It is possible that F$U breaks away, paying significantly but less than

full GOR and the rest of the conference stays intact. THEN the ACC schools plow their share of the payouts into their revenue programs. THEN SMU becomes a real revelation in revenue sports (remember here that the media rights money is not that big a factor to them. They have money. They need opportunity). THEN NIL changes the playing field in unforeseen ways relative to the P2. THEN the ACC starts becoming a whole lot more competitive and gets rewarded in 2036. In the meantime, F$U is having to deal with the costly divorce, and reduced payouts from the B1G, which is really its presumptive landing spot. I don’t see the B1G letting F$U having their version of the LHN as they said they were exploring, by the way.

Might seem more stable *right now* but it doesn’t have the better brands.

Well - one thing you can say about the BigXII - they are used to it.

They're stable because they have nothing the P2 wants.**

Big XII teams won't be interested until their new GOR ends.
