Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

That is one of the few CBB games that makes money for TV. How much that changes post k? Who knows.

I would expect us to hitch our wagons to whichever NC team gets left out.

if that team is NC State...they just hitched their wagons to Clemson, instead of us, earlier this week (not that Clemson is interested in carrying NC State)
 
How strong do you all think the ACC grant of rights is? It says that if Notre Dame joins a conference before 2036 it has to join the ACC. And if any members leave before 2036 the ACC gets their TV revenue. Will schools risk not being able to get out of the grant of rights to join the SEC/BIG?
 
Duke is in for a rude awakening if they think the B1G wants them. Basketball doesn't move the needle, even if it's Duke. If UNC gets picked up by the B1G they're not going to make their acceptance contingent on Duke coming along. They can play each other OOC in bball every year.

If the ACC falls apart I think the play for us, and Duke probably, is to go indy in football and try to join the Big East. It's either that or end up in some weird Frankenstein conference of forgotten teams where we're playing conference basketball games at Oregon State on weeknights.

This blows, but at least Wellman isn't around to fuck things up worse.

That is the big question on the table. It has previously been stated here that the grant of rights is very strong.

My understanding is that ND's risk is their non-football TV revenue, which seems easy to overcome in their case.

regarding the B1G making a return on today's news:

 
Have to imagine that Phillips will go all-in to get ND football any way possible.

The ACC is now on life support. :(

Which is crazy because the BIG10 has won only one NCAA championship in football or men’s basketball in the past two decades.
 
the leftovers of the acc would be just as good as any other second tier conference we could join plus would be in line for the big gor payday if conference breaks down.

Nebraska VB is awesome, phenomenal athletes and last year NCAA runners up, sold out every home match since 200. Put ‘em outside and they kick your ass too.
 
Meanwhile the ACC is stuck with an ESPN network whose only ads are for late night informercial products and another channel that cord cutters don’t have access to. Hope they’re enjoying their office visits!
 
Cincy, West Virginia, Kansas, okl state, hope for notre dame. Just pull the trigger

ETA: Baylor?

So if Oregon and Washington are the next teams to join the Big 10, the obvious targets would be Cal and Stanford. Add Washington State and Arizona, Utah and Colorado and call it the Coastal Conference. Not as strong as SEC or Big 10 in football but strong enough and full of good schools.

None in women’s basketball unless you count Maryland when they were in the ACC. None in baseball.

Really makes you mad how the Big Ten has out maneuvered the ACC despite having less success.

At this point, I don’t care who we grab as long as we don’t have to play them regularly.

"What we are hoping to achieve is to have three great conferences come together to bring some stability to college athletics and to work together from a scheduling standpoint — not just college football and men's basketball but all of our Olympic sports," said Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren last October.

Apparently Dave Odom was right, the end is not the trophy. The end is TV ratings. And giant state schools that can fill big stadiums and command big TV audiences have the advantage.
