Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Who are 21 programs who finished ranked or ORV in 2021 which will be relegated per B1G and SEC brass. Ridiculous.

Not all of them will be relegated. The P2 will pick off the most valuable names on that list. If they want to expand it's going to have to be from the Pac12, Big XII, and ACC because it doesn't appear that they're interested in G-5/mid-major schools. There will be schools that get screwed of course, but we know all about that don't we?

I understand what you’re saying, but I think it’s somewhat problematic. I think the goal is to get an optimally sized conference that allows you to fill the time slots in your media deal. If you start bringing in “associate members“ or contracting to fill those time slots with programs outside of your conference there will be dissent due to lost visibility. We are already hearing a little bit of blowback from big 10 members who take the very reasonable position that they don’t want to add anyone who dilutes value. Diluting visibility would be a similar concern.

To me, the flaw in the mega-conference theory is that at some point when a conference gets large enough, it stops feeling like a conference. I am reminded of the line from The Incredibles “when everyone is super, no one is.“ At some point when you get large enough, there’s stops being a cachet and stops having a shared sense of purpose.

It will be more for basketball and other Olympic sports where you need to do more regional scheduling.

IMO you will see way more BE and B1G scheduling going forward than BE and ACC or SEC.

The mega conferences will each have their own mini tournaments leading in to a national championship between B1G aligned schools and SEC aligned schools. And yes those mini tourneys will be rigged to give the B1G and SEC schools best chance of winning. This isn't a merger, it's an acquisition. Either you get aligned with B1G or SEC or you perish.
 
In fiscal year 2019-20, the ACC distributed $496.7 million. That number jumped to $578.3 million in 2020-21 -- an increase of $81.6 million! Now, while we don't have enough information to calculate everything that went into that $81.6 million, we do have quite a bit.

I’m not sure what you are trying to point out - are you saying that Murphy’s tweet on UNC revenue is inaccurate (the blog article you attached is from May)?

 
McMurphy's tweet may not be the total picture...he seems to be using UNC..and there may be a gap between total and media revenue.

The ACC brought in about $84 million in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001, distributing almost $8 million to each of its then-nine league members. Twenty years later, the league reported making $578.3 million in revenue during the 2020-21 fiscal year and distributed an average of $36.1 million to its 15 members, which included Notre Dame as a full member during the pandemic football season of 2020.

The ACC’s future is uncertain. The money tells you why

A WRAL News analysis of two decades of tax records from the top five NCAA athletic conferences reveals a revenue gap that is likely to grow significantly and could ultimately threaten the future of the North Carolina-based Atlantic Coast Conference.

"Cuz, you know. Your two most valuable programs came to us first. We had no choice but to take them. Maybe mo...I mean, no hard feelings, right?"
 
Apparently, the SEC is directing UGa and Tennessee to cancel their upcoming non- conf games with OU, each of which predates OUs planned entry into the league. Could the planned ‘25 expansion be on a faster track? :rolleyes:

(AD David Benedict can we get Tennessee game for 24?)

I’m sure the ten remaining schools in the PAC are dreaming of the day they might get an invite like USC and UCLA did to the B1G. UCLA losing money in the move is laughable. If not for the move, the Bruins would have had to cut multiple Olympic sports.
 
UCLA travel costs will not come close to wiping out their financial gains. That is laughable.

But the B1G will continue its raid eventually. I don’t disagree with that point at all.

Conference realignment: Amazon interest may affect Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 composition as talks continue

Further realignment could be on the horizon as media rights packages remain outstanding

I mean I’m flattered to be included, but I’d rather have a linear deal.
