The Big East is a disaster. I'm guessing that every football school in it is burning up the phones, but I don't know who would want any of them that haven't already left.
I also think that the SEC still wants to go to 16 eventually, but they're not going to do it unless and until they get exactly who they want. I've thought that NC State and VA Tech make sense as a pair, but I've hear speculation lately that something may be in the works with UNC and Duke.
I have absolutely no idea if it's true or not, but it would send a massive shockwave across college athletics by turning SEC basketball into SEC football.

NC State I can see as they want out of the shadow of UNC. VA Tech is joined at the hip of UVA, so leaving might be tough. UNC and Duke are basketball schools and they are king s@#ts in the ACC. Why would they give that up to go to a conference that does not value basketball where they become equals instead of the big dogs? If anything I could see it being FSU and NC State.
