NCAA Conference Musical Chairs

[bdoughty]

Definitely BYU and maybe Cincy but the others... Really?

The announcement of the ACC Network plays a big part in this. I do not see teams wanting to leave the ACC right now. It is less of wanting these specific teams and more about needing 14 teams and this is the best of the bunch with the positive of spreading out in the right places. Houston was in the SWC and they had more competitive teams than Baylor back then and did so without the murders and rapes (this is my swap team, only mentioned because I would get rid of Baylor which will not happen). UCF was horrible last year but they are the biggest college in terms of enrollment in Florida, plus the whole having a school in Florida recruiting grounds. Memphis is the same thing. Right there in SEC country. Not to mention these teams are positives for the Basketball conference.

The days of close knit conferences are gone and the power conference is here to stay. The SEC wanted to be in Texas, hence the offer to the Aggies. Same with Missouri, as it puts them near Big 10 country. Dare I even mention Rutgers in the Big Ten. Not exactly a powerhouse but they wanted to move East and also keep Pedo St happy.
