Lol, stop pretending to be an insider.Stop whining.

Lol, oops. I touched a nerve apparently. When I was calling out the fake insiders, it wasn't aimed at you. Well, not just you...Stop whining.

Now or never…
I hope AD David Benedict isn't pulling a Warde Manuel and has gone into full monitoring mode. he seems more productive than that.Oh I’m not an insider. But I also live in Big 12 country. And I definitely heard something. It’s not specific enough to believe. At first I thought it was just an echo from last summer but it’s been since then…
I prefer the ACC by the way. Which still seems more likely to me.
With all of this churn do you really think the schilling is sitting on its hands monitoring the situation?

You really should have created a sock for this.

We've just been burned so much by this process that I find it more sensible to keep a healthy skepticism. Still, it's always good to hear there are rumblings.
I have to say I am pretty ambivalent about the choice between the big 12 and the ACC, especially considering that, as far as I am aware, we don't have an offer from either. The ACC is a better geographic fit with some historic rivalries and some good basketball schools, plus football teams that we can potentially compete with.
That said, I'm not sure what will be left after the ACC gets gutted. I think the big 12 is likely to be the more stable conference, ironically enough, because it doesn't seem like anybody really wants their members.
Both conferences have yanked us around so, truth be told, I hate them both. Still, I would be grateful for a membership invite to either. Any port will do in a storm, I guess.
TL;DR: I am fully in favor of taking the first P4 offer we get. Shocking, I know.Ok not reading all that. Sounds nice.
Nah. Just because someone is talking to someone doesn’t mean anything will happen.
There is just no way that everyone in the G5 isn’t blowing up phones in the Big 12 and ACC.
What new has happened? FSU and Clemson want to get out of the ACC. Good for them. The SEC does not want or need them, and the Big 10 is never going to offer full share memberships again, especially to two schools that do not have other options. Maybe they will get more than they did in the ACC, but at the cost of a schedule that their fans don't care about.
That’s where ESPN comes in. Do they want to build the Big 12 or save the ACC?They will get out, along with another.
The ACC will attempt to announce a new slate. The Big 12 will disrupt that.
I would not be one bit surprised if we receive a double nutsack nunchuck with news about Benedict and Mora at some point.I hope AD David Benedict isn't pulling a Warde Manuel and has gone into full monitoring mode. he seems more productive than that.

I just don't see how the ACC survives when FSU, Clemson and UNC leave. The Big XII will be ready to add brands and then there's not much left. I know we're going to finally get into the ACC and it'll just be a worse football conference than the AAC was with a possibility of marginally better basketballThey will get out, along with another.

Colorado & Arizona State - that would make the B1G once again a contiguous conference, coast-2-coast, like butter & toast. Likely or not, doesn't matter. The kicks will keep on coming. Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma State could also be targets for the P2.
What's the fascination people have with Utah? And why do they have such a big ego? I really don't get itNope.
Utah is ahead of everyone in that crew.
I think that could really put kink in Yorkmark’s “plans”.
I assume based on your hypothetical scenario that enough teams end up leaving and it finally forces Notre Dame into the B1G?Get ready for the red wedding.
I originally had Utah, Colorado, Az State but only 2 would be required to get coast to coast. I think all 3 have legitimate football value even if they stay in the Big 12. Florida and Texas are more valuable states, of course, but Texas and TAMU are off the table.

I don't know if it's fascination, but the Utes do check all the boxes. All 4 corners schools do.What's the fascination people have with Utah? And why do they have such a big ego? I really don't get it

This would have been much better if you had just created a sock.
