The irony of the SEC and B1G taking and getting what they want and everyone under them fight for scraps in a somewhat tiered structure where schools don't always trust each other or their conferences and several file lawsuits of some sort. Meanwhile, the SEC and B1G go unscathed in it all.

Interesting. Where did you see this?

The Pac 12 could do an awesome parody of the the B1G commercial with a map like this.

FSU and Clemson are insisting the GOR be cut back to 2030 in this arrangement, which is also the same year the B1G media contract ends. An FSU/Clemson vs. ACC settlement is not the end of the ACC realignment drama. It just hits the pause button for a few years. And if the GOR ends in 2030, that...

I have no affiliation with the B12. Doubtful. There is nothing left for the B1G or SEC to pick. The only value on that level that is left is in the ACC or named Notre Dame. ESPN is pulling strings right now. IT's just a matter of them using the look in next year to make the ACC happy or the...

...sport. If this OSU flunkie is trying to defend his OSU program's actions, I'd say the difference is the PAC was a dead conference walking. The B1G, The Big XII, and the ACC all fed off the PAC 12 carcass because those PAC 12 programs wanted to leave and they will make boatloads more money...

Nobody is leaving the ACC for the Big XII. At this point it is unlikely that the B1G or SEC want any of the ACC schools. The SEC might take FSU and Clemson, but I don't think the B1G is interested anymore, it got the 4 top programs from the Pac. Rumors of the ACC's demise are greatly...

...it's 2018 and someone told you in the next several years... We'll have Cal, Stanford, SMU in the ACC... UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington in the B1G... Arizona, Cincy, UCF, BYU, Houston, Arizona St in the B12... UConn football, Gonzaga and Utah St. in the Pac12 UConn basketball in the Big East...

If Clemson and FSU leave, which is very realistic and only roadblock being the grant of rights, then that downgrades the ACC a lot. UNC would be the next biggest brand and absolutely one the big ten would want. That leaves Miami and maybe VT as next biggest brands, and also the big 12 as a lot...

Nope. The PAC 12 is just playing the hand it was dealt. When the ACC opened this pandora's box morality and doing things "for the greater good" flew out the window. Anyone being critical of this PAC 12 situation is hypocritical.

No, they won't. The Big 10 is going to have few 7 PM Pacific Time (10 PM Eastern) or later games. And, there definitely won't be weekly games. Late games aren't good draws so the Big 10 media partners don't want the late starts for the price they are paying.

The teams that people actually want to watch are in the B1G now and they get those slots.

...will be needed. This could lead to Utah and other teams joining the ACC to build the ACCN revenues. At the end of the day, in 5-6 years if the B1G and the SEC decide to expand to 24 teams each, it will be at the expense of the ACC and the B12. UNC, NC St, UVA, VT, Clemson, GT, FSU & Miami...

That's an illusion. It's a convenient argument that the B1G has held onto, but there is no legal prerequisite to be AAU to enter...

Seriously? Three teams is your answer. How many Sweet Sixteen teams? Three. B1G? 2, SEC? 2 Mic drop. However I could be slightly wrong due to two shots of tequila in my belly. Point is. Why bash our teams? We all know where we belong. Time will come.

...visions the flagship and elite academic schools are working towards. They are arent resting. Their ideas are near limitless. Does Mich plant this flag w/o the B1G footprint expansion, seems unlikely. UConn has been big thinkers the past decade....but there are another few rungs to...

...that mopped the floor with us 27-24. In my mind, FAU should be favored. They’ve got an FBS win already, beating FIU by 18. A close loss to a B1G team and a respectable loss to a pretty good Army team. If we beat them comfortably I’ll be both surprised and very encouraged. This is a great...

By the way, Nebraska is not an AAU school to the best of my knowledge, so...

On a team with Phil Nolan as a starting center and a freshman Amida as a backup. All time coaching job.

He's actually correct and your slant is 1000% wrong. Nothing funnier than a dude dropping the mike for no reason. The Big East will be elbowed out of the buffet line. I give it a decade. The big conferences see how much money is made from basketball and they don't want to share.

Just remember the GOR of the ACC will likely expire in 2030 under the new plan. Some of the remaining schools have strong basketball programs.

Even in an alternate history that had Penn State in the Big East, the day still would have come that the B1G would have offered PSU membership and the money would have been too good to turn down. The alternate history would have only delayed the inevitable.

Or not. JoePa wanted Eastern Football.

No AAU = no B1G. B1G wants UNC & UVA. I have read multiple places that SEC members like 16 teams and feel no pressure to add.

I don't think UCLA's non-conference slate is announced yet

MWC commish/schools wanted a gigantic slice of the PAC buyout money (from B1G and B12 defectors) to work with Oregon St and Wazzu. Oregon St and Wazzu then thought might as well just buy the top of the MWC, make a play at the AAC, and let the MWC fall apart and pick up the pieces if needed. MWC...

...Baylor vs UCLA game hasn’t yet been announced as part of UCLA’s non-conference schedule. A couple of months ago Cori Close did an interview at a B1G meeting in Palos Verdes in Southern California. She mentioned the Bruins playing in a neutral site game related to MLK Day which will get...

Really? You're bringing back that tired old canard? Sure, the B1G loves money. And that's why they're hoping some school beats the ACC in court so they can add UNC and UVA (or UNC and ND if ND feels it has to join a conference). FSU and Clemson don't fit academically or culturally and represent...

MD beat UConn by 43 MD lost to MSU by 3 so MSU = +46 over UConn MSU beat FIU by 6 so FIU is 40 points better than UConn There it is Transitive Theory at its finest. We are DOOMED!

I have a difficult time believing that tg he B1G would add a member who is clearly the second best asset in a state when they don't already have the best asset (U of Florida in in the SEC). I also highly doubt that the SEC has any desire to add a school to a market where they already have a...

This is stupid to me. U of Michigan can do some type of exchange student arrangement with UCLA or some other school in LA. Public schools should stay in their lanes, or boundaries, as it were.

It's been posted with regularity on these boards that there is really a P2 today. Your best teams don't sue to get out if you are truly a Power conference. It's too early but I think based on today's rankings the playoffs would include: 6 SEC 3 B1G 1 ACC 1 Big XII 1 MAC

...we would receive a tournament bid with a top seed. The issue is that it won't be long before the BE isca two bid league while both the B1G & SEC land ten to twelve schools in every tournament. When we have a season where we are the third BE school and are left out while Mississippi and...

I think we are less than 10 years, and possibly less than 5 years, from the first merger of public universities from different states. UConn is crazy not to approach the SUNY system right now, because the SUNY system is an obvious target and Penn State, Rutgers, or someone else will merge with...
