DCarp1231 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Is there any more substance on Clemson and Florida State joining the SEC? If the ACC loses those two, outside of UNC and Duke, the conference loses any kinda of relevancy with it. Merge with the SBC + Liberty and call it a decade.

The ACC is locked into its current contract through 2035. I don't doubt that those two (and Miami, UNC, etc) are looking for a way to get out as soon as possible, but unless they find some not-yet-noticed loophole in the deal they'll have to wait until then.

Geoff Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The only way to get out of the ACC GOR is to have something like 5 or 7 schools all on board to axe it at the same time. It's going to be incredibly had to get landing spots for that many teams all at once. Quote Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd require the SEC and Big Ten both going to 20, something like SEC: Florida State, Miami, Clemson, Virginia Tech Big Ten: North Carolina, Duke, Virginia, Notre Dame (they're an ACC member in everything but football, so I assume their vote would count the same as anyone else's) But I have a hard time believing that the conferences will be interested in that many, especially Duke, UVA, and VT. Georgia Tech and NC State might be in the conversation for one or both conferences as well? I don't know, but either way I think they'll just have to wait it out until the deal expires naturally.

I expect the Big Ten will get to at least 20, but not with all ACC schools. I'm sure they'd want to take Notre Dame, but the other 3 would need to be PAC schools to set up a balanced 5-team division format with an all-PAC/west division for UCLA and USC.

crashcarson15 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 SMU is, functionally, infinitely richer than any of Fresno State, Hawai'i, UNLV, etc., is in a market and recruiting territory that actually matters (that the league doesn't already have access to), and actually has money that's interested in interscholastic sports. It also gives the Pac-12 the option of having the occasional game in the noon ET time slot as part of a TV contract. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 So...somehow, we're here...where somehow, someway, with Texas no longer available, the best consolation prize for the Pac 12 is, of all places, SMU.

It would be funny if Texas becomes the new ACC Miami and not win the SEC for 2 decades after being the biggest and most lucrative team in the Big 12 while SMU excels like their Fort Worth counterpart has since getting the Big 12 invite Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I mean its like West Virginia in the Big 12 with the closest team in Iowa. At least they will have Cincinnati in between them next year. Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
