Syracuse is basketball and lacrosse centric. No way for them.

The ACC is the very best conference in the US for basketball and lacrosse, and football in the ACC is as good as the Big XII. I don't see Pitt having any interest in the Big XII either regardless of WVU. In fact, I could see WVU wanting to get out of the Big XII and join the ACC instead.

This idea of Eastern Schools wanting into the Big XII is crazy. Houston, Memphis, perhaps Cincinnati should be the places they look. Perhaps football only with BYU.

Big 12 learns what we all knew: 12 teams, title game are best for league -- goldendomer 05/02/2016 8:21PM

B12 is not a P5 league ** -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 1:59PM

Seriously??? ** -- Tailgate Guru 05/03/2016 11:15PM

That's the obvious. What we don't know is what new members? -- HOO86 05/02/2016 9:15PM

B12 has a conundrum on their hands -- hokieone 05/03/2016 10:39AM

B12 media deal is for 12 schools not 10 -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:01PM

It's all about texas -- Mercury 05/03/2016 11:59AM

Like the Big East and Miami, the B12 is not much without them ** -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:02PM

Is the consultant telling them to steal from the ACC? ** -- Lakeridgehokie 05/03/2016 09:22AM

I doubt it is possible but they can try -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:03PM

No idea what they are being told. But it would be interesting to know. ** -- HOO86 05/03/2016 12:17PM

I found the old Pac-10 the most enjoyable. -- Maroon Baboon 05/02/2016 9:14PM

I found the PAC 12 unavailable on my TV -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:06PM

But but but they have a network. **** -- Lead Dog 05/03/2016 7:45PM

Unless he's talking network, he's not looking. The Pac12 is on Fox -- reestuart 05/04/2016 11:03AM

I wonder if the ACC and Big 12 are talking to each other. -- VT ChemE 1986 05/02/2016 8:31PM

ACC has too many schools and they need 2... -- VictoryTurkey 05/03/2016 07:40AM

If 2 teams are going to leave the ACC for the Big XII -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 11:48AM

Syracuse is basketball and lacrosse centric. No way for them. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 12:16PM

The Big XII is looking east to tap into the valuable eastern markets -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 12:29PM

Better option is to merge 5 members into the ACC. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 2:17PM

A problem with that is the Big Ten doesn't want Iowa St -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:29PM

It could work if you have regional divisions. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 2:54PM

The WAC tried the 4 regional pod with 2 rotating pod approach too -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:58PM

The WAC covered 4 time zones, and got almost ZERO TV money. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 3:17PM

For the 8 members (most were original members) that left -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 3:14PM

Two 7 team divisions is worse. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 3:27PM

It will require careful consideration and I am not suggesting -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 3:51PM

That is one possible way of setting it up. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 4:50PM

A similar scenario crossed my mind -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 5:56PM

There will still be 2 divisions officially. -- HOO86 05/03/2016 10:21PM

Based on the current bylaws requiring divisions to play a round -- VTHokie2000 05/04/2016 12:54PM

Right, but why would an ACC team leave for the Big12? the travel costs -- corvt2000 05/03/2016 1:17PM

The most logical reason would be money -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:05PM

Bottom line B12 schools are scarfing 12 school monies from -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:07PM

Not necessarily true -- VTHokie2000 05/03/2016 2:12PM

But the B12 has schools like Iowa State, and TCU -- BigCrumpy 05/03/2016 2:05PM

Syracuse is basketball and lacrosse centric. No way for them.
