Which is more appealing, a FSU/Clemson less ACC or the BEast in 2013?

Thats actually a good question...

ACC by leaps and bounds

Tradition, TV ratings, and fan support are all that really matter.

In terms of football, the Big East would be better, but that's secondary

No it isn't, ACC is still a better, stable conference. Every team in the Big East will jump ship if given the chance. IF USF were to get an invite, we better take it.

USF make more sense than Clemson. Would give B12 a huge presence in FL and travel partners. ACC is a pipe dream for USF until academics improve more based on what I've read. Although USF might be close in a few years, the fact is its a state school that can't set the bar too high.

Clemson averages 80,000 fans. If they're taking FSU what sense does it to take USF?

Big 12 commissioner Neinas lashes out at Big East, Missouri

While West Virginia tussles with the Big East and the 27-month notification it is insisting WVU comply with, Missouri has moved on and is already a part of the SEC schedule. Both issues leave the Big 12 in a precarious position just days before the league’s Feb. 1 deadline to release a 2012 football schedule.

“The Big East gets on planes and flies all over the country inviting other schools,” Neinas told The Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette. “But they raise hell when West Virginia wants to come to the Big 12?

“We didn’t solicit West Virginia; West Virginia solicited us — as did other Big East schools,” he added. “It seems to me the Big East has a double standard. And the Big East was talking about (automatic qualifying status to the BCS). There’s not going to be AQs in the near future.”

That's really good stuff...

I thought Neinas was more intelligent than that .... Sounds like a petulant little baby.

Neither the ACC or the B12 wants USF, moving on.

Not surprising, I don't think we are any longer viewed as a program on the way up.
