headed to the Dark Side. That's why they are alarmed. If you watched the grotesque speech by Kevin Warren at the media days last year, his message was clear: we are going to get ours, and to hell with everyone else (of course the sleezebag couched it in the language of equity. LOL). And that also meant that their athletes are going to make big coin as well. And when I say big coin, I mean beyond what the BigXII, ACC, Pac-12 and maybe even Notre Dame can keep up with. This is NOT the same Big Ten that Notre Dame could have joined 10 years or more ago. This is a different animal now. And if ND joins it down the road, it will be something ND never really wanted to be a part of. And the ACC and the B1G have next to nothing in common anymore. Remember the "Alliance"? It was all a ruse. Interestingly, the gullible ACC got stabbed in the back by the B1G and Notre Dame within months of one another. B1G for just blowing up the Alliance by poaching USC and UCLA. And Notre Dame for working for a 12-team playoff to suit themselves. Two massive Ls for the unwise ACC. So to answer your question, NO. I don't see the ACC being able to be a partner with the B1G in creating a new classification in college football. If anything, we have more in common with the BigXII now. But remember, the cool kids table said that the BigXII couldn't sit with us when we were forming the "Alliance." What a joke.
