[@DavidHall-rq1zh]

It wasn't ESPN. It was the B1G. They have already destroyed the Pac 12 and are now working on the ACC. Remember that agreement they had with the Pac 12 as they were negotiating with USC and others to leave for the B1G. Now they are arrogantly talking about who they are "GOING TO TAKE" out of the ACC. They will help all of the non AAU members get accredited. They are a joke...People who live in the South actually do wear shoes. They are in for a rude awakening when the dust finally settles on this. They were actually the Big 2...now with the addition of USC they are now the Big 3. I hope the ACC survives even though I'm a SEC fan.

[@mark8337]

Not really. The changes are being driven by the law, court cases, the NCAA not having an antitrust exemption, and, then the viewers (ratings) on media outlets. Media deals are based upon viewership and brands. The players must get paid due to court cases. The players must have the right to transfer per same. The scope is national and only regional in the sense of where the schools that have the most viewers are. Most viewers are in the Big Ten and SEC footprint. That’s why they have the higher paid media deals. That’s why some schools want to join them, if invited. We are heading to a Power 3 with the Big 12 being the weak sister to the Big Ten and SEC due to less viewers and money. Conferences that can’t compete with viewers and therefore money will eventually have a Tier 2 level of conferences and eventually their own playoff, and some may drop big time football all together. It’s not anybody’s fault. It’s the law and the marketplace.

Look for their football stock to bristle to a level if not FSU or Clemson, then at least above the rest and will reap benefits associated with it. Coupled with location amd academics/research, I don't see them getting left out of any B1G extension south.

[@intoodeep7106]

While money is still a major factor you can't overlook the social and cultural factors in this type of realignment analysis. Clemson fits the SEC culture much better than Miami, while Miami's international reputation fits what the Big Ten is looking for like a glove. Plus adding both FSU and Miami is still adding a new state for Fox. For NC, if you have to split that state then shifting NC State to the SEC and Duke to Big Ten is the better way. Big Ten values elite academics and Duke would be a massive get for the BTAA. Plus (and here's where you're missing the bigger picture) Duke and Miami would be lures for Notre Dame. Yes, we're all aware of the Domers and their refusal to join a conference but Big Ten legacy programs still haven't given up. Don't ask me why. So I think the breakdown would go like this: SEC - Clemson, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Virginia Tech Big Ten - Virginia, Duke, Florida State, Miami (future) - Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame Louisville is not joining the Big Ten. Not a good fit.

A Virginia school being in the SEC is more important to them than Big 10. Many Virginia/Virginia Tech alumni live in Washington, DC market. Big 10 has Maryland and they have a lot of DC and Baltimore alumni (top 25 markets). SEC only has Dallas and Miami (through Texas and Florida). Everyone should be thinking top TV markets for these conferences.

[@GreatDinkino1]

I know GT may not be a needle-moving brand, but I think they have enough going for them to be a sleeper team for the B1G. (New state with great recruiting potential, location in the heart of downtown Atlanta, AAU member)

[@roris5882]

But they don't take football seriously, therefore they don't have the ATL market.

[@DavidM442]

The question is how many seats are available ? If the B1G takes 2 teams? Is GT the #1 or #2 team to take? If B1G takes more, okay. That’s the challenge with this round of realignment is that it appears most seats are taken. So many articles and insiders say that the B1G takes 2, SEC takes 2-4, and where do the other schools go? Maybe the Power 2 will take more? No one knows, not even the decision makers yet. And even the insiders are guessing.

[@Mr.Ed_Wayner]

B1G will in its FSU & UNC at full shares to get to 20. Of the B1G expands past 20 then I could see Miami, UVA and GT. They will stay at 23 and wait out ND. The SEC if they expand will bring in Clemson, NCSt, BT and Kansas all at a discount. B12 will grab Louisville, Duke, Pitt, SDSU & UConn and focus on dominating BB even more even if they lose Kansas. Wake, BC and Syracuse will work with Calford and SMU to keep the ACC as a P4 conference. They will invite WSU, OSU, USF, Tulane, Memphis, UTSA, AF, CSU, Fresno St and Boise State to make a 16 team conference.

