Not in the next coupla weeks, no. But the scenario shared by the Purple Cat person, which I've since seen batted about elsewhere, makes intuitive sense; the 3 superconferences bit. Pac, SEC and Big. If that's the case, they're all going to 20. For now, UVA and UNC make a ton of sense. But, if thinking ahead to those next steps, then you can envision what may entirely be wishful thinking on my part -- that is, a return to something close to a Big Ten-like annual round-robin schedule among our traditional rivals, with maybe UNL added in because, admittedly, they are a good fit. As long as Delaney's in charge we have to have stupid names for things, but it would be nice to have a division called the Big Ten within whatever the superconference is going to be called.
Again -- three steps ahead, wishful thinking, etc. But it does seem like the momentum is pushing to 20, and the Big Ten is wise to get UVA and UNC before the SEC do. Then I guess the next step is Ga Tech for the Atlanta market, and to try and get Oklahoma and Texas? That leaves one spot for a certain school...
If they do pods, the Means Justify the End Pod could have Maryland, Rutgers, Tech and Oklahoma. The Ends Justify the Means Pod would have Texas, ND, UVA and NC.
