you are the lowest level of homer: you care enough about ND to post every god damn thing you hear on recruiting, uniforms, etc., but you arent like the other homers (i.e. Pitty), who think their teams will win the National Title in every sport, every year, not matter how shitty they really are...Comment

Back on topic, I don't see what WVU is gaining. They are going to a much tougher football conference, but a less prestigious basketball conference. And the travel is going to be brutal for all their sports teams. It will be interesting to see how WVU football competes against the better Big12 teams.
Its like WVU jumped off the ship when it was taking on water...but they didn't wait to see if the ship could be saved. Might be a tough swim for WVU.Comment

I have heard some rumblings that if the Big XII expands back to 12 members, USF will be invited to join. I hope to God this happens. Otherwise we are stuck in a horseshit conference with Houston, SMU, UCF, Navy and Boise State. BSU would only be the saving grace to hold onto a possible AQ status.Maddon & Friedman: Pissing off the AL East since 2008

Luck and Clements (and mostly, the fanbase) only care about football, and the schools Marinotto was talking about bringing on to replace Pitt and Cuse didnt sit well with either... Holgz has an extensive recruiting background in Texas, so they figure he can make up some ground there... As for the conference being tougher, I have no doubt in my mind we will at least by on the level of Okie State...Comment

The Big East should just go back to being a basketball-only conference. Trying to replace schools like Pitt, Syracuse, & West Virginia with schools like Air Force, Houston, and SMU isn't really going to lift the Big East back to Automatic BCS qualifier status. And by letting in these non-geographic, lame basketball schools into the conference is just going to hurt the existing basketball schools.
The Big East should allow the UConns (if they don't go to the ACC) and Louisvilles to remain in the Big East for basketball, and then they should pick up some other basketball-only schools like Xavier, UMass, etc.Comment

Tough talk now but who knows. I could see ND joining and playing a "soft" ACC schedule of 3-4 games a year too if things shake out a certain way.Originally posted by heelswxman
Honestly if ND joined the ACC for all sports I'd be for it. The only rivalries I care about preserving are USC and Michigan. I'd gladly trade the MSU and Purdue rivalries for a new ND-Miami and ND-F$U annual or semi-annual series.Comment

Well it'd be a partial membership no matter what... I doubt ND's hockey team joins.Originally posted by heelswxman

I doubt it as well.Originally posted by heelswxman
The ACC makes too much sense for them in basically every aspect but "geography" to not join.
If ND isn't committed to the ACC in one form or another by the end of the calendar year I'd be shocked.Comment

at me being a "homer" for a school who's biggest sport doesn't have a conference and will more than likely be heading for the best basketball conference anyways.
