Message: [QUOTE="Ports21, post: 4343962, member: 11507"] If ND stays independent (which I can't fathom how they will at this point) then the ACC will die. If they join the BIG, the ACC will die. It's only hope is ND joining. I think I read that the ACC gets to renegotiate their media rights before contract expire ONLY if they reach 16 teams. They have 14 now, so if they get ND and WVU maybe that allows them to renegotiate and save it. If not, Clemson, Miami, FSU are going SEC. The GOR doesn't matter enough. The difference in them getting left behind by all the money pouring into the super conferences and prestige would cost them far more in the end. As it stands there's more money on the BIG deal, so if given the choice would any of those three go to the BIG instead of SEC despite the regional differences? ND is the domino. Once that falls, I think everything else will rather quickly. [/QUOTE]
