Not to mention any ACCN money is temporary

Just amazing adding poor west coast football schools has gotten this far. We have reached rock bottom this summer. If getting a few more million dollars is that important you can make many more millions by aligning the top 12 schools (75% vote) going forward. Starts with getting valuations for a contract sans BC, Wake, and Syracuse/Louisville. ND would have to vote with others to keep a home for their other sports. Keep 2036 GOR and potentially target the best 5 from Big12 when their GOR is up (2031, I think). Raiding Big12 may not be possible or needed but you could create the best basketball conference with good football as well. Clear #3.

One small detail overlooked? The money hasn't been made yet. ESPN uses

I agree with that, and it doesn't discount my statement

You believe that USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington will be a big turn-off

This is all anecdotal, so take it with some healthy skepticism...

We can all understand your concept of a Big Ten Cult. I def get it.
33laszlo99 08/17/23 03:57 PM ET
Vienna’s the one with the “Big 10 cult” idea.
mancunian 08/17/23 04:06 PM ET
We are soon to find out about National vs. Regional. Expensive experiment.**

The BIG is a midwest cult, many of my friends there became less BIG Fans..

I don't think adding Cal and Stanford is the answer, but looking

If the top 3 or 4 leave, it's not the ACC anymore except in name

What if the story said this?
Maroon Baboon 08/17/23 08:13 AM ET
I wouldn't be surprised that the ACC allowed the contracts to be written
reestuart 08/17/23 12:58 PM ET
Yep. Looks like a contradiction.**
33laszlo99 08/17/23 09:28 AM ET
In all honesty though, FSU has already kinda said this. LOL.**
