ACC options

[CL82]

Well the ACC would be paying more in a couple years. And if you think a big chunk of the Big XII value comes from Texas and Kansas, you'd likely be able to sell them on the idea they'd make more cutting out Kansas State and BYU and Central Florida.

Lol, Texas is going to the SEC. They aren't leaving there for the ACC.

In 2036 there is going to be a mass exodus from the conference. Right now the ACC isn't more attractive than the big 12. In fact, I suspect that after Clemson, FSU, UNC and UVA bail, at least a couple of schools will be picked up by the big 12. Probably Louisville and Pittsburgh.

The Big XII Texas schools (Tech and TCU would be my guess). And 2031 comes before 2036. If the GOR is as ironclad as people say, the pressure will be on the Big XII moneymakers if they still want to carry the load for West Virginia, Central Florida, 2 Utah schools, Iowa State, etc.

If Miami and ND walked into the B1G office today ready to jump ship together, B1G isn't turning them away. Would seem that the final remaining B1G priorities would be:

1) ND
2) UNC
3) any/all combo of UVA, Miami, Kansas

At that point you can lock the door to the B1G forever.

Will ND hold to its football independence? If so they would not be walking in with Miami.

So if ND stays Indy, would Miami get into the B1G on its own resume? I don’t think so.

Maybe the B1G stops at UNC and UVA.

 

[XStorrsion]

I'd say the gap between SEC/B1G and everyone else will eventually be so large that ND has to give up the Indy game they've been playing. And if Miami also goes B1G then ND would still have the football rivals it wants (Mich, Mich St, Penn St, Miami, USC, Purdue), minus Navy and Stanford which it can play OOC.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

True.

The B1G would say to Miami "could you give us a few minutes to speak with ND on Ice Hockey". When Miami walks out the B1G says to ND "lock the door, we don't want them walking back in".

Football only?

Perfect opportunity for us to tag along as number 18, lol.

FSU hasn’t won an ACC football championship since 2014. Good luck in the SEC.

Losing record in 4 of the last 5 years.

 

[billybud]

FSU did beat the SEC West Champ (LSU) last season, Florida, and soon to be SEC Oklahoma.

Losing record in 4 of the last 5 years.

Sure but 10 win season last year...Preseason top 10 this year. Norvell had to rebuild.

 

[dayooper]

Football only?

How? They would either have to join a conference that does not sponsor football or make all other sports independent.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I love how on the nose this whole sham becomes when the Atlantic Coast Conference seeks out enclaves in Berkeley and Palo Alto.

A gazillion miles away, no real fit, and I can not see ESPN ponying up the money....

 

[Huskyforlife]

Could you imagine if Stanford is what finally gets UConn into the ACC? That’s the type of lunacy fit for our solution.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

If Stanford and California get into the ACC over Connecticut...financed entirely by our in state "friends" at ESPN...just wow

 

[NH Husky]

WHOA!!

Let them. Have a feeling there are going to a lot more schools in our position over the coming years as the money consolidates into fewer and fewer schools.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

It would be insane. It be good for me since I can finally watch UCONN football in-person if UCONN can tag along somehow.

It's almost like the CT gov't works against UConn, it's all very strange.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I really don't get it. Everyone cites the lawsuit but it's not as if Pitt wasn't party to it, then in Virginia then state put pressure to have VPI takes what was Syracuse's spot, or Utah threatening action and then they get into the p5.. meanwhile we're actively giving money to ESPN?

Like what?

 

[baggerbob]

FSU hasn’t won an ACC football championship since 2014. Good luck in the SEC.

Florida can block that, the original members have a veto over new additions in the same state.

[metsfan2323]

After this 100% of our fanbase should be onboard with taking any P4 offer that comes our way. Clearly St John's would go to the ACC if the ACC decided to go hybrid and you know Nova and Gtown won't be far behind at which point Providence would be begging to get in.

Edit: alright as I read this a third time maybe I am misreading his intentions here but I still think they would go hybrid.

Unless the GOR can be worked around, the Big XII is next up.

Not sure. If true why did espn play ball with the B12? They could have made it easy for the ACC to pick up the valuable PAC12 properties but instead steered them to B12, while reports are ESPN made it more difficult for the ACC to counter.

The ACC was once the hunter. Not any more.
