Always For Well Over a Year Now Thought That 2026 Would Be Soonest Any ACC

team played a game in the SEC. I read a big thread on a UVA board that had UNC fans stating they knew UNC Insiders that said UNC would be playing an SEC schedule in football in 2026. When the FSU attorneys looked at the ACC TV Contract with ESPN and declared ESPN had an option to cancel the ACC TV Contract on June 30, 2027. It all became crystal clear to me. I don't think FSU or any ACC school is playing in the SEC or B1G until 2026. ESPN would not have to make much compensation to the ACC left-overs with that being just one year. However if FSU just had to get out of the ACC by the 2025 football season. I could see that as something that might cause the type negotiations you suggest. Who knows though if that Composition Clause actually exists? That clause being brought into a reality could bring a quick end to all this. I don't think ESPN would worry much about lawsuits with that bevy of Attorneys that Disney keeps on retainer.

It’s not the P2 driving the Bus, unless you mean ESPN and Fox, the SEC/B1G

Surely Does All Depend on ESPN & FOX Pay-Outs**

I think an Academic Conference would look at the Academies before
Sunsetunderground • 06/25/24 02:18 PM ET
Academies don't do enough research.**

They also don't have much potential in basketball after thinking about it,

I prefer the traditional name, the MAG7
Truthahn • 06/26/24 10:05 AM ET
But keep the Mag7 name even when adding more teams to be taken seriously.

UVA just invested like $70 million in a new football facility
Sunsetunderground • 06/25/24 03:07 PM ET
But that would mean UVA would have to start playing football.**

You are assuming the post is referring to American football and not the
VTHokie2000 • 06/25/24 06:35 PM ET
It's going to take a lot more than $70M to make UVA relevant in football...

I agree. They would be Vanderbilt in the SEC. But they are apart of
