Lets get the speculation and rumors rolling.

Who is going where...

RU and Maryland to Big10....

Who pays the 50 millin ACC exit fee?

Does ND become a full ACC member?

Penn State to the ACC?

Will the Big 12 expand as well?

Who will get BYU?

Can FSU get out of the ACC?

Will the SEC go to 16, say V Tech and Clemson?

All of the above may happen eventually, how much time do you give it... never? 2, 4, 6, 10 years?

Who cares.

The only fact we know is without a doubt USF will be relegated to a Sun Belt type conference.

A permanent banishment for USF to small time football.

This is the only 100% fact we know.

Thanks, Skip.

I'm not so sure. I think both USF and UCF, just based on the size of the schools and FL exposure have a good chance of being picked up.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

USF's only chance was to be Good, and good Right Now, since they have no history on their side.

didn't happen and now USF will never be picked up by a power conference as all the seats will be taken.

Skip killed USF football.

None of this conference expansion has taken into account the recent success of teams. If it did, Texas A&M and Mizzou would NOT be in the SEC.

And Nebraska?

USF wasn't picked for the BE because of their recent success either.

Has nothing to do with our last 2 seasons.

Exactly. The ACC took Syracuse and Pitt from the Big East...hardly football powerhouses.

The Big 10 is taking Maryland and Rutgers....Maryland is an awful football program and Rutgers has gotten competetive since Schiano took over, but they are one of the worst programs in the history of college football.

It seems like academic prestige is really weighed heavily in these moves.

Wouldn't this be like conference realignment 5.0 or something ?

We are a long shot to survive this, and now we're hooked to UCF as a packaged deal most likely. Really wish we could distance from them, we're much better off being tied to UL and UC like we used to be.

Need major major shake ups to save us.

It's good that this is happening, the BE before Rutgers left was crap anyway, it won't get that much worse. All we can hope for are major changes that open up opportunities for us.

And don't forget Colorado. They were terrible in the Big 12 before switching conferences
