It's going to be costly for UNC/Clemson...

if they are the only 2 ACC teams to leave. The GOR will hurt them financially for a decade. Both Clemson and UNC would make out better financially in the ACC even with it's lower media revenues. They won't help the SEC. You may be right that the SEC and B1G may be done expanding at 16. 20 would be easier to schedule/manage than 18. 20 would give the SEC/B1G 4 divisions of 5. 18 gives them 3 divisions of 6. If both conferences settle at 16, that's better news for the ACC.That means the ACC still has Clemson, FSU and UNC. Notre Dame is still a football independent. ** Edited by Old Line Hokie at 7/6/2022, 10:39:19 AM

AAU (lack thereof) is going to hurt us.**
HokieDelNorte • 07/06/22 12:15 PM ET
No it won’t.**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 04:18 PM ET
SEC/Big Ten take two more teams each. ND, Oregon to BIG, CU, UNC to SEC.

I hope. I know there’s not going to be 30 team super conferences though..
BNOMO • 07/06/22 10:56 AM ET
Duke and Virginia could be of great value to the B1G in the future.
tarheelblue • 07/06/22 11:21 AM ET
At some point the B1G picks up more west teams. B1G

UVA, UNC, Duke, and GT would be more likely to Big-10
I85Hokie • 07/06/22 08:44 AM ET
Expansion is football driven first. Duke and UVA? What do they bring to a

I posted this above, but I will post it here again.

Hoops tourney makes money be ause of it's breadth and diversity across

One could say the same thing about college football.**
tarheelblue • 07/06/22 01:40 PM ET
I agree with this. If they had their pick**
133193Hokie • 07/06/22 08:53 AM ET
The B1G would be better off picking up Ore, Wash, Stanford and ND
hokieZ71 • 07/06/22 08:28 AM ET
UVA, UNC, Pitt, GT - all AAU schools; VT not an AAU school
VT Pops • 07/06/22 08:11 AM ET
AAU is not a mandatory requirement
Mercury • 07/06/22 08:41 AM ET
My point
VT Pops • 07/06/22 09:56 AM ET
I guarantee if VT checks off enough of the right boxes, it won’t matter**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 02:09 PM ET
Maybe tv will call that shot. If I'm the network, I want some say.**
IB4TECH • 07/06/22 10:18 AM ET
Nebraska lost its AAU status after it joined.
hokieZ71 • 07/06/22 08:30 AM ET
Actually they lost it before they joined
EDGEMAN • 07/06/22 08:33 AM ET
I guarantee the B1G prez’s knew NU was being kicked out before the invite**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 02:07 PM ET
You'd be one of three non AAU members if ND also joins
clemson81nc • 07/06/22 08:15 AM ET
Didn’t know they lost it**
VT Pops • 07/06/22 09:53 AM ET
They were in the process of losing it when they were invited.**
marcbvtgm • 07/06/22 02:10 PM ET
I think we are quickly reaching the point where remaining teams only

The VA market is still untapped by the SEC. That's an advantage for us.**
IB4TECH • 07/06/22 10:22 AM ET
That is a possibility. That’s why insiders say UNC is the second choice…
BNOMO • 07/06/22 11:02 AM ET
I bet Clemson is bigger in Charlotte than UNC.**

They kind of are a sleeping giant, but hoops is king at UNC, especially

If UW/WSU and Ore/OSU have to come together...
Old Line Hokie • 07/06/22 09:51 AM ET
maybe true
Vippie1 • 07/06/22 11:21 AM ET
I could see GT in the BIG before Pitt! BIG already has Penn State.
