Playing that game... where would that leave the ACC? Back to Big East 1.0


If the twatter is true... the ACC will have 9 teams remaining:

Boston College
Clemson
Louisville
Miami
North Carolina State
Pittsburgh
Syracuse
Virginia Tech
Wake Forest

Which is basically the original BE - minus WVU, Rutgers & Temple, replaced with Louisville, NCSU, Clemson & Wake.

Options:
1) Pick off WVU from the Big12 and have a nice 10 team round robin. Simplest option. Decent conference for football (Clemson, Miami, VT, WVU) and hoops (Louisville, Cuse, Pitt, Miami) but no super big names

2) Get all Lord of the Flies with the Big12 and merge selectively to form a power 4th conference with 16 teams:

- ACC Division: Clemson, Louisville, Miami, NCSU, Pitt, Cuse, VT, WVU
(ditch BC & Wake)
- Big12 Division: OK, OK State, KS, K-State, Texas, TCU, TTU, Baylor
(ditch Iowa State)

3) Break up the ACC and go running off elsewhere:

- SEC will want to compete with B1G, so they take NCSU & VT. Let's also say SEC takes Clemson & Miami to keep the Big 12 out of those states.

New SEC(18)
East: VT, NCSU, Clemson, USC, UGA, FLA, UK, UT, Vandy
West: aTm, ARK, MIZZOU, LSU, Miss, MSU, Bama, Auburn, Miami

- Big12 goes shopping on the leftovers, picking up Louisville & Pitt.
North: Pitt, Ville, WVU, Iowa State, KS, K-State
South: Tex + 3, OK, OSU

- BC, Cuse and Wake look at rejoining UConn in the AAC.
