University presidents love to hobnob with presidents from other highly

rated universities. And the Big 10 loves to pretend academics are important so they can look down their noses at other sports conferences. But other than that, there is absolutely no reason academics and athletics need to be linked.

Will not merge but
MrFantastic! • 04/30/25 06:51 AM ET
No need to merge. The ACC should target certain desirable B12 schools. **

NO!!!!!!**

Big 12 didn’t want Calford or SMU last time. Calford prob didn’t want B12.

Our peers. Bigger conferences. And more.

What evidence do you have that university presidents are like that?
Pylons • 04/21/25 12:54 PM ET
I don't know about the hobnobbing, as personalities differ, but I bet
Big12 guy • 04/21/25 01:18 PM ET
Of course. And conference membership has nothing to do with that
Pylons • 04/21/25 01:25 PM ET
I agree. Otherwise, MIT would be in the Big 10, ACC, and PAC. **

5 team pods for football, and maybe

I'll start my own sports conference, with blackjack and hookers!**
HokieNoVA • 04/18/25 12:57 PM ET
Are you kicking one out? Maybe add three and then have 9 team divisions?
Truthahn • 04/18/25 12:50 PM ET
P2 isn’t done. Anybody thinking that is just hoping aloud.
hokieZ71 • 04/19/25 11:15 AM ET
I'm game
obguthr • 04/18/25 03:00 PM ET
If we have to kick out one, it should be BC.**
HokieNoVA • 04/18/25 01:35 PM ET
Not kicking anyone out. ND is welcome to be a member should they desire. **
hokie4ever • 04/18/25 01:11 PM ET
And they don't even have to be a football member...
