3star_recruit Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...-2003Jun14.html Excerpts: "A bunch of schools met to look at the 'what-ifs' from the ripple effect if the proposed ACC expansion goes through," Gladchuk said. "It was people I've known and worked with for a long time, and it's no different from what a lot of people around college football are doing now. We wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't do this. . . . If the ACC expands, things are going to happen, and they're going to happen quickly. "We need to be thinking about what we would do." The ACC has extended preliminary invitations to Big East schools Boston College, Miami and Syracuse. ACC presidents are not expected to vote on the proposed expansion until this week at the earliest. A source familiar with Thursday's meeting said a seven- or eight-team conference would be formed and would include Army, Navy, Rice, Southern Methodist, Tulane and Tulsa. Another source said those schools had discussed forming a football-only conference last year. The logistics of joining a conference with Rice, SMU, Tulane and Tulsa are not as daunting as it may appear. Navy is scheduled to play Tulane next year and in 2004 and Tulsa in 2004 and 2005. The Midshipmen are scheduled to play Army and Rice in each of the next three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Talk about a traveling nightmare for minor sports both cost and time. I could see this as a football only conference but not for everything else. Why would Tulsa put their BB team in this situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 the football makes sense but nothing else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
