B12 is in a much better position than Pac/ACC. All they have to do is wait for the ND domino to fall, then they can (likely) cherry pick who they want from the west coast. ACC honestly seems to be in the worst position of all. Unless they agree to get ND as a full time member, they’re not only going to crumble as a conference, but individual schools also risk getting left behind in realignment. Not sure how hard UNC, Miami, Clemson, and FSU will push for an early exit, either.
Sounds like the ACC is pushing for unequal revenue sharing to get the bigger brands to stay and that is a recipe for disaster
If you are one of the 8-10 schools unlikely to be poached then hold strong and take a huge payday instead of cutting yourself down for 10 years then get way less when they leave anyhow.
ACC is a bag of dicks and everyone in the conference is a fucking Idiot for signing that shit. Eat arbys
Gonna be hilarious when they pay Clemson for what Dabo has done today and then he ends up at Liberty and Clemson goes back to just being average.
We're the only reason that college football was played in 2020 and this is the thanks we get? Disgusting
Correct it made no sense to allow them to be in the ACC for one season. Should have froze them out and forced their hand.
Yes, but like any conference, the ACC likes money and viewers. They got more of both in 2020 than ever. Hell, the ACCCG more than doubled the previous year's viewership.
the only question remains is whether bezos or tim apple will overpay for quality big 12 content with the new members
Stay in PAC, join Big XII, go independent, shutter football program. That is a lot of options. Some may say many options.
Noles enjoyed the ACC plenty when it was "Florida State and the Little 8" and they won like 15 straight conference titles. Time to lay in that bed you made boys
Because they want to stall until they find out if they got off the waitlist at B1G or SEC headquarters.
why would the arizona schools be interested in waiting that one out for oregon when they could be earning 20 million more with the big 12
“We’re not just stalling, we’re totally committed to the conference.” “OK” There’s a reason that the hot, dumb kids go to school in Arizona.
Idk know why everyone keeps on assuming the sec will just take fsu, miami and clemson. SEC is already in those markets in a big way and i have doubts if any would add value. Also if i am an sec program i try to keep them out because they are direct competition in recruiting. Better off trying to limit their resources not help them.
I think we’d want Miami over FSU or Clemson, but we certainly don’t need any of them. UNC is the crown jewel of the ACC.
If markets were more important than eyeballs, the Big 10 would have taken Cal or Stanford instead of UCLA.
Agree those will be the schools b1g and sec battle for. More i think about it though, i think acc just becomes a league with some crazy unequal revenue sharing.
i cant see miami, virginia, VT, NCSU, duke, etc increasing the per-school payout to either the sec or big ten at the current projected numbers, and maybe not even florida state or UNC tbh you’ve gotta bring in 100 million annually to 16 other schools, can anyone other than ND do that? we’ve already seen that oregon cant and they are a similar brand to clemson/fsu/unc
If i am fsu, clemson, miami, unc, i am demanding unequal revenue sharing or threatening to just break off and create our own league with 8-10 acc schools that has less mouths to feed.
I don't see the SEC adding any more teams unless they're in North Carolina or Virginia. It's not like they need heavy hitters. It's TV markets the league wants. They took Texas A&M when they couldn't get Texas. They will take NCState if they can't get UNC or Duke, but obviously those are the big ones the league would want.
They are below the following schools on the pecking order: ND, UNC, UVA, Miami, Clemson, FSU, VT, maybe even Duke. They don’t bring anything to the table.
I don't know that 'markets ' in the traditional sense is going to drive the bus, streaming monetization of CFB will be as big a factor as cable
