Apparently one of the solutions floating around is 12 teams play 9 games, and the other 5 get to count their ND game for ACC standing purposes.

The ACC has only lost one program, a cash-strapped Maryland that the B10 hoped would shake out a few others. The penalties and GOR have basically locked up all the ACC programs the last dozen years. There has been no chance for poaching until now (or more likely in 4 years or so).

The SEC has gone after a mixture of programs. Missouri is not there because of football for instance. UNC and Virginia are the only flagship Southern universities not in the SEC, and UNC at least have already established natural rivalries with Kentucky, South Carolina, and (to a lesser extent)...

UNC academics probably would love the B10. UNC fans really want nothing to do with Rutgers or Penn State or Ohio State , let alone Minnesota or Iowa or Washington. Our rivals are Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

The Big XII lost the Sugar Bowl money and gained the $80 million or so they withheld from the new joiners, so they came out ahead. They still finished about $5 million behind the ACC. Going forward, the ACCN will expand their footprint. Even if limited to Dallas (#5 tv market) and the Bay Area...

This season is 2024-2025. You are saying Big XII's payout next season (2025-2026) will be comparable to the ACC's payout last season (2023-2024). But there will be two years of elevated payments for the ACC and whatever the ACCN churns out with California and Texas footprints in-between. No...

The new contract is in 2026. So the argument is basically the ACC is 2-years ahead of the Big XII’s timeline, before we get to whatever additional money comes from expanding the carriage coverage of the ACCN. Again, the ACC will remain ahead of the Big XII for the foreseeable future in payouts...

The ACC has consistently made more than the B12, regardless of revenue share or ACCN payouts. Really the only question is what happens when and if one of the ACC schools try to leave. Then the scramble begins. If it's a limited loss, the ACC might be able to plug holes with West Virginia and...

The ACC saw Coach Prime, and raised a Coach Belichick. Your move Midwest.

The Indiana HS basketball tournament was arguably the most revered tournament in the country. The GOAT sports movie Hoosiers immortalized the David-and-Goliath free-for-all. And yet within 10 years of the film's release, they had restructured the tournament so that storyline could never happen...

Using quick math, I think that points to the annual ACC payout going up $8 million in the last year.

Oklahoma and Notre Dame would be my guess.

Fine, 3 titles by 3 teams in the last 9 tournaments.

4 Final Fours in the last 3 years from 4 different teams.

Kill me now if UNC moves there. Not buying it.
