Honestly have been thinking it for years, but I didn’t want to believe it.

The ACC has so much going for it, in every sport, but there is no denying the strong football schools from the Big East have gotten weaker. Florida State is much weaker than 20 years ago. Even Clemson has gone down the last 3 years. If every word out of ESPN’s mouth the last 10-15 years starts with SEC. Where do you think the best recruits are going? It’s a rhetorical question, we all know it’s the SEC. Heck even traditional national power Notre Dame, lost their coach, to the SEC. As painful as it is, it’s time to face the music.

I came to that realization over a year ago.

This is also why I think FSU and Clemson to SEC in the near term is a no go

I have been wondering about pro rata for both The SEC and The ACC.

The new Big Ten contracts list only ND by name and value

All true, but I think realignment is far from over.

they need to go back in time and punch Swofford and others in the face

I'm not seeing any evidence of that.

Merge BIG, PAC and ACC with 32 teams. 16 in each an East & West Division

The ACC needs to get smaller. Other than ND full membership, only option
