[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1003411, member: 2426"] I don't think anyone believes that the Big10 and SEC can be "stopped". I just think that the ACC isn't as weak as many seem to believe. It was the public opinion that the ACC was going to be the first P5 conference to fold, yet it is the number three conference at the moment instead of the first to fold. The Big12 lost their first tier of teams. How many members of the Big12 were G5 teams 10 years ago? If you had listed their members as a conference 10 years ago, everyone would have believed that they were a G5 conference. I think there is going to be a huge shift in FBS football in the next few years. I think it is highly possible that before the next round of "conference realignment" there is an entire realignment of FBS football. That is part of the reason that I question FSU's lawsuit. IF half of FBS is moved to a "professional" division and half is moved to an "academic" division, then there will be issues to work through with conference affiliations and GORs. Those issues will be probably be worked through in a more civil manner. FSU is setting themselves up as a team that everyone wants in the "professional" division, but nobody wants in their circle. i.e. Everyone wants them in the "professional" division, but nobody wants them in their conference or whatever the setup is.
