Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4666244, member: 1609"] Those writing offvthe ACC or Indicating that certain schools will be dropped I believe are mistaken . The most important recent lessen is the Big 12 . Many including people on this board had them DOA after the Texas/Oklahoma departures . The overly ambitious AAC thought they could take advantage of that momentary weakness . Instead The Big 12 cherry picked the undervalued AAC plus an Indy and have achieved some stability. They actually expanded to survive ., The ACC if raided at all they will lose 2-4 teams max which leaves a viable base . Being an eastern conference the pool of viable football schools is very limited so dropping anyone is suicidal. The menu of teams with name recognition and a market are very thin : UConn USF Tulane Temple SMU ( Dallas in the Centrall Time Zone.as is Tulane . Plus the Service Academies are pretty much it . Making a preemptive move to add 2-4 teams with decent markets potential helps with losing teams in the future . Make a move sooner is better because it prevents other conferences from expanding into your potential markets. The other option is go to the West Coast for an East West Football only Alliance.. The new ACC might even accept football only members so UConn might be football only and have a working BB agreement but still be in the Big East .,Survival to anyone not in the Super two will require vision . The Big 12 still exists because it acted , the Big East died because it only reacted , The clock is ticking on the PAC and the ACC . [/QUOTE]
