MU in a 20 team ACC

[mu_eyeballs]

Does anyone think that the best pie in the sky...never going to happen, is for MU to be invited to a 20 team ACC...with 16 football teams and 4 basketball only teams.  Just off the top of my head Georgetown, "nova, St. John's and Marquette? 
My problem with this is that MU surely would loose out to someone like Providence because we are not east coast enough(at all)

I want a 20 team Big East:

Basketball could play everyone once and rotate location each year.  Football would have 12 teams and could have a championship game.

Basketball (8):
Marquette
Georgetown
Villanova
Notre Dame
Saint John's
Seton Hall
Providence
DePaul

Football (12):
West Virginia
Rutgers
Louisville
Cincinnati
TCU
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Missouri
Baylor
South Florida
UConn

Did Milwaukee move to Eastern Standard Time?

Perhaps Wisconsin, or maybe just Milwaukee, can pass a law to always stay on daylight savings time.  That way they don't "fall back" an hour during basketball season so they will have the same time as the ACC schools.

20 teams doesn't give a balanced basketball schedule. You'd miss an opponent every year with an 18-game schedule, or play an unbalanced number of home and away games with a 19-game schedule. Unless you had a 4-division format, it doesn't work.

I do not think Duke playing North Carolina only once a year will work either. I really think the ACC took Pitt and Syracuse, because they were afraid of losing some ACC football teams. I wonder what happens, if this dies down and they do not lose any. It looks like SEC will take Missouri for the 14th team, so unless SEC goes to 16 the threat of an ACC team leaving for SEC is gone. Would Maryland jumped to Big 10 or any ACC team jump to Big East? Adding two teams to basketball side reduces the number of home and home games. Adding another two teams makes it worse. In the end the ACC might be thinking they made a mistake.

They could if there was home-and-home in division (8 games) and rotating through the other divisions. Say Duke and UNC are in a Southeast Division with NC State, Wake, and Clemson. Home-and-home, then all the teams host games with a Northeast division, play road games against the Northwest, and don't play the Southwest. Next year, they host the Northwest, play road against the Southwest, and don't play the Northeast, and it continues to rotate.

But would anyone want to be guaranteed 4 games against Duke and UNC every year? It'd likely lead to some unbalanced schedules.
