And here's one out of left field: This writer is usually pretty in tune with the mid-majors. She says TCU has had discussions with the Mountain West about backing out of the Big East and coming back to the conference. And that the Mountain West would probably, emphasize probably, endorse the move. Also, the Mountain West has been discussing some kind of football merger with C-USA... and they've been offering landing spots to Big 12 and Big East teams if the whole thing falls apart. |

The talk about the MWC and C-USA was to have each leagues champion play eachother at the end of the season with the winner being an AQ for the BCS. At least that was the talk a few months ago. I'm not sure if it's still the same, but if either league were to poach teams from the other one, I'd assume it would be the MWC taking some C-USA teams. |

That's some pretty forward thinking stuff by the Mountain West and C-USA. Really most of those schools are in the western 2/3rds of the country, except for UCF and East Carolina. They'd definitely have a lot more pull behind it if they can get TCU back though. You could argue the MWC was better than the Big East in football in some years anyway.
I just don't know about KU to the ACC. I was kind of sarcastically posting that tweet. Not because of geography, I think the Carolina schools would be more likely to throw a fit about the travel than KU. I think they'd make an exception for Texas. Not sure about KU. |

I honestly hope this whole thing never dies out. The fake Dan Beebe twitter feed is hilarious.

People think that there is going to be a conference that consists entirely of teams along the East coast plus one team 1,000 miles away, but I don't get it. Please enlighten me.
The ACC doesn't need Kansas. They have enough basketball firepower. If they want to round out the conference, they have the rest of the Big East to raid. UCONN is sitting right there. Louisville, is out there. Hell, Cincy would make more sense than Kansas. They are a poor geographic fit, yet they are still 500 miles closer than Lawrence. |
