Far from determined whether that’s an edge or not
And who do you think the additional teams are going to be? It’s not going to be a 7 team conference. Even if you add Tulane and SMU it’s likely that those schools i mentioned would also be in. UConn and Pitt are also not equivalent academic schools btw.No we wouldn't we would be in the ACC remnants with the likes of BC, UCONN, Pitt, Stanford, Cal, Duke. Please don't act like every ACC team but us is going somewhere else.
Actually doing that two years ago might have put both leagues in much stronger position.the ACC has an alliance with the PAC 12 so i think it'll be ok
In the doomsday scenario - I see BC, Duke, GT, Cuse, Stanford, Cal, and SMU all remaining in the ACC. And that’s a lot of IF’s for a lot of schools who are borderline attractive to leave (State, VT, LVille, Pitt) That’s some type of conference left.
Yep. Instead they let the Big Ten in to double-cross them. Almost makes me think Jim Phillips was in on it.Actually doing that two years ago might have put both leagues in much stronger position.
It’s borderline Elrod stuff.Yep. Instead they let the Big Ten in to double-cross them. Almost makes me think Jim Phillips was in on it.
The ACC will continue to exist. where are these teams going?

Texas and Oklahoma, obviously.Understand and concede the edges that the SEC and Big 10 have. Do not understand or agree with any concession to the Big 12. They are essentially the ACC West with the same TV revenues and a GOR holding the conference together.
If football continues to drive the train, why is the Big 12 in a better position than the ACC? What Big 12 programs draw national eyeballs? Baylor? No
Texas Tech? No
Kansas? No
K State? No
Colorado? No
Unfortunately the performance on the field matters very little. It’s all about brand and eyeballs.I think some of you are placing way too much value on football programs not named Clemson, FSU and Miami (and in 2023 even Miami is a stretch). And, this is ALL about football. Make no mistake. I'm not sure there will be some mass dismantling as much as poaching. Now, can the poaching lead to dissolution eventually? Sure. But I don't see this as cataclysmic as some might fear. Yes, we've been pitiful to marginal in football but let's not kid ourselves that some of these other schools have been worth a damn more than a handful of times either.
It's eyeballs on TVs that count.Just like the NFL, attendance at the games doesn't matter.
Well, if we do that we can’t be Division 1 any moreI’m not as concerned about future conference affiliation as I am about our athletics department adjusting to a much much smaller budget. In the likely scenario where we lose major conference affiliation, we likely also lose 30+ million dollars a year in revenue. We would likely have to cut a number of our sports programs.
