These odds are completely nonsensical. Baylor, really? Louisville, even more really?

Clemson +250
Florida State +250
Miami +325
Louisville +500
Baylor +500

The targets for both the Big 10 and the SEC are North Carolina and Virginia, and it will shake down from there.

If the SEC goes to 20, UNC, UVA, Florida State, and Clemson are the ideal targets. We might double up and take Virginia Tech, NC State, or Duke if we need to. Miami is a possibility, but not at those odds. Oklahoma State is the only Big 12 school that has a chance, but not a great one. If the Big 10 somehow totally locks us out of the whole states of North Carolina and Virginia, we'll still pick up Florida State and Clemson, and Louisville could be in play at that point, but I think Houston and Texas Tech have a better shot than Baylor (though still not a great shot).

The Big 10 odds aren't great either. Cincinnati's a bad buy at +15000, much less +1500.

Agree 100% about Cincy being a bad buy.

I'm not buying UVA as their academics and ideologies of late seem more in line with the B1G. And I could also see NC State more than L'ville as an SEC target.

One thing's for certain, I think the driving factor in the transition to super conferences is the expiration of current network contracts so I think we find out sooner rather than later who the new invitees will be.

I would say we need Duke for Basketball but with K gone they are now a question Mark/ UVA?? I'd say NCSt and UNC and Clemson.
