Accumulating small fanbases in remote areas

creating no logical footprint is a poor strategy for survival, IMO. You will have to pay these schools full shares before you know it and go to the negotiating table with these anchors. Looking at B12 post their agreement would be a better strategy. WVU, Cincy, and going west some into Texas perhaps. But definitely not poor draws in Cali. Does it matter the ACC survives due to sheer numbers in the future? This isn’t the “ACC” at all. Who is fighting for that other than schools who feel lucky to be in it?
