This sounds good and all, but is the B1G really going to pass up on Miami? Especially if Florida State goes to the SEC. I don't see any scenario where the B1G does not have at least one school in Florida when this is all said and done.

If Florida State goes to the B1G, it's possible Miami stays in the ACC because the SEC probably isn't interested.

Likewise, I think it can be argued that both the B1G and SEC have an interest in adding Virginia.

Outside shot that the B1G would want Georgia Tech for Atlanta and Georgia recruiting.

Otherwise, if the ACC can fend off the Big 12, I think this lineup is realistic.

so he has fsu, clemson, unc, louisville and VT leaving? backfilling with UConn and USF. i assume he meant to list wake instead of cuse a second time. but who's taking lville and VT over miami and virginia??

if this is an academic play it has to be tulane or rice over USF.

Let's hope UConn gets an invite soon!

Hope is not a plan. Sadly, i think it is what suffices as a plan for the UConn decision makers.
It appears the current UConn leadership realizes that a boost in UConn's conference affiliation will help the university directly or indirectly on many fronts. It would be easier for them if the football team was not just poking its head out of a dumpster again. Let's all hope, I use the word again, football gets six wins this season.

Deion is coaching for more than familial reasons or for the money. Ego and challenge are big parts of it. I suspect he'll hang around CU-Boulder for a few years until an offer comes either from FSU or one of the P2 schools. The size of a buyout would be substantial. Until greener pastures come calling, Boulder is a really attractive place to hang one's hat.
I doubt he ever takes the FSU job. I think he stays in Boulder for 4 - 5 years before leaving for a program like Miami or Texas.

Terrible nfl hire. His edge isn’t tactical. It is charismatic. He can acquire talent and dna also become the dave of the program. That is his main value as a coach.

That is irrelevant in the nfl.
Yes, and he has no interest. I think he likes coaching in college.

I don’t think he needs the money.

But the ego boost of winning a Super Bowl is too tempting.
Its not about needing the money. I don't think, guys like Urban or Matt Rhule needing the money, its about the money being too good to pass up, and the challenge of "can i do this". I'd put Lane Kiffin in there as well.

The decision to expand is going to be made with their "broadcast partners". Once again, our fate is in the hands of ESPN.

Sooo, we're gonna get shafted again. I'm so glad Italian soccer moved from ESPN+ to Paramount+ so that I don't have to give those scumbags and more dough.

Maybe FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Va Tech leaving, UConn and USF to backfill, and Louisville getting sent back to Conference USA for not meeting the new "Ivy League" academic standards.

Do the Louisville students know what the Ivy League is?

The new ACC won't care about that. They're competing with Princeton.
Never been a fan of the UConn being associated with the Louisville's (or the Tulsa's, Memphis', East Carolina's, Wichita State's) of the world.
