Not opposed to some alignment with the BE in basketball

If it increases revenue for ACC schools. But in general, adding one sport schools, or non-football schools will only lead to issues. If the Big XII goes this way, look for them to add football from UConn, Temple, Villanova, or whoever they add for basketball. Its not a recipe for security, it is a stop-gap. For the BE, they started as basketball conference and added Football later to lure in new schools with strong football programs, so that is different and shouldn't be a model.

All this about the BigXII adding basketball only schools.

I'd Rather See the ACC take Football & Basketball Schools to do the same.

You hit on the three basketball schools that make sense.

This looks like “Fox“ is getting into the henhouse. Are they behind this?

The rumors I'm seeing are that TBS is behind this.

I wonder if football and basketball contracts will be separated next
Big12 guy 03/09/23 01:37 PM ET
That's the idea because apparently TBS is only looking for basketball
HOO86 03/09/23 01:44 PM ET
Maybe the ACC should talk to TBS about replacing the RSNs

Apparently there is some basketball not included in that.
