Does that mean they have to poach non-ACC schools because of the GoRs? And would new schools still need to abide by their weird AAU standard? Arizona, ASU, Utah, Colorado and Kansas fit the bill. That’s only 5 though. I wonder who would be #6? ISU used to be AAU I believe. Or does that mean the Big 18 thinks they can get enough schools to leave the ACC to blow up the GoRs? If so, the could add UVa, UNC, GT and Miami to add too UMCP and Rutgers for a six school eastern division, and the add 2 schools like Arizona and ASU to the west to make that a six school western division. The other 2 divisions could be the 12 team Big 10 from before the additions of the Rutgers and UMCP. Then if the SEC wants to stay at 16 would that mean they would have 4 four team divisions competing with the Big 24’s 4 six team divsions? ** Edited by Calamitous at 1/18/2026, 9:43:28 PM
