Yep, once one conference is left, the Big 10 and SEC will ease them out.

In order to keep cultures, rivalries, and a geographic fit, the ACC and Big 12 should stay separate. They could go in together on negotiating a shared tv media contract and scheduling agreement for football only. So why 2 conferences instead of 1? They won't be able to match the Big 10 and SEC in brands, but they will have strength in numbers and two votes on all matters since separate. Though the Big 12 and they won't like it, but maybe trade Cal, Stanford, and SMU to the Big 12 and West Virginia, Cincy, and UCF to the ACC for geography reasons.

Easier said than done, particularly in the Big XII.

Even if the GOR and media contract remains in tact until 2036, will all the

That’s a valid question.
RandomAsianGuy • 07/03/25 12:48 PM ET
Do the exit fees still apply if the school departs after the GOR expires
VTHokie2000 • 07/03/25 12:54 PM ET
Not sure. But most actions will happen around 2030 in my opinion. **

Yeah, that looks like when the 💩 will hit the fan. **