[@troywest7045]

I think that nobody outside of Notre Dame is getting more than half shares till the next deal in 2030. The B1G Presidents set a precedent last year adding Wa/Or at half shares till the next deal. Last thing they would want to do would be to create discord in the conference with unequal revenue to it's newest members. Plus it's safe to assume if that was the case, then all four west coast teams would simply vote no on expansion.

Other than that i think u have made some great points and i can definitely get on board with everything else you said.

[@kennethjohnson9496]

My eventual prediction: B1G - Clemson, FSU, ND (I know they aren’t technically in the ACC but I think they eventually join the B1G), Louisville, UVA, Pitt, Syracuse, GT SEC - UNC, Duke (If Duke is smart, which they are, they wouldn’t accept membership unless it involves all of their sports. I also think UNC-Duke is more of a package deal than UNC-NCST), NCST (at the end of the day the governing bodies of NC wants their big 3 in the same conference imo), VT, Miami, WVU (I know they’re in the B12, but I think they come to the SEC in the next round of expansion). If this happens, this will create a lot more SEC-B1G annual matchups from traditional rivalries. UF-FSU, SC-Clem, UK-Louisville, UGA-GT, Pitt-WVU, UVA-VT, etc. I think the B1G will add more teams than SEC the next round. The two biggest linchpins for the next round isn’t Clemson & FSU, it’s ND & UNC. I fully expect UNC to go to the SEC. ND is the true wild card though. I think the SEC wants to do as much as they can to stay as southern geographically as possible. VT & WVU being about as north as they’d want to go. However, with that said, if there is 1 team out of the south (that’s not in the B1G already) that the SEC would take in a second is ND! I truly believe that. Other than OSU, which would NEVER leave the B1G, ND is the only team outside of the south that the SEC would welcome with opened arms is ND. I think if ND goes to the B1G as expected, your synopsis that the SEC & B1G are working together would be proven to be true cause I think ND is the B1G’s number 1 target as well. However, if ND goes rogue and joins the SEC instead, that’d destroy any working relationship between the SEC & B1G. At that point it’d truly be the Wild Wild west 😂.

[@jameskemp1963]

I like the VA teams assessment but one minor detail omitted. The legislature handling the conference discussions said it wasn't about keeping VT and UVA in the same conference, but ensuring each school is not left out if the other heads to brighter pasture. This was the key in VT going to the ACC after UVA tried to veto it at first. ACC was destroying the BIG East and the VA legislature stepped in to not have VT get relegated out of the P5/4. So if both have spots in the P2, it works.

Thanks for the update and opinions of conference realignment for ACC schools. When it comes to Miami, I disagree with your assessment. You and everyone else in the outside world don't understand the Miami metropolitan sports fanbase. You alluded to Miami fans loving the pro sports teams, but missed the mark. What the people in the metro Miami and SF area love is a winner. They will get behind whatever team is winning. There are too many things going on around the city that fans will not waste their time and money with the blind loyalty that you see around the landscape of college football. The Canes fans are there. They are passionate. They are the ultimate consumer. You will not get their money if you don't win. You will in spades if you do win. That's the bottom line. Secondly, I disagree that Miami winds up in the SEC. Miami is an AAU school with a ton of available academic research with it's UM Healthcare. That would be a big coup for the B1G. I just don't see the B1G letting all that academic research slide. I also believe the perception and reality of teams could change after the 2024 season. It depends if FSU and Clemson get out of the conference before the 2024 season ends. I believe Miami is ascending nationally and Clemson is regressing. The 2024 tv viewership should increase dramatically for Miami. I think the tv numbers for Miami will open a lot of eyes if they have the kind of season that results in an ACC title and CFP appearance. That would change the game for Miami and give them leverage for a full share or shorter period leading to a full share in whichever conference they join. If you're paying attention, Miami is quietly making moves and positioning itself with back 2 back top 10 recruiting classes and is set for a 3rd. My understanding is the Miami NIL program is bankrolled by 4 billionaires and fans are joining the Canes Connection NIL collective they started. Miami is also building new facilities on campus. No need for an on campus stadium. Hard Rock hosts CFP games and Super Bowls. It is centrally located for all Canes fans and is one of the best stadiums in the country. The fact that Miami is not vocal against the ACC is irrelevant. It serves no purpose at this point in time and has no benefit for Miami at this time. The Miami administration will play its hand at the appropriate time that maximizes their opportunities.

