Posted before but the ones I want are VT, Louisville, Pitt, and Miami. I think I'd swap Cuse for Georgia Tech there. Horrendous at both major sports and haven't been good in a long while.
VT, Pitt, Louisville, GT, and Miami added to WVU, Cincy, and UCF would make for a nice Big 12 East. If we get 3 of those we'll have done well. I think Miami and VT may be near locks for P2.
The Big 12 being the P3 is best for ISU, but most possible scenarios will have us in the east if they go divisions imo. Hopefully we can force a pod with other R8 schools. Getting Stanford and Cal to BIG would help.
West:
UW, Oregon, Utah, BYU, CU (West pod)
AZ, ASU, TT, TCU, Houston (SW pod)
East:
Baylor, Ok St, KSU, KU, ISU, (central pod)
Cincy, UL, Pitt, WVU, UCF (east pod)
Cuse takes UL's spot if they get a P2 invite.
If Stanford and Cal are in there, CU gets moved to SW pod, and we add Cuse and GT to get to 24 (I think ESPN would roll the ACC Network into the Big 12 network, so Cuse and GT have more value then).
Miami, VT, NC St, are all obvious takes if available, but it seems very unlikely the ACC splits up and they are. In that order imo. If we have Stanford and Cal, which happens first, I think Pitt would be the first cut, say in favor of Miami. If VT is also available, I wonder if we'd would go past 24 given the risk some later leave for P2. I don't see any of the new adds getting kicked out- that's a dangerous path.
