I didn't like the Houston add, but

at the time, the B12 was hanging on by a thread. The Cincy add was suspect as well, but both Houston and Cincy have a decent basketball history. I did like the UCF add, they have potential to be a force if they can find the money. BYU was a no brainer, and should have been in a power conference decades ago.

I think the ACC might get predatory again in future (depending on DC law)

The ACC is prepared to take some hits around 2030.

Well, of course a school in Memphis' situation wants in, not out.

With respect, they did not offer the ACC any money. **

You mean that we know of. I assume that they would make the same offer-

There may have been other factors that influenced the Big XII's decision
VTHokie2000 • 07/16/26 04:54 PM ET
I don't disagree with you on the concept of rivalries being important.
Baltimore_Hokie • 07/17/26 10:16 AM ET
I agree with you that WVU should have been at the top of the ACC's list.
VTHokie2000 • 07/20/26 05:26 PM ET
I think the B12 passed on SMU only
