Stech • 07/31/24 12:20 AM ET
They will do nothing. SEC and Big X are not interested at the moment

The B12 is in no position to "take" FSU or Clemson. The money is not

You’re predicting more ACC lawsuits r coming, even though FSU & Clemson’s

Maybe. Phillips has demonstrated he will go to the mat to retain the

Maybe the B12 🏈 ratings go down w/o Texas and Oklahoma?
Stech • 08/01/24 01:09 PM ET
Worst case for the B12. FSU/CU stay in the ACC, ESPN ups
Big12 guy • 08/01/24 01:39 PM ET
All good points IMHO.**

How “locked in” are these new members relative to the existing ones?

They have signed the same GOR that all the other ACC schools have signed**

I'm still not sure about Cal and Stanford

Teams that don't play on both coasts every year are clearly inferior.
Truthahn • 08/02/24 05:07 PM ET
Isn't Stanford's endowment 30x more than SMUs?
Sunsetunderground • 07/31/24 12:24 PM ET
The problem is ROI
PFHokie • 08/01/24 11:14 AM ET
18X.... Stanford ($36.5B) SMU ($2.04B)**

FSU is leaving the ACC, one way or another, sooner or later.

I think you're mostly right.

Yes, FSU will leave. But only when it becomes cost effective. That may be

Yep. Like I said.

My preference is either they leave soon and pay a lot of money so

I don't think the ACC has a choice. Buy another 10 years, or fold now. **

Not much on the ACCN either. The ACC needs to turn things around now.
