They’re behind the eight ball already and are in real danger of falling behind further if they don’t make some big moves. I think you’ll see some sort of Big 12 and Pac-12 spare parts merger. It just makes sense. [I][B]But the ACC? I’m not so sure where they go."[/B][/I] "J.J.: The pessimist in me says the Big 12 and Pac-12 will be raided for their premier programs and will then realign into some fusion of conferences that are distinctly above mid-majors but distinctly below the new Power Two. I think the ACC could hold out if they manage to bring in Notre Dame, but I really don’t see that happening. I think Notre Dame would rather be independent or be a Big Ten team.[I][B] If the Fighting Irish don’t join the ACC, I would imagine it would get gutted as well[/B][/I]- I’m sure the SEC would love to have Clemson, for instance- [I][B]and the rest would join the new tier of Powerless Three schools. I suspect a lot of schools will go independent a la [URL='https://www.theuconnblog.com/']UConn[/URL].[/B][/I] To summarize, assuming the ACC doesn’t get Notre Dame, we’ll end with: The Power Two: B1G and SEC, each with roughly 20-24 teams The Powerless Three: whatever the rest of the ACC/Big 12/Pac-12 realigns to [I][B]And a whole bunch of new independents[/B][/I] Yay?"
