1) the last battleground between the Big 10 and SEC is Virginia/North Carolina. Do they divide it up like a half-assed Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, or does one conference snatch it all up? 2) ND will never join a conference for football. They're getting enough dough going forward, they have playoff access, its over. If the ACC falls apart some other conference (BE, Big 12) will give them the same kind of deal. In retrospect the ACC's experience with ND is like a guy who dates a stripper, "she'll change for me man, I know it." No she won't. 3) The SEC won't offer any ACC team in their current footprint. The Big 10 has a lot of mouths to feed already, which leads to...see #4. 4) The Big 10 and SEC eventually jettison their weaker members. I could see the Big 10 in particular doing this as they have no discernible ethics or conscience. ** Edited by mancunian at 12/11/2023, 10:23:57 AM
