[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 885202, member: 2426"] Almost half of the ACC's members were members of the Big East. Five were poached directly from the Big East. One joined one year after leaving the Big East when Big East football had basically ended. (because of departures to the ACC and conflict with football/non-football conference members) ND was a member in sports except for football, and left for the ACC in a similar fashion. I don't see how the current situation is any different. Departures for the ACC are what caused the Big East to collapse. In general, I don't like how things are progressing and how it appears that we are headed for two major conferences with many left on the outside. However, you can't blame USC and UCLA for wanting an opportunity to get more exposure and more money. The left over teams in the PAC12 will not have as much, but should we require UCLA to accept less money and less exposure to ensure that Oregon State doesn't lose money and exposure? Should a business partner leave for an opportunity to make 10 times the income in his current business, or should he stay to ensure that his partner doesn't lose income? I don't think it is evil and greedy to look out for yourself first, within reason. And I don't think the conference realignment would be "collusion" because the SEC & Big10 nor ESPN & Fox are working together. They are trying to compete with each other. [/QUOTE]
