Message: [QUOTE="History Geek, post: 4809067, member: 4345"] If the ACC implodes, I predict the following. I think a new league will form with the ACC minnows and others with similar academic missions that are OK with taking a step down in football to "G5" status but strong enough to compete for basketball/other national championships. I hope UConn would be a part of that and convince some of their Big East brethren that this is the wave of the future so they better jump on board. I think the days of the Big East being a power conference in basketball are numbered. FSU - SEC Louisville - Big 12 NC State- Big 12 UNC - B1G Clemson - SEC GA Tech - B1G (Assuming B1G wants a presence in the dominant market in SEC land) VT- Big 12 Duke - New league Wake- New league UVA- B1G Pitt - B12 BC - New league Miami - New league (Better institutional fit. Their football brand is old and crusty) Syracuse - New league Cal - New league (B1G already has UCLA and likely doesn't want them. Unless...) Stanford - New league (If B1G wants Bay Area presence, maybe then with Cal) SMU - New league And if there is a contractionary purge coming from the B1G and the SEC, then Northwestern and Vandy could fit into the "new league" nicely.
