UCF would be such a geographical nightmare. I mean, maybe that is where they go, but flying a women's bowling team to the middle of Florida from Ames on a Wednesday just can't be very appealing.

Facts are, there just aren't any overly appealing options for them at this point. They are just as likely to fold in the future as expand.

Seems legit

West Virginia is already way out for travel purposes so going to any school in FL would be even worse. I still laugh that the B12 thought they were too good for the Line Beards yet took TCU (overlap of existing market) and WVU (not good in any sport) in realignment. The best realignment means expanding the footprint to adjoining states. B12 is a failure as…

NM - touches TX and OK but no real schools to choose from
CO - touches OK and KS but the #1 school left for the PAC. no real good #2
NE - touches KS and IA but left for the B1G. no real 2nd choice in state
SD - touches IA but no real schools to choose from
MN - touches IA but B1G state
WI - touches IA but B1G state
IL - touches IA but B1G state
MO - touches IA but only 1 school and they left for the SEC
AR - touches OK and TX but only 1 school and they left for the SEC
LA - touches TX, but #1 is already SEC and #2 was SEC
