What a let down today, we don't get to read any new  baked big12 propagandist  rumors. 

UNC and Notre Dame the most likely SEC additions, FSU and Clemson could be Big Ten bound

CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd believes that the SEC will be most interested in adding UNC and Notre Dame of the potential additions during the next round of conference realignment.

 

"SEC is done for now," Dodd said on his Inside ND Sports: Notre Dame football podcast. "If the SEC does anything, it will be ND or UNC is what I'm told."

Meanwhile, college football insider Brett McMurphy sees the SEC being interested in several schools from North Carolina and Virginia but has no interest in doubling up in schools from Florida and South Carolina, meaning FSU and Clemson may be Big Ten-bound.

According to Clemson Wire's Alex Turri, Stanford, Cal, and SMU have a 0% chance of landing in the Big Ten or SEC when the ACC inevitably implodes due to the exits of, at a minimum, FSU, Clemson, and UNC.

"... the final three programs, the newest to the ACC, are programs I see having a 0% chance of joining the SEC or Big Ten," Turri prefaced before saying, "While the two top conferences continue to expand, the Big 12 will do everything in their power to do the same. They’d consider a program like Stanford with their backs against the wall."

 

Turri would go on to say that Cal and SMU would also likely have Big 12 invites if/when the ACC falls, particularly the Mustangs, who would have four built-in in-state rivals and could reignite the DFW rivalry with TCU.

Meanwhile, Stanford and Cal would corner the Bay Area market for the Big 12; something the ACC accomplished but won't be able to maintain for long if the conference doesn't survive its top members abandoning ship.

"The North Carolina schools, the Virginia schools," McMurphy prefaced before saying, "Certainly the SEC would have interest. I don’t think they have interest in Florida State or Clemson because they’ve already got Florida and South Carolina.”

 

Realignment rumors pop up every day, but most credible rumors point to the ACC not existing in due time.

Ah yes Notre Dame would feel right at home in the SEC.  Not a cultural mismatch at all.

McMurphy isn't a Big 12 homer though. Berry Tramel or any of the multitude of fake big 12 insiders on Twitter, yes.

Why wouldn’t he be? His Alma mater is OK State & his daughter attended UCF.

I do believe both Dodd & McMurph are being fed smoke screens or false flags. I’m still believing FSU ends up in SEC. Just a hunch as we heard the same spin from SEC regarding not wanting to add Texas because they already had Texas A&M lol

And to add. You can tell the SEC was basically trolling the media by mentioning ND. ND is not going interested in the SEC. They will be staying the course imo

He's never been particularly friendly towards us. He's let off with his daughter here but doesn't necessarily hype us or the Big 12. Which I know can seem like a positive compared to the personal beef he has with USF lol.

I'm more inclined to believe your other post about what they're being fed by their sources. Sometimes it's clear but other times the reporters are just being used unknowingly. Like when a few were told that the PAC minus Colorado had patched things up and were all about to sign the GOR when the truth was that Oregon and Washington didn't even show up for the meeting and just texted Kliavkoff that they were leaving.

I'm not sure "culture" (as we have previously defined it) has much meaning / value in twenty-first century college football. If we can remove rivalries for the good of the corporation then we can add, at random as well. What cultural relationship does Stanford have with Clemson? Exactly how does Rutgers see Oregon? Notre Dame brings value to any conference they would choose to join...being, almost, a conference unto themselves already by virtue of their media deal, brand and schedule flexibility.  Very much a case of "what's in it for me" to decide to join any conference. 

But there's nothing good on tee-vee so we'll continue to while away the hours, concocting our favorite fantasy conferences until such time as one of the grownups makes a decision.

I don’t doubt both BigTen and SEC would take ND in a heartbeat. We all know that. But Notre Dame isn’t interested as long as they can stay Indy and access CFP. That was assured in the latest deal. So they aren’t going anywhere.

FSU and Clemson are probably more attractive to BigTen since they add new areas that the SEC already has. But here is an interesting point, BOTH Washington and Oregon went into BigTen at a lower rate. The current contract didn’t think they added enough to increase payouts for everyone. So will that still be the case for FSU and Clemson? They would probably still make more than in ACC even with a lower take of BT.

UNC is the key for the stability of the ACC after they lose FSU/ Clemson. If they don’t lose them, their payout will be similar to Big12. So no one is paying exit fees to go frommACC to Big12 or viseversa 

This whole ACC implosion and teams leaving for B12 is really a worse case scenario, not likely to happen, but being pushed by all the B12 homers.
