I have mentioned this before, but GT makes much more sense for the B1G. Take them and 1 team from FL and that would be well worth it them.

 

That would be gangsta.  I like GT and it would be fun for Bulls fans to come up every couple years.

The “juicer’s” comment is funny. IF the ACC only lost FSU and Clemson, Maybe UNC and one other school; backfill with PAC2, USF and Memphis, it’s still a conference at least on par with the B12, but with way better academics; which makes it a better conference, haha. I also think the floodgates are over blown, everyone outside of FSU, Clemson and UNC are better off staying together in the ACC than splintering with B12 and diluting revenue even more. 

I think this is a seriously undervalued point. I wouldn’t say the ACC is elite in this scenario, but we also identify the Big12 as “wide” not “deep”; there is no powerhouse brand of football single-handedly raising the profile of the B12, they just happen to have many very good and interesting football teams. This would be exactly the ACC assuming only a partial collapse. 

Both conferences would have many, very interesting teams, but entirely lack an equivalent Ohio State or Alabama brand within it. Add in the academic affiliations and realize that the country’s best schools from Cal, Stanford, Tulane, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Duke all the way to newest AAU guys like Miami and USF, and the ACC is objectively stronger than the truckstop conference.

Of course, all that matters in this context is sports, specifically football, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this unfolds, but USF will be one of the first additions when it’s time

Looks like the BigEast strikes again and this time with Fox screws UConn.

AWFULANNOUNCING.COM

A Big 12 consultant pitched adding UConn to the conference, but Fox Sports reportedly opposes the school leaving the Big East.
