What's this?

At some point, I think they need to invest and take a risk.

I understand that no one adds value now. But how do they expect a school to gain value if they can't get any traction in the G5?

I'm not sure what move to make, but they should maybe consider getting into florida or California. Maybe Vegas. After A&M and Nebraska leaving, they have no tradition and gravitas as a conference to fall back on.

Make a move. Go big. If it doesn't work, what is there to lose? The conference is dying on the vine anyway.

Maybe UNLV, BYU, SDSU, Fresno, USF and UCF. Be the first to 16 or something. Other nice candidates too. ECU, UNM, CSU.

I don't get the need for Houston though.

Hoo86, who do you think comes to the ACC from the BIG 12? -- VT ChemE 1986 05/02/2017 1:14PM

I don't believe that traditional "conference expansion" logic will apply -- VT ChemE 1986 05/02/2017 5:58PM

I wouldn't be shocked to see some "duds" join P4's as accociate -- daveinop 05/03/2017 1:40PM

16 would be even better for the ACC. Adding WVU & ND would be great. -- chuckd4vt 05/02/2017 8:57PM

The way the power conferences get around the political pressure -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2017 4:11PM

WVU is the best fit due to regional rivalries. -- HOO86 05/02/2017 1:41PM

AAC just had more players drafted than Big 12! Not too good! -- Lakeridgehokie 05/02/2017 08:49AM

That's a surprising stat. -- Maroon Baboon 05/02/2017 1:50PM

Finebaum hanging out here too? 😎 -- Stech 05/01/2017 10:11PM

If Texas pulls out of their tailspin the Big 12 may be worth -- goldendomer 05/01/2017 9:09PM

They actually got quite lucky w/ TCU. I would add Boise and BYU yesterday. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/02/2017 11:08AM
