10 teams in new conferences in 10 years

[jpm25]

Understanding that I could have written a more thoughtful article, I thought I'd post this as we wait for the Big 12 to make their move in the next couple of months... I agree with the Pac-12 speculation, but I don't think it trickles down as far as K-State. Texas, Oklahoma, OK State and Kansas would be my guess if they do 4.

10 Schools We Think Will Be In Different Conferences A Decade From Now

Had to flick through 10 pages just to see those 5 magic letters.

Your math is off a bit. J-E-N-N-A B-Y-R-N-E is ten letters.

Kansas is closer to Hartford than LA. I don't see it happening.

Kansas has no P12 desires...all B1G...

Click bait whoring. HFD would have covered this with two colons and nine slashes.

Lombardi is another frustrated Syracuse guy. He'll have nothing good to say about UConn. I don't say this without reason. Syracuse has been jealous of UConn for about 15 yrs. It a BS analysis.

I hate the clicking bit but it makes money for the writers and sites. My wife writes on the side for Athlon sports and the first thing she realized is that a normal article she'd write becomes more profitable for her when it gets turned into a slide show or broken up like that article did. It's crap but when you get paid per click, the more pages a reader has to click through, the more money the writer sees.

In terms of the article, I felt they were a little harsh in their analysis of our school but as long as we're mentioned as being in one o the Power 4 conferences I could care less.

Agree, except for the colons.

SEC has made it pretty well known they're not going to double up on states, but the writer thinks Oklahoma and Oklahoma State ends up in the SEC? Yeah ok.

 

[ZooCougar]

The best thing about the article was the link to the page that had the next Katherine Webb. Thanks.

 

[Kolumbo]

This time I promise, I am never going to those pages which make you page through a simple 10 list.
and this drivel: "Baylor, TCU, Iowa State and West Virginia aren’t options – because of either geography or academics." The ACC has already ditched the Academics thing, but I guess that was directed at WVU.

It's hard to fathom North Carolina leaving Duke and their Tobacco Road cabal to go to the B1G.

 

[HuskyHawk]

So he predicts the demise of the Big XII. Umm...whatever. Really going out on a limb there.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

2 teams in new conferences in 2 years: UConn and I don't care who else.

Easy to see UNC and Duke going to the SEC. NC State will be reduced to Central Connecticut State U.

Whenever I click on the link and it has a slide show, I just close it down. Too frustrating to page through as it loads the ads. Now whenever I see anything that says "top 10...." I don't even bother looking.

LOL. This board is good for some laughs for sure.

UConn and ND just make too much sense. Both have good hockey programs, academics are excellent. ND has football and UConn has bball. It's a win win

People really do struggle with geography... just because it's west of say, Indiana... doesn't mean it's closer to California. It's why you get all this great articles about Boise State joining the B12, etc.

If only they had maps, U.S. Americans could do a better job of locating Kansas.

I don't think her prospects will be affected one bit by her inability properly answer the question...

He's grinning ear to ear, knowing he just picked the contestant he'll be bringing back to his hotel room.

Texas has 3 options and one is the PAC while Texas Tech's only real chance is that it gets taken along for the ride to the PAC, too. That makes sense. Kansas to the PAC, nope. Kansas St, maybe if the PAC had no other choices. G Tech going to the B1G is a possibility if the B1G also gets UNC and UVA. I can see Oklahoma to the SEC; but, not both Oklahoma and OK St to the SEC. If Oklahoma goes to the B1G, then OK St can go to the SEC, if Oklahoma goes to the SEC, then OK St is likely going to the PAC. ND to the ACC, dug, its there, sort of, already. UConn to the ACC, of course; but, Cincy and West Virginia would both push hard to get into ACC and as we have seen before, rule #1. Overall, biggest gripe in this is that without Texas and Oklahoma, the XII is dead, and without UNC, the ACC is dead, which would result in both the ACC and XII folding. The football powers need a P4 not a P3.
