Since when do you control conversation on a message board? This isn't the DMR, it's a platform to discuss topics, if you have no interest, don't read. For me message boards are the modern version of the corner bar, where people bull-$hit on any and all topics!
East Coast realignment is a valid conversation based on Double Fries straw man for ACC dissolution You might not agree with the Vlog or maybe you think the ACC is going to be around until 2036, but money is usually a pretty big motivation for change. I agree with SE Clone, the only reason Rutgers is a P5 school is the BTN revenue model. There is no way the other P4 conferences would have added Rutgers.
IMO (yes my opinion) Syracuse would be a great choice in a 20 team Big12 once CFB moves to 3 Power Conferences. Look back, ACC expansion in 2013- the ACC adds were ND, Pitt and Syracuse. Louisville was added when Maryland decided to leave a year later. I also feel Louisville's athletic department has a history of being a bit sketchy.
20 Team Big 12
East Coast Division
WVU, Syracuse, Pitt, NCST, Va Tech
Midwest Division
ISU, KU, KSU, OSU, Cincy
Southern Division
UCF, Houston, Baylor, TT, TCU
West Division
Arizona, Arizona, Utah, BYU, CU
I would like Louisville in the Big12, but that would probably mean a 24 team Big12.
