[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like they should just let football create some super-conferences...and the remaining sports just compete within a conference that makes geographic and historical sense.[/quote]

This!  They should allow football to join these quasi-NFL leagues and let the other sports continue to play in their regional conferences.  Sort of like how ND is independent in football but oddly with the ACC for all other sports--- makes sense for ND to be in the B1G obviously.

With adding Stanford and Cal next year, the ACC will be right after the Ivy League when it comes to the academic prowess of their schools.  The B1G will be a distant third.[/quote]

"Right after" the Ivy League is misleading.  The ACC will run the gamut.  The Ivy League does not run the gamut.[/quote]

The B1G is coherent and made up of huge research dollar, large alumni base and flagship institutions.

The Ivy is all private northeast elite universities

The ACC is an incoherent, unrelated, geographically nonsensical, unvaluable media, grab bag of leftovers.[/quote]

B1G is completely incoherent as a college athletics association.  It is a coast-to-coast football minor league.[/quote]
