If FSU bolts I think we can make a very compelling case for the ACC. I just do not see Miami carrying the entire state of Florida. If the ACC does not care about Florida, then so be it, but Miami is not the Miami of old.

They are a relatively small private school at the southern tip of the state, who has terrible attendance. A large amount of thier fans are not alumni, which probably means loyalty is not a strongsuit. Yes they have National Championships and the swagger that went with it, and certainly they are ahead of USF in the pecking order. But for the ACC, to rest their entire prescence in the 4th most populist state on Miami might be a bit of a stretch.

"Sources at Ohio State University tell me that GT has already applied to the Big 10 and received an offer. If that’s true I would expect GT to decide shortly after the ACC championship game."

If this becomes true, then who is program #16? I don't think getting GT would sway ND to the B1G.

It'll probably be NC... Just a guess.

They could stay at 15, three pods with a wild card team making up the four semi-finalists for the B1G championship playoff.

That would be an interesting dynamic.

I would have thought that BC would have been a good option for the B1G.

It seems that Virginia is the school that the B1G wanted, but Virginia is dawdling so the B1G is moving on without them.

I don't blame the B1G for not waiting. Just figured they would go to 16.

Like the B12, they can afford to be patient. Someone will always want in. If they can stay at 15 for a while, maybe someone like ND finally caves.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
