What makes you so sure? Seems entirely plausible to me.Zero chance that UNC would flip. Zero. With the Maryland poaching I don't even think UNC picks up the phone if they have caller ID.
So let's assume:
B1G - UNC, UVA
SEC - NC State, VT
Big12 - Florida State, Clemson
ACC - UConn, Boston College, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Duke, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Cincy, USF, UCF, Temple - ND hoops.
STILL better than where we are right now. Hell, add St. John's, Georgetown, Villanova for hoops.
At this point we'll have some regional rivals and still great hoops.
It's not the ideal situation, but it's not the worse - not by far.

I know. But who can doubt anything anymore? Anything at all? (Still having problems with that rumor of Uconn to the Pac12, but who knows?) That's a joke, btw. Meant to be, anyway.I still find it hard to believe that UNC walks away from the ACC. I would also be shocked if it could happen quickly unless NCSU held an SEC offer.
Any school president that turns down the Big 10, to remain in the ACC should be fired for dereliction of duty, if the money difference is close to what is being reported.

UNC is the backbone of the ACC. I'm sure they are pissed at BiG. They are not answering the phone today or this week.
I also cry BS on everyone now saying/thinking the BiG will make $40+m a year in 2018, compare with today's 24m ish. Total BS. Why if cable operators start allowing a la cart pricing then many packages that automatically include BTN will be cut back with BTN left out.
This may be the junky high of college FB. (think internet bubble, or A Rod's salary). Just saying - this is the peak. So many of my friends, die hard college junkies are saying this whole college sport money f&ckfest has seriously dented their interest. Rutgers a desirable football school - give me a break - this is the peak.
Inflation has driven prices of goods up 20-40% this year alone.I also cry BS on everyone now saying/thinking the BiG will make $40+m a year in 2018, compare with today's 24m ish. Total BS.

the b10 and sec are in this together guys. the goals are this:
-split north and south of all quality brands and lave leftovers for 3rd eastern conf
-force nd which will result in a 8 team playoff with big boys only auto bids
-force the pac to react which will dilute product for oregon and usc while east coast is getting rich
the b10 and sec are going to tear down the acc and plit politics in va and nc as needed to get the job done. they want the b12 to be forced to grab scraps later as a to texas and the lhn. they will force nd north and force bball schools out
md and ruty to b10
uva and unc to b10 while vt and ncst to the sec
now clem and fsu get happy feet. before b12 can get its gems the sec will protect turf and just break even $ wise. they have a network coming in time so they are not worried $ wise.
b10 now has nd in the bag gives nd pick of #18 to the conf -uconn
b12 adds miami, gt, pitt, lville and looks at others for 2-4 more
pac builds on its potential schools to 18 down the road. (byu/bsu/sdsu/unr are locks. maybe haw/nm)
now u can have a 72 team break away in fball where each conf still has 2 slots inn the future to expand to if wanted...
who are the winners in all this -b10 and sec all day, every team involved with them.
who are the losers in all this- oregon/usc and the b12 is the mishmash conf of leftovers and bevo.
the acc adds all big east schools left. 2 private schools from acc wake being 1 will be left out, they will build a fcs fball league based around a power bball league and join the break away for bball reason so they can play in the big boy march tney. that league will have schools like butler, gtown and nova who will all be level fball wise and power bball mid major style.
issue solved....
