RE: What are your schools realignment options?
In the HERD research list Ohio U clusters with these schools (all Carnegie R2 like Ohio U, all with R&D budgets of $45-60M)

Alabama-Huntsville, SUNY Binghamton, Maine. Texas-Arlington, Louisiana Lafayette, UMass Lowell, UMBC, ODU, North Dakota, UWM, William & Mary, Ohio U, Montana, Wichita State, Akron, South Dakota State, Cleveland State, SIU-Carbondale, Wyoming

Forbes lumps Ohio U roughly with this group of schools:
Oklahoma State, Georgia State, Montana State, Montana, New Mexico, San Diego State, Maine, Texas-Arlington, Rhode Island, Northern Arizona

It is similar rated but a bit easier to get into than Tennessee, UMBC, UCF, USF, Buffalo, Nebraska, Auburn, UAB

The schools Ohio lists as peers on their fact sheet seem to be "aspirational" rather than true peers:

Colorado State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Missouri, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia

These are schools with between 3x and 10x the level of research going on at campus, and includes two AAU schools, and includes 6 flagships which Ohio U is not. Excepting OK State and UNH and RIU they are all R1 schools.

Honestly I can understand OK State, West Virginia, UNH as aspirations. I would suggest Idaho, San Diego State and Georgia State as more realistic peers however. Schools in the middle level tend to list the schools they aspire to be their peers, not their true peers. The best way to look at it is, do the schools you list as peers consider your school a peer? If the answer is no, that they see you as farther down the pecking order, then you list is less truthful than aspirational.

ECU

1) SEC: The ACC stays while and the SEC must get into the 10 million + populated state of Nort Carolina. Then they go for ECU who has 30,000+ students and a large football fan base.

2) American: Nothing happens and we stay where we are

3) Big 12/American: If more realignment occurs and we get left out we are probably going to be in a conference mixed with Big 12 and American leftovers plus a couple of other schools.

4) ACC: The Big Ten or SEC or both raid the ACC North Carolina schools leaving the ACC to back fill its home state with ECU. If this happened the ACC would probably look like the former Big East in football.

The ACC will never take the ECU. The ACC 2.0 is half ACC and half Big East. Neither of those two wanted us. They are a basketball conference anyway. SEC or Indy if this AAC arrangement falls apart.

RE: What are your schools realignment options?
Siena is doing fine in the MAAC and should mainly focus on winning more of the important games (last year's conference championship game loss was a heartbreaker), but many fans would hope the school would be ready to backfill any openings in the A-10. The men's basketball program already plays sister school St. Bonaventure annually and regularly schedules other A-10 programs. The team had just come off a bad couple years and fired their coach when the A-10 added Davidson. So I like to keep an eye on whether any of these conference realignment dominoes will ever touch the A-10 again.

Temple ends up in the B-12
it does not matter how dump the B-12 is, the ony thing that saves the B-12, expand to 18 schools
LHN becomes quesa B-12 network, TV Market jumps to 90 million like the B-10
if Tex does not start making connections with northeast & middle america, the'll be run over by Mexican's

If the ACC is raided and left with: BC, Syracuse, Pitt, Wake Forest, Clemson, GT, Miami, FSU, and Louisville I bet ECU gets invite along with Cincinnati, Temple, UCF, West Virginia, USF, and UConn.

1)B12: Our academic peer list includes Oklahoma St, Iowa St and WVU so this would be the conference to join with its rural college towns. We make a perfect travel partner with WVU only 2 hours away.

And not that it matters, but when you say Iowa State, WVU, and OKST are on your academic peer list, is it reciprocal? It doesn't mean much if it isn't. E.g., I once saw a list of schools that said Harvard was their peer - it was about 20 schools that had them on their list. Problem was, Harvard only had two of them on its list, LOL.

What he also fails to tell everyone is that Ohio hasn't won a MAC Championship since 1968.

And they do not bring any sort of media market to the table. Being in one of the poorest parts of the country doesn't help either.

RE: What are your schools realignment options?
Obviously Georgia St would like to move up in the pecking order. I know we have a long way to go in the fan support column but we are working hard to get the infrastructure in place for bigger and better things in the future.
It's fair to say that we see ourselves fitting in with the AAC. An Atlanta school makes an excellent bridge between the west side of the conference, ECU, and Florida schools.
Now my pipe dream is that GT is wooed away to the BIG 10 like was rumored a few years ago. In my best case scenario the ACC would look to Georgia St to keep the conference in Atlanta and the state for a variety of reasons. Other than that extremely slim hypothetical, that's our only chance to get a P5 invite.

That actually could happen one day, but I'd set the timer at about 20 years from now. In the meantime, ECU would basically need to sell out every home football game (and I don't just mean tickets sold, but people actually showing up at Ficklen).
Plus other obvious things like getting MBB in order, etc.

It's a long shot but not a pipe dream.

RE: What are your schools realignment options?
College of Charleston:

1) Stay in the CAA as it is now (has been a pretty good fit in the four years we have been in league)
2) Move back to the SoCon (would have been an option if the CAA move didn't work out, but very unlikely now)
3) Go to a re-jiggered version of the A-10 if a couple of their major schools left to go to the Big East and/or AAC.
4) Move to a new basketball-focused league of southern schools (Davidson, UR, VCU, ODU, UNCW, UNCG, GW, a couple others) if the A-10 folded up.
5) Add football, a ceiling of probably C-USA.

CofC, even with its start way back in 1670, has the vast majority of its alums in the last 30 years. As recently as 1970 the school had 500 students. In the 70s the school grew ten fold, from 500 to 5,000. With Charleston being a fast-growing metropolitan area (over 750K), it could become an attractive school to mulitiple leagues in the future.

Help me out w/ the Harvard reference.

It's been my experience that Harvard grads are exceptionally good at telling you that they went to Garvard, and they can do it in any language that you want, including English.

E.g., I once saw a list of schools that said Harvard was their peer - it was about 20 schools that had them on their list. Problem was, Harvard only had two of them on its list, LOL.
The peer group is about about finding instutions with the same profile on a national level for the purposes of benchmarking salary compensation and resource allocation.

Iowa St, OSU and WVU are not Cal, Texas and Florida schools that are part of the research elite paying 250,000 per faculty member. We arent part of the research elite ect but we want to pay our faculty reasonably for a national public school.

The B12 is attractive for Ohio in a way its not attractive for Cincinnati who would be a better instutitional fit in the ACC. National schools but not big hitters if Texas leaves ect.

Now as to Ohio joining if the B12 has an AAC media deal no. Ohio is refusing now to join the AAC unless the media deal is greatly enhanced. Why would we join a shell of the B12 then either?

You have to understand that some schools are more conservative with making moves than others. UMKC was willing to move to the WAC for nothing more than a perception upgrade. Ohio is conservative about making moves. They dont want to get stuck in the situation Marshall did becoming marooned in CUSA.