If the (big IF) the current conference commissioners puts more effort behind returning to a status quo yet going to the proposed 70-team super conference the overwhelming appearance of the SEC's and B1G strength over college football--if not all of college sports. "Returning to a status quo yet going to the proposed 70-team super conference" means the status quo would be a reprieve return to allowing for regionalism akin to the traditional conferences of pre-2014 college football world while allowing college football funds to dictate that sport only.

All of this has gone off the rails. It should be: FSU, Clemson, NCST and VT to the SEC UNC, UVA, ND and Miami to the Big Ten Pitt, Louisville, Duke and GT to the big 12. But we can’t have things make sense.

[@RyanHoover-ny6pt]

Your proposal is definitely what the big ten wants, the question is what the SEC wants or if that's good enough for them. Academics to the Big Ten, football powerhouses to the SEC. New states matter less each passing day. If you're telling me the big two conferences and networks are actually working together this seems much more likely than what's presented in the video. Yes, money money money, but only considering TV markets is also off. Louisville is not going to the big 10 for any price.

[@ronelite582]

Im hearing the SEC wants UNC and UVA along with @RedMagee409 list of programs. The Big will snag ND, Miami along with Cal and Stanford. The Big and SEC will have 22 programs each.

I don't understand how adding a state, or even a media market, benefits a conference. Syracuse and Pitt added NY and Penn, but neither helped the ACC at all. It's all about fan base, and only teams with large fan bases bring any value. That's why Duke and Wake are worthless even though the teams aren't that bad.

[@christopherhooter1937]

Depends on the school, and the state. But big states and their respective flagships (eg, UNC & UVA) are targets #1, 2, & 3. Like it or not, FSU is not the State Flagship, and these sites are 'over selling,' IMO

So, here is the problem with your B1G teams. I read a recent article that said there are enough university presidents that will not accept any school that is not an AAU member. Remember USC is in the B1G and was against adding any Big 12 teams to the PAC 12. I'm sure the 4 new teams are part of the group to block non AAU members from joining. Also, the SEC has said they want state schools so the thought of them adding Miami is laughable.

FSU has to join the b1G to get voted into the AAU because there is no incentive for the B1G to help them get voted in if they go to the SEC.

I hope you’re wrong. An I believe you’re wrong. • Neither SEC or B1G will split a school (Duke) and just take basketball. • You underestimate Clemson’s presence in NC. Charlotte is closer to Clemson than Chapel Hill. • You underestimate the number of OSU transplants in SC. B1G already has huge footprint in SC. • You think UNC is more valuable than Clemson. No, not until they get off their wallet and really start investing in sports. • Clemson is a much better fit in SEC. Clemson to B1G would be like putting a round peg in a square hole. • If B1G and ESPN really are coordinating the (questionable) it is Clemson and FSU (the two most valuable programs) that will be split.

[@sethholland8290]

To the Big12, unless UNC agrees to go to the B1G so NC State can go to the SEC because the B1G will never add NC State.

[@observer466]

I agree with your main point about an NC FSU deal between the SEC and B1G. I also agree that for the SEC to come in and take FSU as the ACC disintegrates would be a major problem. Of course there is no paperwork, and there is no one that could complain or file litigation to try and stop it, so no discovery ever. I also think that the B1G would be willing to loan FSU lots of money to defer whatever they pay the ACC. The B1G loaned money to Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers. Not sure about the other two, but I think that Rutgers last payment to the B1G is in 2026. As an example in 2022, the B1G paid out about $58 million per team. RU got less than $30 million. Disagree strongly about Louisville. Its academics are far too weak to ever be considered by the B1G. Clemson is very much a border line academically for the B1G. Who will want Duke without basketball? How will Duke football survive without the hoops? If Duke could somehow split off football (not happening) then the Big East is the logical place for other sports to go. The most likely landing space is a watered down ACC. If not, the Big 12 might be willing to take the entire Duke package. I also would not hold my breath that either the SEC or the B1G would take NC State or Va Tech. I could see UNC and/or UVA paying UCLA taxes so that those two others could go the Big 12 which should welcome them both.
