I'm not sure that a vote has to be unanimous in a conference, but

there will surely be schools that will not want to go the PE if a conference is considering it. Let Utah be Utah. If they have another place to land, then good for them. Currently, their choices are limited, as with any other school that does not get an invite to the P2. While the Big 10 could grow wherever the media companies want them too, and the NC, Florida, VA, GA, and Texas markets are very compelling, I just do not see many schools that bring the value to up their current contract, or raise it. Just my opinion. If the top schools in the ACC go to the P2, there certainly is some value of the top 4 or 5 remaining. Just how many schools do you think bring the value for such an invite?

Time is now for the University presidents to direct the Big12 and ACC to

Why would the Big 12 do this, ever?
Baltimore_Hokie • 01/07/25 11:51 AM ET
I'd be fine with our own own post-season tournament at this point.
Truthahn • 01/06/25 03:39 PM ET
Yes. Time for the nonP2 to go our own way**
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/06/25 04:20 PM ET
This. And our own basketball tournament, and our own
Big12 guy • 01/06/25 04:00 PM ET
No way
RandomAsianGuy • 01/05/25 09:02 PM ET
I agree with this, and it is probably the main reason the B12 exists today.**
Big12 guy • 01/06/25 05:45 PM ET
Yup
RandomAsianGuy • 01/06/25 06:17 PM ET
Well who do we have then?
lawhokie • 01/05/25 11:23 AM ET
Not a bad group. I would add Duke, Miami, BYU, and another Texas school.
tarheelblue • 01/05/25 08:12 PM ET
Right, I forgot Miami. 22 might be too big too fail haha. **
lawhokie • 01/06/25 06:32 PM ET
Something like that may be in the works.

PE, in my opinion, would have to be at a conference or league level to
Big12 guy • 01/05/25 08:26 AM ET
You make good points, guy, but I'll dispute a couple of them.
33laszlo99 • 01/05/25 10:38 AM ET
ND has already rejected the idea of PE for them**

ND's AD recently ruled out PE
TerryD • 01/05/25 10:11 AM ET
I don't see ND ever going to PE. The conference that they
Big12 guy • 01/05/25 11:08 AM ET
I don't see anyone doing it.
Pylons • 01/05/25 03:41 PM ET
PE are vultures. Whenever PE gets involved, bankruptcy often follows.
tarheelblue • 01/05/25 08:23 PM ET
ND wants no one else overseeing ND, except ND. period
1947Sunbowl • 01/05/25 01:36 PM ET
... and if the need arises, they can get whatever they want, I'm sure.**

Who actually holds the power on this topic?
HokieAl • 01/05/25 12:10 AM ET
Pushing peas around on the plate at this point.
Maroon Baboon • 01/04/25 09:44 PM ET
Because watering down the two conferences does what?
Vienna_Hokie • 01/04/25 08:47 PM ET
In the meantime, ......... reality is what it is. **
Big12 guy • 01/04/25 10:22 PM ET
No; dissolve and merge the best pieces
Tailgate Guru • 01/04/25 06:14 PM ET
I don't think so. Right now, the conference champions get an auto
Big12 guy • 01/04/25 03:06 PM ET
Not sure that really accomplishes anything.**
Pylons • 01/04/25 02:22 PM ET
Or Strike!**
VPI 1924 • 01/04/25 02:19 PM ET
That would mean the merged conference would only get half the playoff bids
EDGEMAN • 01/04/25 01:46 PM ET
Playoffs don't matter. Money matters
HokieAl • 01/04/25 04:59 PM ET
So how does a merged ACC/B12 make any more money per program?**
Pylons • 01/05/25 03:42 PM ET
How about no more than one auto-bid for the top 4 ranked conference...
