Message: [QUOTE="pick6s, post: 4015275, member: 484"] The Big Ten has no short term move to adequately respond to OU and TX joining the SEC. They do have a long term move though: UVA, UNC, GA Tech, and FSU (with VA Tech and NC St going to the SEC). It could be just those four Big Ten-bound, or they could potentially consider Clemson as team 19 (though they’re currently not AAU members) and then team 20 would be Norte Dame (if they’d join since the ACC would basically be toast), with UConn over Kansas (I think) as the backup option since that would give the Big Ten a stronger presence in the New England market, which would otherwise be devoid of a power conference football team (due to the ACC’s depletion). As for UNC not leaving Duke, remember how Texas wouldn’t leave Texas Tech and OU wouldn’t leave OK St? Whoops, that’s out the window. Duke and UNC will make sure to schedule each other in basketball and whatever other sports they have a rivalry in. [/QUOTE]
