    I never put any reckless moves out the window in college football but hard to see how any ACC school bites that huge bullet for at least 5 years.

    the major teams will eventually break away from the NCAA or at least have complete autonomy.

    i would prefer an ACC merger (provided it's secure and teams don't get poached by the SEC soon) to the big 12

    think I'm going to take up a hobby for fall saturdays, though

    this is part of the weird position the ACC has to be in, right? If they propose a merger I would assume the current GOR would be trashed and schools would be asked to sign a new one. But FSU, Clemson, and Miami would have to refuse to do that, right? Those schools in particular can't be dumb enough to continue down this road. A merged ACC and Pac 12 is better than what they have but still will be significantly lower on payouts than the SEC and Big.

    Need the ACC/PAC coastal alliance. Perhaps in-season mini-tournaments for our other sports with the football championship game rotating between Vegas and Miami each year.

    Seattle, Eugene, Tucson, Tempe, Salt Lake City, Boulder, Provo. Pretty decent locales for an away game trip.

    Road trip in B1G? Piscata-where?

    Arizona/ASU always felt more like BigXII schools than PAC12 schools, imo. I have no reasoning for this other than "feels like"

    Seeing as Greg Sankey recently went to Washington DC to fight for NIL oversight, I don't think you're right.

    I think most want some sort of regulation and oversight.

    and the schools know resources aren’t unbounded. They’re just going to raise all the limits. You’ll see 100 scholarships v no scholarship limit stuff like that. They’re gonna price the small schools out of everything but not kill each other
