Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5155588, member: 4613"] I don't agree that the ACC is stronger than the Big 12 but they are both well behind the P2. FSU and Clemson are the keystones holding the ACC together. The Big 12 is on more solid footing, I believe. I don't see any way the ACC poaches the Big 12 because as soon as the GOR is cracked... I agree that some type of merger/alliance between the Big East and the ACC or Big 12 would be a bold strategic move. There are many excellent basketball programs outside the P4 football conference and there will continue to be many programs because there are kids with talent who will play somewhere. Over 300 basketball programs to 130 football programs. Big 12 and ACC will not catch the P2 in football so try to dominate basketball. Joining with some elite basketball programs may be the only way the Big 12 and ACC have a chance to compete never mind dominate. Drastic times... [/QUOTE]
