Maybe the ACC should just tell BC going forward they're going to get $10 million a year and let Clemson and FSU split the difference
I think every conference is eventually going to have to go this way. If the bottom feeders put up a stink then you tell them OK we're going to start a new conference, you're not invited, but we'll kick you a few bucks so we can take the conference name with us.

Footprint looks too concentrated...should trade Houston for an ACC school when the media gods get to the wheelin and dealing phase later this month. And obviously it needs a school in the northeast.

I have to give you some slack. I recently read the first ten posts in this thread and after doing so understand where you are coming from.

Hopefully not deja vu all over again.
We’re winners!

FSU leaving the ACC would be awesome for UConn. I don't see anyway it happens, but it would be awesome.
The schools left are uconn haters. They likely invite Tulane or some 2 year college over us lol

Not so concentrated as you think. If you were to divide Texas by four, such that TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Houston had equal shares, each of those quarters would be more than thirteen times as large as Connecticut.

I usually discount what this guy says out of hand, but this is exactly what we need the reality to be. B16 wants Oregon and AZ/ASU as Plan A+. Lets hope the B1G comes through on adding O so Plan A can happen with UConn

I’m an optimist but is the ACC interested in UConn?
ESPN has already said that it will pay pro rata for UConn to move to the big 12. If it wanted to it could pay pro rata for UConn to move to the ACC. Granted, they are only paying for 2/3 of that pro rata in the big 12, but still.

(For me, at least, part of the appeal of the ACC would be beating the crap out of the schools that blocked us in the past twice a year. Yeah, I'm looking at you BCU.)

Looking at this map makes me want something to open up in the ACC

I can get a lot of consolation beating the crap out of Cincinnati and rubbing @kobe’s face in our success.

Looking at this map makes me understand another reason Yormack wants us. We will be a compelling reason for some of the ACC schools who might otherwise be reluctant to join the B12 to consider it.

Good possibility that in a few years it will not only be the Big and SEC dangling carrots but the B12 as well resulting in the ACC finally breaking up. Currently the BIG and SEC lack the ability to get enough schools to break the GOR.
