Can't believe that this thread was derailed by an argument over whether Melbourne is closer to Orlando or Tampa.

Moron's never even been close to being "on" any topic, and now he's lecturing people? Too perfect.

Wow all of those posts, yet still doesn't know how GaUSFBull posts. He's usually on topic. BTW, what did you add to the topic with your post?

 

Back to the topic:

 

I think that we'd get our asses handed to us on a regular basis, for a few years. BUT, we could increase our athletic budget and eventually compete. We would still have UCF on the schedule, and get WVU back on the schedule. I'd take it in a heart beat.

Big 12 would be fun.  Yearly games against teams with massive crowd appeal like Texas, Oklahoma, and West Virginia (an old rival) would draw in more people from the area to watch games.  With the money from the TV deal and traveling fans of these big teams we could have a real athletic budget without subsidizing with our tuition in several years.  We could be in a national spotlight several times a year playing big teams with a big bowl game to look forward to at the end of the year. 

 

ACC would be alright too.  Not as many traditional big name teams but a few in-state rivals to face in Florida State and Miami and good old Louisville back on the schedule.  Basketball would be a challenge every year and also bring in the big bucks with the ACC basketball TV deals.  Another way to balance this budget. 

 

Assuming UCF becomes a package deal, we keep that rivalry in any conference we jump to.  Keeps things interesting.  Just hope we jump this AAC ship fast before we get too sunk-in.  I don't want to have to watch us play nobody teams year in and year out.  This school should be aiming to compete for big conference titles and against big teams with the amount of money the administration puts into athletics.

Well yeah, any P5 conference would be absolutely incredible. All the other nice points you lust would be little bonuses.

Incredibly important we manage to get in, way more than winning on the field/court.

Um, what is the topic?

It was a facetious post. As you can imagine, in a thread like this with more than 5k posts, there have been so many topics that the entire thread should be considered off topic.

We need some Tuxedo Yoda to get us going again.

Longhorns don't want to expand unless they get everything.

 

Texas Longhorns are also getting a new AD FINALLY...and if its Oliver Luck...then look for him to push for Big 12 expansion to 12...and at least one of those teams being from FLA...as WVU Fans (and coaches) are none too happy that their closest conf member is located in a state & area that they never recruit in: Ames, Iowa.

 

WVU has recruited FLA hard for decades...and now not having a conf member in FLA has already impacted them some on the recruiting trail...and will only get worse over time.

 

Then if Luck ends up at Texas...he will no doubt talk soon then to Jerry Jones...who wants to open up a bank vault to lockdown his stadium as the site for all Big 12 Conf Championship Games.

 

It might take a year or two of the playoff committee decisions (i.e. giving extra credit to those teams that play in a conf championship) for the Big 12 to FINALLY act...as human decisions of Final Four will probably give a lot more weight to Conf Championship Games...vs what the computers did.
