CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Felt this was relevant to future speculation on realignment.

1. Assume the ACC basically has to dissolve once Clemson, FSU, UNC and one or two other programs get snatched up by the B1G/SEC

2. Big 12 goes after 5-6 of the ACC leftovers (Miami, GT, Louisville, NC State, VT, etc)

3. Probably a decent possibility UCLA decides the B1G isn’t worth roughly the same as they could have had by staying more regional, especially when they are likely a perennial bottom 1/4 program in the B1G.

4. They get Stanford and Cal to join them in going into the Big 12, a conference that could be upwards of 24-28 schools that has western and eastern divisions.

 
As a side note, I could easily see UCF surpassing FSU as the #2 state school in Florida. Both have upward trajectories, but UCF business, medical, and engineering schools are rising faster. Outside investment in Orlando is much higher than in Tallahassee, which is a government town where most of the lawmakers wish they didn’t have to visit.

This also applied to Orlando.
 
North Carolina now talking about leaving the ACC

The rumors of realignment in college athletics are back and the latest report on Monday afternoon focused solely on the University of North Carolina and its future in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

A report from WRAL suggests that the university Board of Trustees has met several times in closed-door sessions about the future of athletics and that a push to leave the ACC is becoming more and more likely.
