Stanford, Cal, Washington, Oregon and one more of (Arizona/Utah). That's at least 5 West Coast teams that forms their own pod/group. $$$$$ would have to be right for all parties involved of course! Keeps the ACC in the P3 conversation

jump into that Texas market somehow! ESPN could make it happen without a doubt!

Wouldn't that stipulation just be for football membership?

etc.... stipulating that if "ND ever joins a conference for football, it had to be the ACC"? At least until 2036. Is that still a thing?

What keeps VT from AAU status? Is it research $$$ invested? Is there an application process for AAU membership? ** Edited by hoodat at 8/7/2022, 12:44:39 PM ** Edited by hoodat at 8/7/2022, 12:54:30 PM

add Utah. That's your west coast pod!

If the media controls all of this (which they do)...then ESPN/Disney/ABC/(whoever) can make or break these conferences! If the ACC is to survive, ESPN will have to figure out that plan. To me, to be the 3rd best conference, will take exactly what you are suggesting. A 20-24 team ACC. Do I like it....NO! But it really is all about survival at this point. ** Edited by hoodat at 7/19/2022, 1:01:06 PM ** Edited by hoodat at 7/19/2022, 1:05:31 PM

the ACC ended up with ND, Oregon, Washington, Stanford and maybe one from the Texas market? Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston or SMU? ** Edited by hoodat at 7/19/2022, 11:16:55 AM

P2 will get in revenue BUT, an ACC with those schools I named added to the current members….I would at least think somewhere around the $65-70 (perhaps this is a low number) million per year. That would solidify the conference as the 3rd strongest ** Edited by hoodat at 7/8/2022, 4:05:09 PM

the future of collegiate athletics The ACC should add 6 to get to 20 members. Those being: ND, WVU, Kansas, Stanford, Oregon, Washington. Maybe trade one of the west coast schools for a Texas option. Heck….make it a 24 team conference! Add to those 6……Baylor, Houston, BYU, Cincinnati That has got to be worth a few $million$ More per school!

BIG would be wise to get into the Atlanta t.v. market
