At the rate we are going, it wouldn’t surprise me.

All we need is for KU and OSU to find a new home and we'll be fine. That will open up a plethora of options.Originally posted by Fake Gregg Marshall View PostComment

So do we anticipate that football, men's and women's basketball, and volleyball (where all 14 schools field teams) will be conducted on a divisional setup? Two 7 team divisions. 12 games per year vs your division (home and away), 7 games per year vs other division (4 home, 3 away and 3 home, 4 away in atlernating years) for a total of 19 conferenence games except for football.
Sports where division play not needed
Baseball - Played By 10 of the 14 teams
Softball - Played By 10 of the 14 teams
Men's Soccer - Played By 9 of the 14 teams (Typically only play single games vs Conference opponents)
Women's Soccer - Played by 12 of the 14 teams (Typically only play single games vs Conference opponents)
Woulld not apply to Golf, Tennis or XC/Track & Field, et. al. which do not have regular season conference championships.
East Division
South Florida

UAB
Tulane (Navy For Football)
West Division
Memphis

As I commented in post #116 of this thread, I don't think Memphis will be "West" if divisions are used for basketball. UAB and Memphis are the closest schools to each other, and have a historical rivalry in the same vein as WSU-Tulsa. I think Tulane goes West instead if they decide on divisions. Should be interesting to see what transpires.Originally posted by 1972Shocker View Post“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying.

I think this will happen as well and like CB I believe it will cause what is left to dissolve.Originally posted by C0|dB|00ded View PostComment

I think the B12 eventually becomes the AAC if/when those two bounce. Hopefully that means us and NAVY join (probably AF too).Originally posted by pogo View Post
IF the B12 stays where they are, then we have to hope that Memphis, SMU, and Tulsa head to the MWC (and we are included). Then add the Zags and life is good again. Bad time-zone but...
Our league could be almost bearable if no further changes to membership happen. But if Memphis and SMU bounce leaving us behind.... the party's over.

Yeah, I thought about that as a possibility. I guess I went more with what I would like to see than maybe what is most likely. But as you say we we'll see how it shakes out.Originally posted by Wuzee View PostComment

One thing that can be said about Owls: They are silent but deadly.

I hope that they do not do divisions for men’s basketball and continue to schedule to help the teams that are expected to be at the top of the league. They could do this with a 18,19 or 20 game schedule. If divisions, based on 1972’s idea, I would swap Rice and UAB. That keeps Rice and Tulane together and UAB and Memphis together which is better geographically. Rice and Tulane can have the Scholar’s Bowl. It isn’t better overall for Rice, but they have a lot of money and can afford the travel, but it makes for a much better division for WSU.
