Sorry I'm a bit tired of debating with B12 fans.

No offense, but I have a firm view and don't want to rehash the same arguments. If you're interested, read my article from May 2025, when every pundit speculated that FSU and Clemson's departure was imminent and ESPN might drop the ACC contract. The bottom line of the article is: "The ONLY scenario where the ACC loses schools to the Big 12 is if 1) the ACC loses many high-profile schools, and 2) the ACC couldn't find a media partner." Since ESPN has renewed the ACC contract, there is zero chance that any ACC school will leave for the Big 12 before 2036. On the other hand, there's a high chance that some Big 12 schools join the ACC around 2030.

Article that expounds on Yormark's comments. Doesn't add much. (Link)

The ACC and the B12 are doomed either way
RandomAsianGuy • 07/09/25 12:31 PM ET
Wouldn't the ACC have had three last year with 5-11?

True but they will change the criteria to make sure that won’t happen. **
