The ACC had originally targeted OREGON, WASHINGTON, Stanford and Cal

Not getting Utah, both AZ schools with Stan and Cal was mistake. If possibl**
MrFantastic! • 04/23/25 10:38 AM ET
Arizona really wanted to be in the B12, even before the PAC was in
Big12 guy • 04/23/25 12:00 PM ET
and I targeted Brook Shields as a gf, when I was in high school LOL**
MrBayAreaHokie • 04/22/25 04:50 PM ET
I assumed they were invited to keep them from the ACC, mostly.
Truthahn • 04/22/25 11:10 AM ET
I don't follow
Pylons • 04/23/25 11:48 AM ET
If Oregon was in the ACC last year ...
Truthahn • 04/23/25 12:34 PM ET
No differently than they felt about USC and UCLA with Oregon in the B1G
Pylons • 04/23/25 12:51 PM ET
Its probably been a LONG time since the B10 felt threatened by the ACC.
HokieNoVA • 04/23/25 10:06 AM ET
It is interesting that neither P2 has touched the Rockies and Southwest.
Maroon Baboon • 04/23/25 09:46 AM ET
They will not dilute their payouts no matter how much sense it makes. **
Big12 guy • 04/23/25 09:52 AM ET
I doubt the Big Ten ever considered that as an issue. The bigger risk

The next dominoes.....
2hhoop3 • 04/22/25 02:11 PM ET
You might be right. I've seen that theory before.**
RandomAsianGuy • 04/22/25 12:59 PM ET
Do you remember Kevin Warren’s epic grandstanding speech about equity, then
Maroon Baboon • 04/21/25 09:53 PM ET
Warren thought he would bag ND after getting USC
TerryD • 04/22/25 11:10 PM ET
The latest is that USC's schedule will become so tough in the B1G that they
Maroon Baboon • 04/23/25 12:08 AM ET
Yep, he said that ND was "on the clock" and would join by October, 2022
TerryD • 04/23/25 07:36 AM ET
It's like the Coyote and the Roadrunner.
Maroon Baboon • 04/23/25 09:34 AM ET
And the ACC is Slowpoke Rodriguez.**
Truthahn • 04/25/25 01:38 PM ET
Accurate 😭**
Maroon Baboon • 04/25/25 03:01 PM ET
The Big Ten should have not rejected ND in 1908, 1909 and 1924
TerryD • 04/23/25 06:27 PM ET
LOL. That is grudge I can respect.** ◄
Truthahn • 04/25/25 01:39 PM ET
IMO ND's position......
2hhoop3 • 04/23/25 07:51 AM ET
ND is in a position to remain indy indefinitely...

That boat was never built
TerryD • 04/25/25 09:54 AM ET
The Big 10 leadership is beneath contempt.**
mancunian • 04/22/25 02:22 PM ET
And Phillips foolishly signed up for the "ALLIANCE". Never trust the B10.**

ancient alien 2018 • 04/23/25 12:17 AM ET
I agree with everyone below. The academic side complicated everything
HokieAl • 04/22/25 03:52 PM ET
The alliance not letting the BigXII be part of it was beyond petty.
Maroon Baboon • 04/22/25 03:18 PM ET
I do not believe.....
2hhoop3 • 04/22/25 03:52 PM ET
I like this take. The B12 was considered broken back then.
Truthahn • 04/25/25 02:18 PM ET
My personal opinion
RandomAsianGuy • 04/22/25 02:02 PM ET
It only took a couple of months to see that Alliance was not serious.
Truthahn • 04/25/25 02:10 PM ET
The B1G used the......
2hhoop3 • 04/22/25 02:49 PM ET
Well, I disagree. The Pac-12's demise had an impact on the ACC.
RandomAsianGuy • 04/22/25 05:43 PM ET
I acknowledged the......
2hhoop3 • 04/22/25 06:47 PM ET
No the Pac 12 would still lose schools to the B10.
RandomAsianGuy • 04/22/25 10:55 PM ET
I see it differently........
2hhoop3 • 04/23/25 07:14 AM ET
Not sure I am following you.
RandomAsianGuy • 04/23/25 01:02 PM ET
You think Oregon and UW......
2hhoop3 • 04/23/25 01:22 PM ET
Umm…the B10 took away USC and UCLA when the Pac 12 was viable.
RandomAsianGuy • 04/23/25 01:34 PM ET
Actually it was already imploding.......
2hhoop3 • 04/23/25 01:38 PM ET
Something i can wholeheartedly agree with. The PAC
Big12 guy • 04/22/25 02:48 PM ET
The ACC lost its academic cred when it added Louisville.**
Hokester • 04/23/25 07:44 AM ET
What about Memphis? Memphis should be a good fit for the B12.
RandomAsianGuy • 04/22/25 05:59 PM ET
Which ever conference that has a need to backfill will consider them, but
Big12 guy • 04/22/25 07:55 PM ET
I like Memphis. Memphis has good fan support and are good in
HouClone • 04/22/25 07:23 PM ET
Okay got it, thanks!**

The ACC has made a few major strategic mistakes. Not being able to get

What Oregon and UW realized.....
2hhoop3 • 04/21/25 08:09 PM ET
Yeah, they knew they had options. They could have kept the P12 alive and
reestuart • 04/22/25 08:50 AM ET
The future for the ACC is completely tied to the
Big12 guy • 04/21/25 08:03 PM ET
Agreed, and upon the P2 adopting "uneven" as well.
Truthahn • 04/22/25 11:01 AM ET
I agree with this. If the uneven distribution system is
Big12 guy • 04/22/25 01:21 PM ET
Continually re-evaluated and based upon attractiveness and value
Truthahn • 04/22/25 02:04 PM ET
maybe, but personally, I like the B12 without Texas much better. **
Big12 guy • 04/22/25 02:15 PM ET
That has a finite life, so the future is not completely tied to it...lol**
EDGEMAN • 04/22/25 09:56 AM ET
You can say the present is completely tied to it.**
