Only if we actually make it into a new conference. Then there will be lull for a few months before we start speculating on the next new conference. 

Not if we get into the SEC. Unless we think the NFL will pick us up?

Good point, the SEC is the ultimate pinnacle and we will never get there so my prediction is we get to 7k before a nuclear holocaust takes us all out.  With this in mind, please refrain from posting conjecture and hyperbolic sarcasm, only value added content allowed to preserve our existence. If we abide by these guidelines we may never see 5k and therefore have saved the human race.

I've always felt that the humans were grossly overrated. Takin' the over.

Touché, this board is a testament to that train of thought, after further consideration, **** it, post what you want.

I know that we are hearing a lot about USF to the ACC. 

 

However, would it be possible to communicate with UCONN's and Utah's AD for talks to walk into the ACC as a group when FSU (and maybe Clemson) leave?

Best Scenario for the ACC in my book.
1.They lose FSU/ Clemson and they pay exit fee

2. ESPN extends current contract

3. Add: Utah,Oregon State,USF and either SDSU or UConn. They could add all but Utah at a lower rate.

That would give them 19 football and 20 all sports. With a Western Wing of 4-5 schools.

Will it happen, probably not, but of those three scenarios I think

#1 Will happen, probably no later than next year

#2 Highly likely, question will be what’s the financials there

#3 All except for Utah would gladly come, UConn might waver since they are protecting basketball.

The bigger question I think is UNC, If the Tar Heels stay then they probably limit loses.

Utah's AD owes us one.

I would hate to have to play BOOCONN every year (zero buzz) but I'll take what I can get.

SEC? That would be epic, but not happening.
