We are heading to secession from the NCAA

Look for 4 mega conferences in the near future of 16 teams each. They can call themselves the BCS or whatever, but they will secede from the NCAA union, run their own championships in football and basketball and maybe even baseball and tell the NCAA and their 500 page book of rules on texting and non-color media guides to stick it.

Just saying......But I look for a PAC 16, an SEC 16, a Big 16 and an ACC 16. The Big Least and the Big 12/10 will be swallowed up. It is get on board the runaway freight train or get left behind. When the SEC signs an agreement with the Sugar Bowl to host an $80 million "Champions game" in 2015, things have gone all the way to TV & marketing revenue money.

By that point Notre Dame will be in the ACC, along with Louisville, UConn. Syracuse, Pitt. SEC could add Texas & Texas Tech. BIG 16 brings in Oklahoma & Oklahoma St. PAC 16 brings in Kansas & K State, Iowa St & WVA.....there you go, now have at it.

Somewhere Army & Navy have to fit in plus a few more but there is just not room with the magic number being 64.
 
Wow. Did you come up with this yourself or has it been proposed elsewhere by someone? Thanks for the scoop!
 
Welcome to last year. Now the ACC is more likely to be the conference left out.
 
No way a PAC-16 would take West Virginia. Geography makes no sense there for starters.
 
So that means that UNC (and most of the SEC schools) can just cheat with impunity then? Or actually it won't be cheating, if there are no rules.

It's a toss up at worst between the ACC and the Big XII. I still think the ACC has a slight edge with our broader footprint.

Yeah but we'd have a tougher time getting a legit 16 if the other conferences get their 16.
 
Guys, Reff is just pissed because the ACC doesn't think a twenty year HS girls JV official is good enough to call a snow game when he's the only ref within a hundred miles who can get to the venue.

This. There is no plausible scenario in which the PAC-12, SEC, B1G, and Big 12 all go to 16 teams, unless you think they're going to be inviting the likes of Wyoming and SDSU. The Big 12's problem is that they're hemmed in by three more powerful conferences that have each stolen at least one of the Big 12's teams in the past few years. Our conference may be weaker, but we're totally insulated from the PAC-12, the SEC has no interest in our teams, and the B1G is already at 14--at worst they'd take ND and GT.
 
Equal revenue sharing of BCS monies was a huge score for the ACC. The level of compensation difference between the ACC and the Big East leftovers is going to be staggering.

You're thinking regionally. Anyway, the most likely worst case scenario is that we get poached and become the new Big East with a tenuous spot in the new configuration.

And you're thinking Reffly. If there's a scenario, let's see it.
