Here are the divisions I would like to see. I want 4 pods.
Pod 1: UConn, Rutgers, Louisville, Cincinnati.
Pod 2: UCF, USF, Memphis.
Pod 3: SMU, Houston, Boise, San Diego State.
Pod 4: Temple.
So let me break down how the pods work. We would have 4 unequal size pods.
Pod 1 would be the old guard of the conference. These are the good schools. These are the schools that really deserve to be in a better conference. Keeping us together in a pod will make sure that everyone knows we are better than the other schools. When it comes time to move on, other conferences will know to come take teams from this pod. They won't confuse us with all the rift-raft that has entered the conference. We'll all be protected together in this good pod.
Pod 2 is the Florida and Tennessee pod. All teams from Florida and Tennessee go here.
Pod 3 is the Western pod. You've got the Texas teams and the further west teams.
Pod 4 is the Temple pod. Temple is all alone is this pod. They might feel kind of isolated in this pod all by themselves. That's the way we want it. I didn't like their attitude when they came into the conference. "Oh, do you really want us this time, okay, I guess we'll join". They should have been praising to high heaven to get this chance. Get in here and suffer with the rest us. They better be careful, because, with the way Internet rumors can sometimes get going, the ship certainly hasn't sailed on the idea that I've put forth on the Boneyard to kick them out again.
