I don’t think Stanford and Cal look at it from a travel perspective. They want to be associated with like-minded institutions. They pushed hard to get into the B1G. When that didn’t work out, the ACC was the next best option. I don’t think either school realistically considered the Big 12 and I don’t think either school ever will.

I suspect that if there wasn't an opportunity at the ACC they would have excepted a big 12 invite. They were scrambling because the PAC got relegated.

Q: In hindsight, would Stanford and Cal choose the ACC over the Big 12 given their reduced payout and travel?
That's just it Stanford & Cal were left behind by the Big XII. There wasn't an invite forthcoming at that point... they either could've stayed with Washington St. & Oregon St. and tried to rebuild the Pac or taken the reduced payout offer they took from the ACC... those were their options.

When you realize that SMU was in the American until 2024 and that's at a significant competitive disadvantage, it gives you a sense of the suck that is Boston College and Wake Forest. Hard to believe that they get to walk out with a golden ticket.

And people think FSU doesn't have a landing spot. I was sure FSU would have been like, "Thanks for the unequal revenue distribution and the bargain basement exit fee, See Ya!!!!"

It's worse than that.

When you consider that BC is smack dab in the middle of an almost 5 million population metro area, you realize that their level of suck out-sucks all other sucks that are out there...

Based on the past 15 years or so, it is evident that the P2 conferences and the ACC do not want us. That leaves the Big 12 as our only P4 option. I was really hoping for that, but now I wonder if that still in our best interest. Fans love the Big East rivalries, football schedules interesting games (and is playing well), and many of our programs are performing really well. Maybe we can survive with our current model with big-time investments in NIL?

I think you have to keep trying until there is no longer even the slightest chance of moving elsewhere. The Big East is fine for every team in it not named UConn. They don’t have to meet the financial obligation of paying 85-105 football players. This money is coming out of the media deals for P4 Schools. You won’t be raising it through outside NIL collectives.
