Haha Cliff Notes inside.

In the last week, it has been reported that the ACC will reconfigure, probably meaning several schools will leave in the near future, yet they just met with the NCAA President and the SEC, B!G and B12 Commissioners. The two things seem at odds. Can they both be true? My "theory" the Mag 7 are leaving for the P2. Louisville is probably leaving for the B12. The ACC survives by taking the aforementioned schools (UConn, USF, Rice, Tulane and maybe San Diego State and Oregon State). The ACC and Big 12 use most of their NIL Money for basketball to get teams in the Sweet 16. Why? Because they will expand the tournament to pay for non revenue sports with the early games, but tons of money will be paid out to the Sweet 16 participants, just like they do with the football playoff money. The ACC will want Academic schools for expansion, more like the Big 10, but the Big 12 will not care as much about that and they will be more like the SEC. Just get me good sports schools, and then our academic standards will rise with out success on the playing field. That's one theory where both could be true, now is there another one?

It’s not the P2 driving the Bus, unless you mean ESPN and Fox, the SEC/B1G

Surely Does All Depend on ESPN & FOX Pay-Outs**

I think an Academic Conference would look at the Academies before
Sunsetunderground 06/25/24 02:18 PM ET
Academies don't do enough research.**

They also don't have much potential in basketball after thinking about it,
Stech 06/25/24 04:42 PM ET
If you look at Athletic Dept Revenue

I am thinking more potential with Tulane and Rice, they’re in big cities &
Stech 06/25/24 10:01 PM ET
It just takes a good coach and the abillty to keep the coach
HOO86 06/26/24 05:39 PM ET

I prefer the traditional name, the MAG7
Truthahn 06/26/24 10:05 AM ET
But keep the Mag7 name even when adding more teams to be taken seriously.

UVA just invested like $70 million in a new football facility
Sunsetunderground 06/25/24 03:07 PM ET
But that would mean UVA would have to start playing football.**

You are assuming the post is referring to American football and not the
VTHokie2000 06/25/24 06:35 PM ET
It's going to take a lot more than $70M to make UVA relevant in football...

I agree. They would be Vanderbilt in the SEC. But they are apart of

Always For Well Over a Year Now Thought That 2026 Would Be Soonest Any ACC
