Yeah, another future realignment post. Hope the conferences stop at 20 teams. 20 teams is still way too much but here goes:
Big 10: North Carolina, Miami (20 teams)
SEC: Virginia Tech, NC State, Florida State, Clemson (20 teams)
Big 12: Pittsburgh, Louisville (18 teams)
Additional Big 12 possibilities:
1. Virginia (not super passionate about football but good in basketball, academics, new territory)
2. Duke (see Virginia above but worse football but better basketball)
3. Syracuse (bridge to UConn, good basketball brand, help obtain NYC)
4. UConn (big basketball brand, help obtain NYC)
I know Yormark really wants NYC but think it would Virginia and Duke. Virginia to add to the Cincy, Louisville, WVU, Pittsburgh (and Duke) region.
Everybody has penciled in Virginia to the Big 10 but I left them out for Miami to get Big 10 into Florida. If Big 10 goes above 20 teams, yeah, Virginia (and Georgia Tech) are in.
Hate leaving Central Florida on an island but not sure what can be done unless USF builds up their brand.
