Ultimately all the suing is just postering for a settlement for a lower buyout.

What can the ACC do to make their lives a living hell on the way out?

FSU and Clemson could probably leave the conference followed by having their attorneys tie all this up for years in litigation.

Ultimately I think a settlement will be reached.

It has been over three months since I read an article at yahoo sports about B1G expansion (I read it back in December). What I found fascinating is that the article stated that the B1G ADs were informally asked to list their preferred schools for expansion (they were asked by the author). Two schools were listed by all of the ADs. Those two schools were UVA and UNC. Bothe Clemson and FSU were not listed on half of the ADs lists. It is entirely possible that FSU could find themselves leaving the ACC and not being invited to the B1G as s many are assuming. Personally I think that if FSU and Clemson negotiate a lower settlement they are going to the SEC. UNC and UVA will leave and go to the B1G.

 

Forget about ND to the B1G. ND is focused on being a top notch undergrad school (like Villanova), has only 2 doctoral programs and less than 30 masters programs. B1G bylaws require 20 doctoral programs and over 50 masters programs. Joining the B1G comes up at their board of trustees meeting every 4 or 5 years and it has always been voted down. I have not seen anything that indicates that is changing.

True, probably also Duke, SMU, North Carolina State, and Syracuse.

Still a decent base of teams to built on. Still a better situation for us to be in compared to the AAC.

 

There is no such thing as a worse situation than the AAC. It is beyond embarrassing that our university has fallen to this level. Every day that we remain associated with this conference further erodes everything we've built.

Whats embarrassing is watching a school to east invest in football and pass us by. We deserve to be exactly where we are at this point.

I could come up with a 100 situations that are worse than being in the AAC. Sun belt, Mac, Conference USA, independent, no program...

I'd take all of those options over watching a conference slate of rice, North Texas, Birmingham, Charlotte etc.

I’m biased and a prisoner of the moment. But, why isn’t the Big 12 clamoring to lock this rivalry up into its league.
