We are to two highly unlikely life rafts

In the immortal words of a young John McEnroe:" YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!"

I hope you're joking.

BC? Cuse? Pitt? What do they offer that Maryland and Rutgers don't? It's stunning that you can't see the benefits these two bring that Cuse and esp. BC cannot (Pitt is obviously already in the footprint).

I don't have the energy to give a s*** what happened to Rutgers, Syracuse or Pitt in realignment.

75% of the posters have said UConn was cooked since Syracuse and Pitt told us they weren't going to wait for the next TV deal. There is no "I told you so", when pretty much everyone else was telling everyone else so for a long time. You have never had an interesting or thoughtful solution to anything. It's all crapping on other posters, UConn, and the fans, all the time. Move on already.

I'm going to have to point a few things out here.

A: UConn has created some of their own problems. The more I think about the amateur hour debacle of the Spring Game the more I begin to wonder two things: 1. Is the school even interested in big time athletics and 2. Are they really so stupid as to not see how small time they constantly look?

B: I crap on shi@ty moronic nonsense, it is not my fault you serve it up constantly. I'm going to say this nice and clearly: You have proposed the single stupidest 'solution' in the history of the Boneyard. Your 'creative' solution is to DISBAND THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM. So for the slight incremental advantage to playing basketball in the Big East you propose giving up.

I crap on UConn? YOU THINK SO LITTLE OF THEM YOU PROPOSE THEY duckING QUIT.

It's the sport though. Everything revolves around a balanced football schedule. Unless the ACC goes to a three division pod system with 5 teams each and the top two ranked division winners play in a championship game 15 teams in football is NOT happening.

Nonsense. The Big 10 managed with 11 for years.

Zoo, don't get me wrong, I think for 13 of the 14 SEC teams it would be unimaginable for them to leave, but given how hard it was reported that Mizzou lobbied for the B1G, don't you at least think there is a shot?

It seems crazy anyone would leave the SEC, but Mizzou is a perfect match for the B1G and that was there first choice all along.

Given that there isn't an SEC Grant of Right or Exit Fee (that I know of), if I'm Delany I revisit Mizzou.

IMHO Missouri is a better match for the SEC than the B1G. Actually, they were a better match for the Big 12 along with Nebraska.

Nelson, do you still sit in the old Field House in Storrs waiting for the basketball game with Vermont to start?

Missouri is a dividied state. KC fits the Big 12 perfectly (and was always the HQ). St. Louis fits the B1G best, maybe slightly the SEC. Springfield is a fit for the SEC, to the extent that you think Arkansas fits the SEC.
