So, if the ACC stakes a claim in big 12 territory by inviting SMU, does the big 12 reciprocate by inviting Connecticut and USF?

Just a hunch. No.

Maybe if USF was still good at football. They're struggling in all sports right now. I get that they have a lot of students and are in Florida but meh.

Maybe they just need to be in a Power conference and things will turn around

Maybe they will get their heads out of their anuses and do what I suggested weeks ago, Stanford, Cal and UConn. Frank the Tank casually dropping that swing vote North Carolina wants to focus on basketball. SMU does nothing for them.

I think people are misinterpreting the basketball thing. They want to pay people for outstanding bb performance out of the tv money SMU will forego. Not just reward FB success.

B12 will only expand again if Fox and ESPN step up and say they will pay for the expansion.

It is simple as that.

There is literally nothing simple about the next 5 to 10 years of college sports or higher education. Anything can happen. After that, things will probably settle down though.

Give it up, they hate us. That conference is dead man walking now anyways.

ESPN could make UConn happen.

It's not a dead man walking. It's in better shape than the Big XII despite all the posturing by FSU. But yes, they seem to hate us.

The ACC is a dead conference. They are not in better shape than the big 12. None of the big 12 schools are going to be poached. The ACC has 4 maybe 6 schools that are not going be there long term.

They'll try and keep their valuable teams hostage as long as possible but they'll escape. Totally dead conference.

When it's all said and done UConn will end up in a conference with BC, Syracuse, Temple, UMass, Wake Forest, South Florida, Duke, and Army or Navy for all sports.

Looks like an AAC reunion minus Duke great

Adding SMU, CAL and Stanford and swapping out VA, UNC, FSU and Clemson is a huge swing.
If you add miami and VT Yes the conference is cooked. Only losing 4 means ACC could backfill with Cincy, Uconn, WVU. Still a decent league with fb and top 2 bb easily

cinci, wvu may not want to leave B12. But tulane and uconn may be options

Why would Cinci and WVU leave the Big 12 when they would be P3? I doubt that they would. They will be making a lot more in the Big 12.

2036 seems soooo far away...

Bargaining with ESPN is sort of like bargaining with God, I reckon.


Me...How long is a million years to you ?

God...A minute

Me....How much is a billion dollars to you ?

God....a penny

Me....Will you give me a penny ?

God...In a minute

The Big XII-ACC battle for 3rd supremacy will be interesting. The ACC media payout was $30.5m in ‘22. The new BXII contract will start below that (the avg will be $31.6m, presumably crossing that threshold at the halfway point in 2028). Given normal escalators, the ACC could be averaging $10m more in media payouts when the BXII is renegotiating.

But there are a lot of variables. Does the GOR hold, what is the Calford impact on both the ACC contract and the ACCN earnings, who is left in the ACC, what does the sports tv contract works look like in 2030, etc.
