One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

Louisville president stumping for the school
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoot...ball/21073187/"[The ACC] would be a great conference for us, if we ever had that opportunity," Ramsey told WDRB. "It has great academic schools, great tradition and history going back to 1953. It's changing, has picked up, of course, some schools that were an integral part of the Big East. It's a wonderful conference."
If the ACC is smart they will let Maryland out as smooth and quickly as possible and get Louisville before the Big-12 does. The ACC is already considered the worst of the top 5 football conferences. Florida State is already worried about the conference becoming a basketball conference. Adding UConn only further solidifies the ACC's status as a basketball conference. Louisville adds a much better football team and a pretty damn good basketball team. -

If you're Louisville, would you rather go to the B12 or ACC? I think the ACC is the better overall conference, but I think the B12 is more likely to exist in something resembling its current form for the next decade.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post
It's actually kind of ironic; the ACC is stronger top to bottom in overall value of its institutions, but that actually makes it less stable than the B12. The most attractive conferences in that part of the country (generally) are the BIG and SEC, and since the ACC has more attractive teams it's getting poached by those conferences and the B12 is more likely to survive.Comment

L' bills is a basketball school, and the ACc is college basketball's premiere basketball conference, IMO.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

It seems that the ACC is the new Big lEast. Former Big East schools: VA Tech, Miami, Boston College, Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, and Notre Dame (well, sort of).Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View Post"If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Yep. I think this makes the future of the B12 very precarious. Smallest conference, ACC seems to be reloading from MD loss. When we get to four conferences, the SEC and P12 will carve up the B12, and then we are stuck as an independent.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostJesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Geez. Get a hold of yourself. More likely that the SEC, P12, B12 will all go to 16. I think there are reasonable odds that we get picked up in one of those scenarios.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostLast edited by Jeff Lebowski; 11-28-2012, 08:21 AM."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

But that is at least 8-10 years off given the Big 12 grant of rights, correct? Unless that doesn't mean anything just like all the exit penalties that no one pays.Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostComment

I can see my constant use of the F-word, mysogenistic posts challenging anyone and everyone (except KCCougar's) manhood, frequent homages to the greatest qb in BYU and college football history and stellar sophistry have finally won a convert!Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
The Big-12 will have to expand, I think BYU will be one they eventually pick up but I think there is some hesitancy to wait and see where the final sweet spot, wrt # of teams in a conference, is going to shake out. I think 12 is the optimal # but it appears that it will be at least 14. The only thing that could expedite BYU's eventual BCS ascension is if the Pac is looking to expand and feels it has no choice to add BYU over its other options. Then perhaps the Big-12 will go harder after BYU. I don't know who the Pac will add to expand. The options out west are meager unless they can pry away some of the Big-12 teams.Do Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.
