Another headline .....w/ same take story on a Big 12 spin, FWIW

1 more ACC expansion member backs out of adding Stanford, Cal and SMU to the Atlantic amid rumors of possible Big 12 intervention: Reports

The Atlantic Coast Conference has been trying to add three teams, with reports suggesting that SMU, Stanford and Cal could be part of the expansion.

That sportskeedia site is really weird. It often has the latest happenings but scrapped from the internet and it always reads like it was written by Chat GPT. It seems like whoever owns it is using AI to create and push content to the top for clickbait stuff which is a smart way to get traffic for ad revenue money grab ... but super sketchy on substance.

If this is true, then the recent expansions make absolutely no sense.

A lot of schools with small fanbases were added.

Heck, the ACC is looking at SMU.

That's all about the market and the state. SMU has a very small following.

Until the cable bundle dies then that's not a bad bet. In the future I think we see more conferences bundle all of their rights TV/multi media etc to maximize value. I also think we see tiered distribution similar to the CFP, the schools that bring the most value will get the highest guaranteed money with some set aside for performance based bonuses

This is Kansas St. This is the most excitement anyone has had in Manhattan since last spring when the same thing happened:

So, if the ACC stakes a claim in big 12 territory by inviting SMU, does the big 12 reciprocate by inviting Connecticut and USF?

Just a hunch. No.

Maybe if USF was still good at football. They're struggling in all sports right now. I get that they have a lot of students and are in Florida but meh.

Maybe they just need to be in a Power conference and things will turn around

Maybe they will get their heads out of their anuses and do what I suggested weeks ago, Stanford, Cal and UConn. Frank the Tank casually dropping that swing vote North Carolina wants to focus on basketball. SMU does nothing for them.

I think people are misinterpreting the basketball thing. They want to pay people for outstanding bb performance out of the tv money SMU will forego. Not just reward FB success.

B12 will only expand again if Fox and ESPN step up and say they will pay for the expansion.

It is simple as that.

There is literally nothing simple about the next 5 to 10 years of college sports or higher education. Anything can happen. After that, things will probably settle down though.

Give it up, they hate us. That conference is dead man walking now anyways.

ESPN could make UConn happen.

It's not a dead man walking. It's in better shape than the Big XII despite all the posturing by FSU. But yes, they seem to hate us.

The ACC is a dead conference. They are not in better shape than the big 12. None of the big 12 schools are going to be poached. The ACC has 4 maybe 6 schools that are not going be there long term.

They'll try and keep their valuable teams hostage as long as possible but they'll escape. Totally dead conference.

When it's all said and done UConn will end up in a conference with BC, Syracuse, Temple, UMass, Wake Forest, South Florida, Duke, and Army or Navy for all sports.
