    I decide to look at this as adding a recent national champ helped stabilize the league :smug:

    ACC is very fucked. If they were to add members, does it invalidate the GOR agreement?

    Big 12 survived. I wouldn’t call it better than the ACC. They still lost Texas and Oklahoma. The PAC 12 mortally wounded.

    Sure. Networks definitely want to pay a conference as the members are looking for life boats off that ship.

    ACC will be ok, if they start to fall apart that means the GOR is dead and they can add some AAC and Funbelt teams to get to 16 and still be a good conference

    That GOR is going to keep things going for a while. Don’t think the ACC will go anywhere soon. The PAC 12 is dead tho. Be super curious what happens to Oregon/Washington/Stanford in the near term (1-2 years).

    Is the Big Ten still going to be the Big Ten even when it balloons to twenty members? I hope so.

    If the BIG10 doesn't take UW and Oregon and the 4 corner schools go to the Big12, do they get left out? Seems to be a realistic scenario

    So if the six Pac teams head to the Big 12, you’ll see Wazzou and Oregon State head to the MWC with Cal and Stanford going Independent or doing a weird ACC football only thing, right? I can’t see the finances making sense for the ACC to have those two schools for any other sports.

    Money is the issue with Oregon/Washington. They won't bring in enough to raise everyone's yearly payout, and may actually decrease it. I've read they've pitched the idea of taking a smaller payout to get in the Big10

    Hope the B1G goes after Oregon and Washington. They’re good brands and pair with the 2 west coast schools. Not sure if the money will make it possible tho

    isn’t Phil Knight pretty tied to ESPN? have to think that’s a factor when considering the “fox conference”

    the big 12 is likely to stay with espn and some kind of streaming option imo with the new commissioners NBA background

    USF refusing to let UCF join the Big East killed that conference. Clearly the Big 12 learned from that mistake.
