in a perfect world all the teams that left would come back. they aren't.

i do think we need to grab a couple of teams for stability though and if you can get the right teams then you do it. yeah it sucks that they aren't located in neighboring states but it is what it is and it doesn't mean anybody has to love it or that people who want it are saying it's perfect. it's survival and they are realists.

Thank you, Daris.

I think there's some really cool stuff you can do with a block of east coast teams if you have your own network, but overall, it would have been nice to maintain the rivalries.

There's pros and cons to both sides.

Clemson's Board of Trustees will meet Today to discuss figures like the ones provided here to put together their plan of action moving forward. While my sources indicate no offer has come, I do expect the BOT to have a general idea of how they will vote on a Big XII offer when it does, and likely vote to empower Barker to negotiate on behalf of Clemson with the Big XII conference. The BOT would retain veto and ratification power on any deal, and I'd expect it all done by the end of June.

Personally I'm glad Neb. is gone.  Grew up near the KS/Neb border, lots of NU football "fans" (walmart t-shirt fans) man, they were super annoying, never had the desire to travel to lincoln either.

Those are all pretty good reasons to wish they were still here

I miss the days when you used to act like you weren't a Nebraska fan.

Yes, but the gist is the same.  His audience doesn't need to understand the technicalities.

This would be epic.  I already like WVU fans more than any other 4 teams that left.  If Clemson fans are like this, I just want them that much more.

I think a lot of busy body middle managers elected themselves as "serious people" and subsequently label idealists/romantics as "butthurt."  It is really a sad state of affairs when a college football fan has to adopt realpolitik as his lens to view his team and their conference affiliation lest he be labeled a fool or worse.

I think most of the powerful forces in college athletics are forces for evil and that they actively hate both the fans that are bootlicking their penis measuring power grabs and those that are unhappy about it.  But by all means, just embrace the nihilism your childhood has no meaning.

The guys in power know this.  That's why the destruction of the ACC won't happen.

The landscape needs them for what they are: a good academic conference that plays good basketball and offers decent home/home non-conference matchups.
