Since its basically the most exciting thing going on right now, what is everyone's opinions on the conference realignment? Do you think its good or bad for business? As a student at the University of Tennessee i'm diligently watching for any news of who the SEC is adding if anyone. Right now i'm hoping for Texas A&M and Virginia Tech(Which would be very hard to pull away from the ACC) if we go to 14 and maybe West Virginia and either Maryland or Missouri if we go 16. Well i guess these are the ones i think are plausible. I would love North Carolina or Duke but growing up in ACC country i couldn't fathom them being in any conference. I'm rambling now, so Huddle what is your opinion on all the movement in college football?

P.S. sorry for the off topic but there hasn't been much movement lately and i'm tired of looking at Thomas Davis tears ACL, makes me sick to my stomach.

You are forgetting about basketball. UNC and Duke can bring in a lot more in basketball than football.

There is no reason to jump into the SEC unless they show a serious commitment to improving their basketball.

UNC and Duke are a few of the exceptions, in most cases the football program brings in so much more $$$ than the basketball program that schools are going to consider what is best for the football program first and foremost.

This is being done for one sport.......football. the big money (television contracts) are in football. That's why Kansas is being hung out to dry in the Big12. They have a great basketball program but their football sucks and no major conference wants them. They'll have to join a mid-major.

I love what's happening because it could lead to the NCAA getting cut out of major college football. That would make me very happy.

Wvu will never leave the Big East as long as the teams already in there, stay. And I dont think adding Texas A&M to the SEC helps the SEC out that much, they're pretty mediocre in football as of late. It would be nice to see VT in the SEC but enless they're guaranteed some huge cash, I doubt it happens.

The sad thing about the expansion is it doesn't look like it is mainly about the quality of the athletics. It seems to be all about who they can add that is decently competitive in football that is in a big tv market, they are trying to expand the viewers. There was a report the other day that the SEC will not take Miami, Florida State, Clemson, or Georgia Tech because they wont add enough money to the pot, even though it would help make the SEC an even better conference. I find all this weird though because i dislike the idea of just taking another conferences team, i have a lot of good opinions on the ACC. I guess its just all part of the business though.

The nice thing about all the conferences consolidating is that it could lead to a college football playoff system.

True dat. I'm tired of my hokies winning the ACC and then heading to the orange bowl everyother year. At least a four team braket

      Reasons for Optimism

      I'm sorry but I don't agree.  Maybe a win but will not be in the playoffs.

      1.) Panthers have been alternating wins and losses. Which means we are gonna win against Tampa twice and make the playoffs. 2.) No new injuries coming out of last night that I am aware of. We are very healthy compared to other teams and if we get Hunt back that would be amazing. 3.) Maybe that loss ticked them off enough to take it seriously and play disciplined. Put in the extra time because you are running out! 4.) We cannot afford to let up through the remainder of the year unless we win the next two and Tampa loses to MIA. I did not like idea of people resting. Just look what happened after the bye. 5.) Even if we do not make it to the dance, the guys are getting playoff experience right now. If we are close but just miss it, they can pack that feeling up and into next season. Maybe we can continue to retain critical pieces at an affordable rate if they want to run it back. 6.) We are set up better as far as salary cap/dead money next year compared to the last several years. Tillis and Morgan will get to play some. 7.)  ATL is unsettled at QB position and will have a new coach. TB may be at end of window. NO honestly seems like biggest problem to me but hopefully the salary cap situation there will continue to hamstring them. 8.) Our rookie class looked really good, should see a lot of production from them in Year 2. Year 3 of Morgan/Tillis should see us be able to fill the remaining holes. Next year is really the year we would be on schedule to do something.
