I am a big ND fan, and I 100% agree with you. It seriously pisses me off that they won't just join a conference already. No reason for them not to join the ACCI'm just sick and tired of Notre Dame being good but not great and spoiling the good thing we have going because they are a bunch of insufferable assholes and won't join a conference. The way it is now we can't ever tell if they deserve a spot until they've already taken one and that seems like the worst possible outcome for everyone.
Recruiting.Why would those instate teams want UCF to not be in their conference?
True, but they are already part of the ACC for Basketball, so may as well make it the same for Football.Big 10 would make the most sense for them geographically.
Recruiting.
Being in a real conference absolutely helps with recruiting. It's zero sum, if UCF gets better recruits, someone else is getting worse recruits.That doesn't make sense to me. The whole country recruits heavily in Florida, it's one of the most heavily recruiting states in the country.
The reason the Big XII needs shutting down is because the leadership is incompetent. When the playoffs expand to 8 teams, 5 big conferences wouldn't be a problem with the "Conference Champions automatically get a spot" rule. But the Big XII is so totally incompetent that I bet they could find a way to screw up having 8 shots at it.Hey, I'm all for the Big XII shutting down as a league and making 4 16 team super conferences. This whole selection committee bullshit is old and tired. Play the goddamn games on the field.

Just bounce with Okie State to the SEC.
Sure, as long as Alabama and Auburn go to the East.
I was pushing for OU and OSU to the SEC when Nebraska and Colorado left. It really is a shame that never happened.
I'm actually kind of hoping that OU snags a DC from the SEC to replace Mike Stoops and actually make us good again. I think we could get Miss State's D coordinator if we wanted. Of course, I've said that stuff before and for some brain dead reason OU doesn't seem to be able to go out and hire whoever the fuck they want from the 100+ schools that they should be able to take a coordinator from without even trying.
