The ACC found itself in third place for revenue generation last year, earning $707 million but with football being the main money maker, the lack of National Championships in recent years is creating a burden.

Interesting spin on this. The ACC has won 3 National Championships in the last 11 seasons, which is more than the B1G (2) and Big XII (0) combined.

Right. That's what i was thinking when reading it. Didn't read beyond that.

Seems to be the agenda recently.

I'd take the opposite position of Dodd.

I get there are logistical reasons why you can't just switch conferences immediately, but we've seen several schools successfully transition in this accelerated era. I would hate for the next round of realignment to be announced in 2025 with the change taking place in 2028. That's such a dry-hump.

We have?

Outside of Utah, I am not sure who else has "successfully" transitioned from a G5/P5 type of call up.

TCU probably counts too. I think UCF and BYU will eventually be on that list.

I think Houston and Cincinnati are mistakes that the Big 12 wishes they could undo.

Kind of thought about TCU, too, but, to me anyway, I have a problem considering teams from the old Southwest Conference as true G5's ...

I mean successfully as in they sorted out the logistics of scheduling, creating assets for the new conference, integrating all sports into the transition in a short window. Not actual on-field success. My whole point is I'm hoping the next round isn't announced and then the schools leaving stay in their current conference for 3 more seasons. There's no need for that amount of time to pass when you announce an exit.
