Lol, why would I be? It's kind of entertaining watching you get all salty trying to defend a position that's literally undefendable.
I'm right because I said so; always a winning strategy.
Often not, which is why you're still failing away on this. It's probably a better approach just to state the facts, and let people draw their own conclusions.
How awesome would FCS be if a chunk of the G5 dropped. I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming.
G6. I don't know if having 10 FBS conferences is a bad idea but I understand the benefits of being an FBS program. It makes sense for the G6 conferences to become more regional rather than less regional. The G6 aren't going to voluntarily split off from the P4 but the P4 or P2 may split off.
Exactly right. The forces that have pushed conferences into crossing time zones, if they are real at all, only apply to the P4. It makes no sense for a G* conference to follow that model because the potential rewards that the P* conferences may reap don't exist for the G conferences. It's better for them to go with a Regional model. It's logistically less expensive, easier for fans to travel to away games, and has a greater potential to maintain or build rivalries.
That's funny! I was a BC basketball season ticket holder for years when they were in the Big East and have family that attended BC. When BC went to the ACC, I decided I would never attend a BC athletic event ever again. I am good friends/business associates with some BC alums/donors and a couple of them invited me to the BC/Virginia Tech football game on November 17, 2012. They knew I had sworn off going to BC games, but one of them told me, based on his BC sources, it looks like UConn is going to get an invite to the ACC so I decided to go. At the game, I got a notification on my phone that Louisville was going to get the invite.
Lol, and in the end, you still can't explain why schools that were plaintiffs on the big east lawsuit against the ACC are now members of the conference, if being a plaintiff was disqualifying from being a member of the ACC.
Ha! I'm just saying my BC friends thought we were in based on what they were hearing and they were just as surprised by the Louisville news as I was.
I think the tobacco road schools were as surprised as we were by FSU and Clemson's power-play. They were upset because they perceived that the Syracuse and Pittsburgh additions were "basketball schools" and they wanted a "football school" in the next round of additions. Ironically, we beat Louisville in football days before the announcement that they would be joining the ACC.
IIRC they also wanted the next addition to be a southern school, as they were not happy with the ACC's northward expansion.
