) and TCU (#7 media market).

    NORTH
    UConn, Rutgers, Penn State, WVU, ND, Md, UVa, Va Tech
    SOUTH
    UNC, NC State, Clemson, GTech, FSU, one of USF/UCF/Miami, Houston, TCU

    -fsu and clem have had enough. they call wvu and tell them not to sign the gor, just play 1 year in the b12 and then leave.
    -psu gets kicked out or punished by the b10 on top off stuff, they talk with wvu/fsu and are in.
    -fsu and clem pull in gt and they call md/uva/vt.
    -they offer unc but they dont care
    -uconn and ruty get the call. then lville/cincy also do before the b12 tries to live again.
    -b10 invites kansas, ok and mizzu. ok/kan get okst/kst in also. iowa state is f'd.
    -unc sees whats up now and pulls the trigger fearing be left out
    -pitt feels like crap after this...
    -sec adds baylor and tcu
    -tex knows its the end, flirts with pac but gets it done with sec.
    -sec invites tex/tt and tcu(mk) or baylor(vandy friend?)
