That's probably true, but if it is close, University Presidents like

associating with higher academic schools too. I think many fans underrate that for the University Presidents that vote on expansion.

ACC copied the B12 GOR, if the ACC GOR falls, look out Big 12. CBS 🔗 2023
Stech • 08/07/24 01:00 PM ET
Kind of a moot point since no one in the B12 has a place to go.
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/24 03:10 PM ET
Kansas, Arizona, Utah and even WVU might leave for the ACC. Presidents love
Stech • 08/07/24 03:17 PM ET
Utah & AZ maybe. KU & WVU much less likely.**
marcbvtgm • 08/07/24 06:55 PM ET
The ACC passed on WVU and Kansas. Arizona had the chance to go to the ACC,
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/24 03:39 PM ET
I believe Utah is angling for a Big10 invite
dayooper • 08/07/24 06:00 PM ET
Same could be said for Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Kansas, etc.
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/24 06:08 PM ET
AAU is meaningless. They'll take who will increase per school revenue.**
marcbvtgm • 08/07/24 06:57 PM ET
Do u have evidence that is the way it went down? I remember our Comish
Stech • 08/07/24 05:18 PM ET
It's all speculative, but I did read a story about how the ACC reached out
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/24 05:25 PM ET
Arizona, Arizona State, & Oregon State are
HOO86 • 08/07/24 06:49 PM ET
We never got the call. The B12 You Tubers were very active saying we would.**
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 05:57 PM ET
Did Utah ever sign the B12 GOR? IIRC, they were the last one that didn't.
Truthahn • 08/07/24 03:47 PM ET
They will wait until the contract is revealed. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 03:56 PM ET
Reality is that B12 has less desirable teams than the ACC**
winston-hoo • 08/07/24 02:26 PM ET
For the most part, I agree, but Kansas & Arizona in bball, & Utah & WVU in
Stech • 08/07/24 03:06 PM ET
Does KU bring more $$ to ACC members? Not likely. WVU? Not likely.**
marcbvtgm • 08/07/24 06:58 PM ET
KU if they expand the 🏀 tournament & pay the Sweet 16 like 🏈 playoff that
Stech • 08/07/24 08:03 PM ET
They would go if you guys had a contract paying $10 - $15M or so more
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 03:12 PM ET
Ya, the creme of those two should sign a post-2036 GOR together.
Truthahn • 08/07/24 03:56 PM ET
So you are saying there is a chance! :-)**
Stech • 08/07/24 03:27 PM ET
Haha, I've been in those shoes. Yes, this will work out fine. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 03:28 PM ET
The difference, at least for now, is the B12 doesn't have any
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 03:02 PM ET
Very few are going to play their cards about leaving until they can.
Stech • 08/07/24 03:10 PM ET
Whichever conference has the better media deal moving forward, will
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 03:13 PM ET
That's probably true, but if it is close, University Presidents like ◄
Stech • 08/07/24 03:31 PM ET
A school has to be invited though, ...... ours wasn't. **
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 03:34 PM ET
That’s our comish IMHO trying not to be a Conf Invader, he only went after
Stech • 08/07/24 05:12 PM ET
Ummm, i was talking about b12 schools being invited to another
Big12 guy • 08/07/24 05:53 PM ET
I kind of think the B12 would be ok with that
HokieAl • 08/07/24 02:02 PM ET
I’m not sure FSU and Clemson are trying to break the GoR
dayooper • 08/07/24 02:00 PM ET
I wouldn't be surprised if FSU wins that argument.
El Paso Hokie • 08/07/24 11:25 PM ET
They are making lots of arguments, hoping at least one sticks.
wwhokie1 • 08/07/24 02:51 PM ET
I find this argument to be the much weaker of the two
