There isn't one single ACC team that would go to the B12 while the ACC

is in its current configuration. Every single ACC team would jump at the P2 in a heartbeat. I don't see ESPN giving the kind of contract to the ACC that would keep FSU and Clemson happy, nor entice ND to join, so from where I'm sitting, it's just a matter of time. Like Arizona State and Utah, that wanted nothing to do with the B12, if the top teams of the ACC leave, the phones will be ringing. BTW, those are some pretty good academic schools, and some decent markets - and they were not invited to the P2. It's not a matter of what the B12 wants, or not. It all comes down to what the P2 wants, or not. The B12 is NOT poaching schools, the B12 was the last resort for all of the additions that have been made after Texas and Oklahoma announced their departure. The ACC did not want WVU, UCF, Houston, and apparently, they did not want the 4 corners either. UConn is a no brainer for the ACC, but you guys continue to pass on them as well. Frankly, I hope they come to the B12.

I don't get what you are saying, do you mind explaining?**

Boo was on the CFP committee that screwed FSU

IMHO as i stated in another post, we don't know what Boo & jim Grobe stated
Stech 12/06/23 11:03 AM ET
true. But if NCSU is eventually left behind, then that might be the reason.**

The B12 guys here don't want it, but I think the Mag 7+1 are P2 bound, the

as a Clemson alum, I want the B1G over the SEC/ESPN

Now that answer surprises me, but I understand why you think that way. That

It's not a matter of wanting it or not. I just don't
Big12 guy 12/06/23 11:52 AM ET
My point is that I think the B12 would like some of the Mag 7, without

Assuming the P2s decide to participate in this proposed new DI subdivision

Good questions, IMHO it’s going to be really tough to afford pay athletes
Stech 12/06/23 08:20 PM ET
I agree with you that all 4 are probably for it. However, I think we can
VTHokie2000 12/06/23 08:40 PM ET
All 4 in a P2 would go from 40 million to about $80 million in media money.
Stech 12/06/23 09:07 PM ET
I get that the money will be going up. What isn't clear to me is how
VTHokie2000 12/06/23 09:17 PM ET
They may have a ramp up, but eventually lik Oregon & Washington it’s better
Stech 12/06/23 09:24 PM ET
The P2 sub division will be desired by all four

I guess we'll see if both schools have deep enough pockets to cover the
