[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129430929, member: 1500287"] I don't think the ACC would have been the ideal scenario either. The Big 10 would be MORE ideal. Old rivalries with Penn State, Maryland and Rutgers restored, huge game against Ohio State likely every year. Good basketball, great academics, mostly State Schools, more stable than the ACC. SEC would be more ideal than the ACC. Great games against Kentucky,Tennessee, Vanderbilt, S. Carolina and Georgia. Amazing Basketball. The most stable conference in the USA. The thing all 3 conferences have in common? None of them ever invited us. So in some fantasy world, there is some ideal conference. Even the conference of Eastern Schools that never was is another fantasy. We had two REAL possibilities, stay mired in the east in the conference that became the AAC or join the BIG12. Yeah, I'd say the Big 12 was the ideal outcome for us among ACTUAL possibilities. [/QUOTE]
