I do not dispute that.....

Yormark has run circles around Phillips so far from a marketing and promotion standpoint nor do I dispute QCP's data accumulation. However, the SRS for conferences is a lot like the RPI and that SOS becomes somewhat of a self fulfilling prophecy. It is akin to the B1G and their perpetual fold in the NCAA tourney every year after being overrated and over seeded. The ACC's on field has been dismal, however, to date it's revenue has held solid. Perhaps if the Big 12 can ever win an actual championship or maybe perform as more than a playoff punching bag their argument will improve in the future. Texas Tech and Cody Campbell are doing their part but, the rest are TBD no matter how much bluster Big 12 Interlopers to the TSL boards might contend otherwise. To be clear, a combination of the best of the ACC and the Big 12 is the best possibility to compete with the current P2 but, how that combination comes about is the question yet to be answered.

Why *leave? Media money is restricted, big donor NIL $ is not. SMU 0 media$

Several reasons, none of which are strictly about money:

Some good points, but Vandy and SMU paradigm shift is significant, the big

I'm not sure what "paradigm shift" you're talking about here.

SMU made the playoff last year, Vandy beat Bama last year, UVA remarkable

SMU made the playoff last year, Vandy has beaten Bama and other SEC teams

Sorry, I must have missed the part where I was disrespectful to you.

All valid points.....

Here's my take on that-

You might be right,......

Would it be safe to say or maybe IMO the ACC

I do not dispute that.....

I think you're spot on about the ACC looking more like the Big East.

The only way the B12 becomes attractive to any ACC

I think if it happens, it will just happen. The impetus will be-

I don't think so. The ACC could lose Clemson and FSU, and remain
Big12 guy 11/10/25 12:16 PM ET
Less than zero chance that ND continues its partnership if FSU/Clemson go.
Baltimore_Hokie 11/10/25 12:22 PM ET
I agree with both you and 2hhoop3, **
