Predict where schools would go in this hypothetical scenario (B1G/SEC/Mag7)

What if a back channel deal was struck between the B1G, SEC and Mag 7 that would make all parties happy. First assume these stipulations. 1. All of the Mag 7 were all acceptable to the P2. 2. 8 votes are needed to dissolve the ACC (but vote must happen before Cal, Stanford and SMU join). 3. FSU insists on going to the B1G. 4. SEC insists on having UNC, and UNC is fine with that. 5. ND is a NO vote and will stay independent no matter what. 6. No other ACC school will vote YES unless it has a P2 invite. One more ACC school (not ND) would need to be added to the deal. This school would have to be acceptable to at least one of the two P2s. 1. If the above were to occur, what would be the 8th ACC team to make it the Mag 8? 2. Where would the other 6 members of the Mag 8 land along with FSU to the B1G and UNC to the SEC. By the way, it does not have to be an even 4 and 4 split, but I assume that makes more sense. Anyway, have at it.

I would think Duke or GT is the 8th

Thanks. And solid answer.

Yep I went back and forth on Miami
HwoodHokie 03/30/24 01:36 PM ET
I'm also thinking that the SEC might not want to give over that recruiting
Maroon Baboon 03/30/24 01:41 PM ET
B1G and SEC will expand
INSIDE99 03/30/24 01:32 AM ET
Will any current P2 teams get "kicked"?
Diehard Hokie 03/30/24 08:08 AM ET
Never heard that one
INSIDE99 03/30/24 01:15 PM ET
Not in the near term, and probably not in the intermediate term...
EDGEMAN 03/30/24 09:03 AM ET
keep in mind that ESPN could decide tomorrow not to extend

Could you envision Syracuse in The PAC? Not likely. Not impossible.

They may, but that wouldn’t make much sense

The GOR and the ESPN contract are two separate contracts. If ESPN chooses
wwhokie1 03/29/24 09:44 PM ET
the purpose of the GOR is to carry out the ESPN contract
daveinop 03/30/24 01:57 PM ET
They are still separate contracts. Ending one does not end the
wwhokie1 03/30/24 02:44 PM ET
totally get your point but
daveinop 03/30/24 05:02 PM ET
But a serious cut in funding could either be a way to break the contract...

Which schools are you assuming are in the Mag-7?**
tarheelblue 03/29/24 08:11 PM ET
UNC, FSU, NCSt, Mia, VT, UVa, Clemson
Maroon Baboon 03/29/24 08:16 PM ET
So what happens to the ACC auto bids to the playoffs/NCAAs & bowl tie ins?
Marooned 03/29/24 09:43 PM ET
Lose it
GALOISGROUP 04/01/24 01:50 PM ET
Georgia Tech or Duke might get some interest from the B1G
tarheelblue 03/29/24 08:18 PM ET
No P2 league is taking on a 30k seat football stadium with ~15k attendance**
hokieZ71 03/29/24 09:38 PM ET
Duke's football stadium capacity is 40k, which is more than Vanderbilt
tarheelblue 03/29/24 09:51 PM ET
If Vanderbilt was on the outside now, they would never get invited in. **
wwhokie1 03/30/24 02:52 PM ET
Maybe. But Vandy and Northwestern have staked safe haven…
