More conference realignment talk

[bilsu]

It's not that complicated.  In addition to bringing in Gonzaga, you also add Notre Dame and Kansas.

You split into two divisions, West and East

West is Gonzaga, Creighton, Kansas, DePaul, Marquette, Butler and Notre Dame

East is St. John's, GTown, Providence, Villanova, Xavier, Seton Hall and UConn

Round robin in your division and 8 games against the other division, 4 road and 4 home.  You play 1 team twice based on standings from the previous year.

Beep, boop, bop.  You sell your TV rights to the highest bidder and watch the cash flow in.

That'll be $5,000,000 consulting fee

Power 5 Football schools are not going to join a non football conference.

I am not saying we should or that we should like it, but the most likely schools that fit in are St Louis and either Dayton and Loyola. If you take Dayton, then you put a Ohio school in each division. If you take Loyola than you put a Chicago school in each division. I rather just take Gonzaga and split into two 6 team divisions

Eastern division(traditional members)
Georgetown
Providence
Seton Hall
Uconn
Villanova
St. John's
If you go to 7
Dayton or Loyola


Western division(newer members)
Gonzaga
Creighton
Marquette
DePaul
Xavier
Butler
If you go to 7
St. Louis

No thanks.  Divisions in basketball leagues are going away at most places.  The BE shouldn't adopt them now.

Yep.  That alignment looks awful for MU.  No thanks.

[Billy Hoyle]

Sounds like Gonzaga is definitely bouncing, its just a matter of where.

I dont like losing the round robin.

Might be time to eject a team.

Nope, try again. The only option for them is the Mountain West. They're getting what they want with the WCC not expanding and keeping 75% of their tourney units.

What do you mean by "try again?"

What do you mean by "try again?"

I'm curious too.

[Badgerhater]

Adding Loyola, Dayton and St Louis is the equivalent of the suboptimal schools the old big east was trying to add when Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville etc we're leaving which convinced the Catholic 7 to create the new BIg East.

[Billy Hoyle]

What do you mean by "try again?"

Every few months this forum says there's "smoke' GU is Big East bound. It isn't happening, and it's mutual on both sides.

And St. Mary's. Even more hilarious. Learn how cash strapped they really are before suggesting they start sending baseball and soccer across the country for road games. Their last AD bailed for Sacramento State because the university refused to fund a new gym for basketball. Much of their athletic department staff works out of trailers.

Someone is reporting UCLA and USC to the Big Ten.

If true the NCAA is probably all but completely done for.

[Uncle Rico]

What about travel 😂😂

[The Sultan]

Watching USC play some November Saturday night in Iowa will be fun.

[GoldenEagles03]

Why would the NCAA be done for?

They'd probably just boot a few like Rutgers and Maryland and slide Gonzaga to the PAC. Is this just for football or basketball too?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Kansas, come on home

Lol

"It's too far for Gonzaga to be in the Big East!"...LOL.

[The Sultan]

Gotta wonder what schools like Notre Dame, Clemson, Florida State are thinking right now...

[fjm]

"It's too far for Gonzaga to be in the Big East!"...LOL.

Yep that was my first thought

[fjm]

What about travel 😂😂

Gonzaga players can't fly that far cause it's too long sitting on a private jet.

I'd throw in Oregon, Duke, North Carolina as well.

Immediate "losers" that come to mind: Arizona, Washington, all the remaining future Big 12 schools.

Big 12/PAC-12 bastard league is coming.  ACC will have schools poached as well.  I'd say UNC, Virginia, Duke, Georgia Tech, Clemson and FSU will be attractive

Travel has never been an issue for big boy schools when it comes to realignment, nor has Olympic sports

[jesmu84]

Big ten and SEC will continue to poach until 2 30 team mega conferences. Then go on their own for football
