Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Either way- makes it easier for their fans.
Nah, but now we wont be the only school in the conference without baseball, Colorado doesnt have it either.
Let's throw em a bone. Add OR State in wrestling only.
JFC this dude is a shark.
ISU is not really an outlier, looking at the map, Iowa is adjacent. The 3 other eastern schools are much more outliers.
UConn is more palatable to me now that we have all 4 of the PAC schools and I can get on board with it.
Still not on board with Gonzaga
Oh I could see that as a possibility, but their are other Pac schools with wrestling that will be looking,
With all our extra affiliated wrestling schools not sure how many they will really want to add.
Oregon St, Stanford, Cal-Poly, CSU Bakersfield, and Little Rock are Pac wrestling, now that ASU is in the B12.
I could see the B12 adding OSU and Stanford in wrestling. Depending on what they do. The MWC doesnt have Wrestling, But I have a hard time believing they will add the other 3 Pac affiliates.
Stanford fields the second most teams in D-I with 36 (Harvard is #1 with 42, Ohio State #3 with 33).
The Director’s Cup only scores 19 teams max per school (baseball, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and then the 15 highest rated teams after that).
While they have an advantage over a lot of schools, there are several with comparable opportunity. Stanford dominates the Directors Cup because they are the best all-around athletic department. They’ve won 134 NCAA team titles.
My state school educated ass read that as “Ivy BOCDHPY” and wondered what that phrase meant
At this point let him do what he wants. If he adds UConn and Gonzaga as basketball members only, then that's the cherry on tip.
I have to say, it would be weird to have a school as an almost all-sports member but then know they are playing an independent football schedule. I get that Notre Dame is that way with the ACC, but that makes sense because it’s…Notre Dame. They have a national brand. I know this was also BYU with the WCC, but they didn’t sponsor football. Just would be very strange.
You’d also have to assume there would be some sort of football scheduling arrangement made with UConn, similar to Notre Dame’s.
