Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4674517, member: 44"] Disagree. The ACC is set to fail, at least in its current incarnation. The SEC has just publicly stated that they are interested in FSU and Clemson and suggested that they "might" be interested in UNC. The Big Ten will undoubtedly consider the value of ACC schools that are also AAU. So, Virginia, UNC, GT and Miami are possibilities for them. The ACC is also locked into a contract through 2036. The Big 12 just got a new deal in negotiates again in 2030. That likely puts them at a very substantial advantage over the ACC. Finally, ironically, what are the big 12's biggest advantages is its members have nowhere else to go. They're unlikely to get bids to either the Big Ten or the SEC. That gives them stability and stability has value. [/QUOTE]
