[QUOTE="LVH, post: 3027137, member: 71239"] I am not as optimistic about our chances to land in a power conference when all is said and done. Especially when Baylor has just won a national championship in basketball which I think puts them above us in the pecking order. Kansas has a powerful enough basketball brand to get scooped up by the Big 10. West Virginia should find its way to the ACC if the ACC wants to counter the SEC expansion. Iowa State's problem is they add nothing to the Big 10. They already have the Iowa market locked down. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State are wildcards. I don't see the Pac 12 being eager to add them because they are not strong academically. The Pac 12 would gladly take them as a package deal with OU/UT, but not by themselves. And they are not strong geographic fits for the ACC. Guess we might as well get familiar with the AAC since that is the heavy favorite for our program when the dust settles. As a betting man I'd say the AAC will merge the 6 Big 12 leftovers with the top schools there. The problem with AAC is each school can make a case for itself. Who are the odd teams out? I could see Tulane being left out and go back to CUSA. Navy would go back to being independent. Merge the 10 remaining AAC teams with the 6 Big 12 leftovers and you have a 16 team conference. It sucks and has no "main event" teams. For all intents and purpsoes it would be a G5 super league. [/QUOTE]
