The SEC and the BIG have run the numbers…

if either conference wanted to pick off any of the current ACC members, it would have happened by now. They have maximized the payouts to their members and covered the major tv markets from coast to coast. It’s not about academics or AAU membership. It’s all about football. Miami’s glory days are behind them and FSU is not Bobby Bowden’s FSU. Clemson might very well lose Dabo to Alabama when Saban retires. It’s not membership numbers the Big 2 are after. It’s revenue that incrementally adds to the pot in excess of the current per member payout. I suggest we catch our collective breath and let this play out. The rumor mill will continue, but I personally am not buying it.

I might argue that Oklahoma is not worth $80M in TV revenue

I value the matchups but the conferences do not.

Matchups and markets are not mutually exclusive.

The ACC is secure for at least 10 years IMO. ND is the only one that can
