With all the conference realignments going on, here are my ideas:
Big 12- I think that the Big 12 should add TCU and Houston to replace Nebraska and Colorado.
Some people like Jerry Jones want Arkansas and Notre Dame to join the conference, but this will not happen.
Notre Dame will not give up its Independent status along with their television rights, and I cant imagine that Arkansas will want to leave the SEC.
It would be nice to see Texas and Arkansas renew their rivalry on a yearly basis.
Big East- It is almost certain that Villanova will be joining the Big East in football. Villanova is already a member of this conference in every other sport.
Another interesting choice should be UCF which would give USF an instate rival.
The final two spots should go Temple, and to Memphis.
Some people don't like Memphis here, so how about one of those top teams from the CAA like a Richmond, James Madison, UMASS or Delaware?
The Big East would have 12 teams and would be able to have a championship game.
The conference that I am concerned about is the WAC.
Boise State, Fresno State and Nevada are leaving the conference to join the Mountain West.
The replacements that have been mentioned are not very impressive.
The WAC has announced that UT-SA and Texas State will be joining the conference, and that they have sent invites to Montana, Montana State and North Iowa. Rumour has it. they are interested in Eastern Washington, must be the Red Turf.
Are you kidding me? Six FCS schools?
Of the remaining WAC schools, there are lots of rumours flying around.
Hawaii wants to go independent, Utah State wants to join the MWC, and Louisiana Tech wants to leave for either Conference USA or the Sun Belt for financial reasons.
The future looks grim for this conference.
I honestly believe that the remaining schools will have to join the MWC and other conferences.
