Message: [QUOTE="B12, post: 5076284, member: 9932"] ACC for sure. I don't think this helps UConn to the B12 at all Seems like this is the most likely outcome. ACC lawsuit plays out and a group of schools leave for the B1G, SEC, and B12. ACC is gutted, P12 adds Stanford and Cal to get back to 8 members, maybe more MW schools. MW will attempt to add Big Sky and MVC schools but they will decline. Then the MW has to decide if they drop down to FCS where they belong with the Big Sky schools or stay FBS. ACC will be desperate to reload so they will be looking at UConn, USF, Memphis, ECU, Temple, etc End result is the SEC and B1G making huge $ B12 doing ok but only making about half the SEC and B1G PAC and ACC making about half of the B12 as "tweener" conferences. Then you have the MW, C-USA, Sun Belt, MAC, and AAC all in one group of schools with no brands whatsoever as they have been picked clean. This group will not stay in the same division as the power schools as they can't afford NIL and can't compete. The real question is that when the SEC, B1G, and B12 breakaway will the PAC and ACC be included in the group as the bottom dwellers. Would be funny and the best plan to keep all the brands in the SEC, B1G, and B12 popular while the ACC and PAC absorb all the L's. So is Uconn in a better off with Big East membership, Great for BB, exposure issues in BB and no exposure in FB, making 500k on TV for FB, less than 10 million in TV $ struggling as a FBS indy. or A gutted ACC with BC, Wake, Cuse, ECU, USF, Temple, Memphis, etc making around 15 million on TV but better exposure. That's a tough one IMO as the Big East is best for BB but there is no $ and limited exposure. The gutted ACC is going to be more of an AAC type situation but more regional teams to UConn. [/QUOTE]
