Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....

“@TheShoeAtOSU: Several sources say Big Ten has approved #GeorgiaTech to the BIG. They will be number 15 #big 10 #B1Ghaters”

I kinda wanted GT, if for no other reason than easy flights to games...and I'm platinum on Delta. :fatty:

But, any departure from the ACC is a step toward FSU in the Big 12, right?  So, good news.

This is why if we go to 14 I'm hoping #14 is Pitt.

Ah, a US Air man.   :thumbs:   An NC school would be too much to ask for, but that would work as well.


If GT goes, or anyone for that matter from the ACC, before they have more definitive public info on the status of the ACC buyout penalty, does it make the tales of the big 10 10's upcoming windfall with their new deal more credible, or does it seem that the buyout cost will much lower, or both?

Big 10. Woof.

Poor GT, if true. And KU is not that stupid. They're not going anywhere.

If GT is # 15, then a Kentucky, Virginia, or a North Carolina school makes the most sense to round out the big 10!
But when has any of this had to make sense?

Unless of course ND could be made to go as a full member.

The BIG is going to hold out for ND.  Always have been and always will be.  Unless they have some under the table deal where they can just boot someone else at the drop of a hat to bring them in.

Sources are indicating that the #big 10 has approved #GT as its 15th member. Stay tuned... @CFravel247 @Clemson247

If the big 10 picks off G-Tech I wouldn't be surprised to see Virginia go.  I know they took Rutgers, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see Syracuse come into play if this is really about the New York, Eastern market.

Always though WVU need a traditional rival and Pitt makes since. After all we are not going to bring in Marshall, are we?

The magic combination seems to be big market + school that needs cash.  :dunno:  BC?

With big 10 going to 15 and invading the SEC market, the SEC has to feel compelled to expand as well. NC, Duke, and Virginia Tech are the only targets left that will work.

i think it sucks we don't play nebraska anymore and i miss them. 

 :dunno:

Yeah, that's you and the rest of us aren't dumbasses for not feeling like you.  I was on the field after those games in 98 and 2000 and I want to win on Saturday just as much as I did then.
my point is is that it's a huge exaggeration to say that fans "don't care" when their rival leaves the conference.  we do care, to some degree, right?  why wouldn't we care?  k-state will go on, of course, but if k-state loses KU, i think k-state loses part of our identity, and vice versa.  when would tons of k-state freshman travel to lawrence and jaw at their high school buddies who decided to go to ku?  what coworkers would we razz around the watercooler on monday?  what billboards would we paint? 

k-state would go on, of course, but if ku left, it would suck for both fanbases.  obviously new rivalries would form, but man, i have never met a single Florida State.

Why does KU have to be in our conference for us to play them every year?

Yes, and the powers that be pulled every string they had to get them united in the ACC, and won't allow them to be split again...that was according to one of the thousand or so "experts" that has been on the radios this week, can't remember which one, but I trust him more than the Dude

I'm sure that won't change at all when the politicians realize that being tied together will just drown them both in the Big East 2.0.

Can't listen to youtube at work, is this it?:

Craig Littlepage issued the following Statement last night around 6:12pm concerning UVA and the ACC.

"During the past week there have been numerous reports and rumors linking the University of Virginia to interest in membership in other athletic conferences. Due to the recent changes that have taken place with conference realignment around the nation, I think it is important for us to put an end to this speculation as it relates to UVa.

"The University of Virginia is a proud member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Neither representatives of the athletics department, nor President Teresa Sullivan, has received invitations to nor sought membership in other conferences. The ACC's commitment to its members and their student-athletes is the finest in the country. We look forward to continuing this relationship far into the future. Our goal is to continue supporting the ACC and its initiatives for long-term success.

"I have expressed this stance to ACC Commissioner John Swofford, and I want to take this opportunity to express that same commitment to our alumni, fans, supporters, student-athletes and coaches. We firmly stand behind the Atlantic Coast Conference."
