Message: [QUOTE="Jimdish255, post: 4342367, member: 137"] Some observations. It's likely that Oregon and Washington end up in the Big10. Not sure how that connects to ND decision unless they are thinking of just ND and Oregon. The ACC will eventually lose teams but the SEC is under no pressure to get that ball rolling until the Big10 comes for teams in their footprint. Their competitive and revenue positions are still going to be assured. That means waiting for ND, then waiting on Oregon, Washington, possibly Stanford to the Big10. Aaaaand then maybe we see Big10 look into Carolina, Georgia, etc. That starts to infringe on the SEC'S territory. Would the Big10 have the same urgency to do that if they already have ND? Probably not. They can wait a few years and pay less for those teams and the GOR diminishes. But if they really want ND they do need to weaken the ACC because weakening the ACC gives them leverage with ND. Then the ACC dominoes, and ND start to fall from both directions. And I believe that sets us up for a bid to the ACC unless Mora and DB have some relationship at the Big10. But I think that ship sailed when they wasted their money on Rutgers anchoring the conference. A terrible shortsighted move. [/QUOTE]
