Conference Expansion: Stanford, California and SMU Join the ACC

[PhDeac]

I would get a big laugh if FSU chased UCF into the Big XII.

 

[BarcaDeac]

I can't see FSU getting in the Big Ten without taking an even worse deal than Oregon and Washington took.

those dummies would get swindled so easily

 

[w84it]

None of the Big Ten fans I know want FSU to join, but also I don't know any Big Ten fans that wanted USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington to join either.

 

[PhDeac]

None of this has to do with what fans really want.

I’m not even sure most FSU fans wanted out of the ACC until their leaders started selling them false hope.

Here's a copy, its only 3 and a half pages. https://wwwcache.wralsportsfan.com/...238/ACC-Grant-of-Rights-1-DMID1-5vgd1w2if.pdf

Section 6 is probably what you would want to look at.

I think I spot a loophole - only UNC signed!

Expert WVU fan MHver3 felt he hadn’t gotten enough engagement in a little while and claims NC State and Virginia Tech reached out to the Big 12, and have been rejected by SEC and Big 10

Good riddance to those two! Gets us closer to 8 and round robin hoops again.

Insert mandatory "but football..."

Nah. I would be very sad if any of the big 4 were no longer in the same conference. Best part of bringing in Stanford, SMU, and Cal was that the schedules got revamped and the Wake/State rivalry streak is unbroken.

I don’t care about VT at all.

Seriously. NC State leaving would be devastating. They’re the only rival who actually hates us.

Who

Some podcast guy that always puts out realignment bs and people eat it up. I’ve learned to not take word on the ACC from WVU fans

They are just holding out hope that the Swafford helping Swafford deal with Raycom somehow comes back to bite the ACC in the ass.

Interesting take on Stanford and Cal.

They might be screwed up enough to be a good fit with us, excluding Louisville. Hell we might of well have brought in Conneticut.

State is our biggest rival. Feel like its heated up the past few seasons, but maybe that's just me.

 

[PaddyWF]

Duke/Wake has lust some luster, imo. Claw and Cut didn't seem to get along, which added some gas to football. Who knows with Diaz.

Think the UNC/WF football games have had much better energy even though Mack owns us right now. Some gut-punch losses there.

Basketball just doesn't feel like a rival game anymore with Duke. There isn't any genuine disgust, we don't win enough and haven't really hurt their chances at anything in many seasons.

 

[Biff Tannen]

Stupid question perhaps. But what makes the ACC settle at all?

Biff is now a contract interpretation expert; he so good that he can give a legal interpretation of an agreement that he has never read.

 

[awakegirl]

Why on earth would they negotiate?

 

[Biff Tannen]

Well the ACC might just be saying that they’ll negotiate starting at $800 million.

Or maybe they realize they have some cracks in their iron clad GOR and it’s open to getting what it can.
