FSU has July 22 Board Trustees meeting. No agenda yet.
I believe it becomes 9 needed on August 1st.Here is another story. I believe the ACC will need 8 to disband the conference to get everyone out of the GOR. They need to find homes for 2 more schools.

FSU, Clemson, and four other ACC schools could join Big 12 in stunning development
The Big 12 could be aggressively making moves to become a true 'Power 3' counterpart to the Big Ten and SEC by poaching FSU and Clemson, as well as four other sglorycolorado.com
If that's true, I wonder if this includes Notre Dame.I believe it becomes 9 needed on August 1st.
How messed up is that; in 2 years it's possible that 2 major conferences get blown up into virtual nonexistence, meanwhile the B12, which was on life support after the TexOka defections, comes out as the clear #3 conference (until the P2 take what they want). And as usual, UConn is feeling like this:Here is another story. I believe the ACC will need 8 to disband the conference to get everyone out of the GOR. They need to find homes for 2 more schools.

Honestly, I kinda like this idea.The ACC members should vote to dissolve with an invitation to the Big 12 in hand. Then the Big 12 invites a couple of others, UConn & USF, although CR#1 would dictate they take the Pac 2. The Big 12 will have 36 members which can be sliced 3 ways with promotion/relegation within the divisions. They can figure out who makes how much and when. Time for the programs to earn their way if they think they are so valuable. Also gives them the option to put football and basketball in different divisions within one conference.
The Big 12 Divisions are:
The Big 12
The Bigger 12
The Biggest 12
B1G 18
SEC 16
Is it a net loss if The Big12 removes the only competition for the #3 spot? If they effectively end the ACC, they will stand alone at #3 and no one else is even close. The diminishing returns might not be so the next contract renegotiation. By giving Colorado their “signing bonus” to move before the media deal was presented, they have already succeeded in eliminating the PAC. I’m pretty sure they would do the same to the ACC. An ACC with Duke, Cuse, BC, WF, GT and Pitt is not a threat to the Big12 for football. Think about the renewed interest in UConn. Preemptively taking the one program that could replace UNC in basketball clout. It seems Yormark is playing 3D chess while the PAC and now ACC is playing Go Fish.At the moment Yormark is sending shots across the bow of the ACC primarily because he can. In and of itself it will accomplish little beyond some press during a summer lull.
I would be amazed if members of the ACC call an expedited vote (to be the August 1 additions to the conference) and I sero=iously doubt that there would be enough votes to dissolve the conference either way. There are schools that know they won't have a home close to equal to the current ACC and there are schools who really aren't sure if they would find a landing spot. We can project all we want about what a 24 member B-12 would look like but at some point well before 24, there diminshing returns of added content would make it a net loss per B-12 school to add the last few ACC members needed to destroy that conference.
It was $2m signing bonus.Is it a net loss if The Big12 removes the only competition for the #3 spot? If they effectively end the ACC, they will stand alone at #3 and no one else is even close.

The UConn quote was in a story by Ross Dellenger in Yahoo Sports. He is more reputable than the other guy you combined it with, who is obviously just goofing. Of course, you can choose not to believe it.this rumor is unlikely
Agree. At least Yormark recognizes that BB is undervalued & the sees the value of adding one of the top BB brands & expanding into the northeast. We’re hearing more about P2’s interest in NC & Kansas.Is it a net loss if The Big12 removes the only competition for the #3 spot?
