Message: [QUOTE="HawkHusky, post: 2675444, member: 4342"] Not a Tweet, but totally Non-Key: [I][B]"DO YOU THINK THERE WILL EVER BE ANOTHER EDITION OF REALIGNMENT LIKE THERE WAS YEARS AGO, AND WHO WOULD BE THE TEAMS LIKELY TO MOVE?"[/B][/I] Mandel more or less just made fun of the all-caps question, but I'll take a thoughtful stab at it. It's impossible to predict whether or not something massive as the Great Realignment will occur again. I will say realignment on some scale is probably never going to stop happening, and there are rumblings once again that the Big 12 would like to expand. If they do take two more, my prediction (this is pure speculation, based on zero rumors or anything I've read) naturally look towards the American Athletic Conference. The first team they will take is UConn. The addition of West Virginia proves that geography matters not to the conference, and having no one that can raise their football profile any further that's willing to join, they will look instead at a program that raises, at least in a historical sense, their basketball profile and instantly give them the best women's basketball program in the country. The second team will come down to Houston or Temple; in the end, they'll take Temple because they want that new market. If they drag their feet on expansion for a couple years and UCF stays as dominant as they were last year in that time, they'll get a long look, as well.
