So is this primarily for football, because if it is basketball, the ACC would rape everyone.
Dear god, WVU, UCONN, UNC, Duke, Pitt, Syracuse, Cincy, Wake……..VT…… (lol)
ACC basketball would be borderline unbeatable…

I mean I want to see the Big 12 die as much and anyone, but srsly… Its a pretty far fetch for the Pac-10 to allow 6 new members. I thought I read sumwhere that the PAC10 comish was saying yes they are open to expansion, but no they won’t expand greatly?
I read on ESPN that the Pac-10 is ready to offer invites to all 6 of those schools. Of course the only school that matters there is Texas. Texas will bolt if Nebraska leaves the Big 12.

ACC has already stated that they also are interesting in taking ECU if the opportunity arises. ECU plays nearly all the ACC schools anyways.
ECU brings the ACC absolutely nothing. They already own that TV market with the triangle being so close by, ECU would be mid pack at best in football, and ECU doesn’t fit the ACC’s academic demographics.

I doubt the SEC will want to expand though, historically they like to keep it simple only lettings one or two teams leave and come.
Really the SEC doesn’t have much reason to expand; they already have a very lucrative TV deal and unless they can grab schools in a different region they don’t already own (NC State? Baylor? USF? Kansas?), it really makes no sense for them. I mean GA Tech, Florida State, and Clemson don’t get them much of anything as far as new TV markets go.

Colorado has no business in the PAC10 – they needs to be in the MWC cause they are *edited*ties.
Colorado would be perfect for MWC if PAC10 took Baylor instead. I mean if MWC could grab up Kansas, K State, Iowa State, they would be a pretty decent conference after all is said and done.
Honestly though I think Notre Dame will join Big 10 and that will pretty much end all this; Pac 10 might expand to 12 by grabbing a couple MWC schools and MWC might grab some WAC schools to compensate. I’m still surprised that MWC didn’t invite Boise State though.
