Troy Calhoun says Super-Conferences will be addressed in 90 days

[Vinny]

I say lets leave the SEC. We don't need them at all. Look at the Golden Domers. They are in the Big East with eveything except football. Why can't we do the same thing?

Add Memphis to the West and Clemson or GA Tech to the East?

Tech had their chance and left the SEC because they didnt want to share bowl money.......Memphis and Clemson? Are you serious? Why not add ua wanna b??????:conf2:

Wonder how that would shake up the divisions? What about the other two teams? Any speculation as to which ones?

Practically speaking, we would probably see Miami and FSU added to the East, but they could always put FSU in the west. That would be best to maintain a balance between the two divisions. If not, move KY or Vanderbilt to the west.

They guessed at the other 2, but those were not known by them. The host said maybe Georgia Tech, Louisville, Houston or Memphis.

Anybody but Miami.

If it will do away with the ncaa as the governing body, and their stupid scholorship limits, I'm for it.

Would love to see the scholorship limit gone, or raised to a reasonable number;
and would love a governing body that put everyone on a level playing field and didn't get caught up with backstabbers who spend more trying to tear down their rivals than they spend supporting and developing their own programs.

To be shed of the ncaa, and have sane scholarship limits and recruiting rules would be worth 4 extra teams!!! :BigA: :BigA:

It's already not really geographical... Auburn is more to the east than Vandy

True, but if it was, Bama would lose either UT or AU every year. Sort works to our advantage if we want to keep our rivalries.

I agree. They don't consistantly fill the Orange bowl. Plus, its MIAMI.

You can't have Vandy and MSU in the same division. What do you think this is, the Big 12 North?

Why not have North and South divisions if we are going to expand to a super-conference anyways?

The website is a lowly one, not considered relevant enough for other organizations to comment on their stories. And a search for Troy Calhoun on Google news does not list any of his super conference comments........so this is a small nugget of an article.

It reminds me of the "three weeks" threads on the AU ITAT board - always good for five minutes of fame...

It is what it is

Couldnt agree more. If Miami came to the SEC, the "class" level of the conference would be cut in half. Miami is by far my most despised team. It would turn my stomach to see them in the SEC.

 

[Bamabelle in ga]

My request is to keep the SEC "real" by leaning towards those teams that have a HISTORY with the conference. Ga Tech is a natural here and I know many of the Techsters agree. Many regret the decision made by Bobby Dodd to get out of the conference and view it as a mistake. Miami does nothing for the conference but bring it down.

I could see Ga Tech coming back, but we would need another team to make two equal divisions. FSU, Clemson, and Louisville have been tossed around. What do you think?

From what I hear from some of my FSU friends in certain journalistic career fields is that FSU will jump at that opportunity for many $$$$ reasons.

I think FSU would be a good fit too. I was *told* that years ago, Bobby Bowden told FSU not to join the SEC because all the SEC did was beat up each other, and to joing the ACC instead. With Bowden gone, who knows.

Of those three, my vote would be Clemson or fsu. Neither overwhelm me.
