Message: [QUOTE="LoyalFanCT, post: 4641639, member: 6820"] One thing to remember, there are a number of universities/colleges which have a priority of joining a conference where members are academically strong -- or working toward that strength (such as UConn and USF). The B12 schools look like they don't care much. But others do. So here is another option. The new ACC: BC, Syracuse, UConn, Army & Navy (both at least football), Pitt, UVA, Duke, Wake Forest, Georgetown (except football or a few ACC football games in the season), Notre Dame (if they want to stay independent and play about five games a year in conference), Tulane, Georgia Tech and USF. The PAC: Air Force (at least football), SMU, Rice, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Cal., Oregon State, Wash. State and Utah. Combine PAC and ACC for a single conference with sports content across three time zones to generate better TV deal. I don't think the B10 is going to add more schools for a while. The SEC and B12 can fight over Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC, Va Tech, NC State, Louisville, etc. UConn may still get an offer from the B12 and eventually the B10. Notre Dame can play schools in the new ACC PAC combined conference in pro football stadiums. [/QUOTE]
