You aren't wrong

MAG7 successfully breakaway from ACC (huge assumption). Consultants can then show say Florida, Georgia, Penn State (to 10 schools) or maybe also Maryland/WVU ( to 12 schools)...that they will not take a pay cut, then nothing is off the table. Remember this ....Florida, PSU, UGA would not only accrete shares to the new entity- they take away from their old friends deals. Long long long shot- with lots of hurdles- but I do believe it would financially work. Like you said, the alternative for those schools is to be in super large unwieldly conferences- the traditions they originally signed up for have already been eroded and will continue to be, so it isnt as big an emotional leap as it would have been a decade or two ago.

My ideal scenario, but it won't happen.

You're sniffing glue. UT and UF will NEVER leave the SEC.
KeithHokie89 • 05/16/23 12:35 PM ET
Why not? If the conference could bring in equivalent money, then money

He’s on something much stronger than glue……**
RJHokie • 05/16/23 12:37 PM ET
I doubt UF and UT would ever entertain leaving the SEC
Victor Tango • 05/16/23 11:43 AM ET
Would be better than the current situation, but still not good enough

I dunno - it has some big names

Is there a 10-team rule for Championship games?

You aren't wrong ◄
Vippie1 • 05/16/23 11:36 AM ET
I kind of agree. 50-50 on this.

Another possibility is we’ve reached “peak football.” Some high schools

We may be the exception out here in Katy, TX - apologies if I repeat
ValveHokie • 05/16/23 11:23 AM ET
That’s correct. Katy’s an exception. **

Youth football numbers are down...that will have an effect**
Tuckahokie • 05/16/23 10:05 AM ET
i feel it has demographics going against it
MrBayAreaHokie • 05/16/23 10:03 AM ET
Add into that demographic…..
CrystalCoveHokie • 05/16/23 10:15 AM ET
NE to South migration is the demographic the MAG7 is chasing, IMO.

B1G can’t satisfy coast-to-coast members long-term
Colonel Jessup • 05/16/23 09:47 AM ET
Exactly, the BIG is unsustainable, so this is not the end of all this

I'd be curious to know if Bezos has interest

Justin Berkley • 05/16/23 10:07 AM ET
You're right
Millpoint • 05/16/23 09:42 AM ET
Nobody in their right mind is going to voluntarily leave the SEC/B10**
HokieNoVA • 05/16/23 09:28 AM ET
If the money is equal they might. Plus, there are other reasons.
wwhokie1 • 05/16/23 09:49 AM ET
there is really no such thing as guaranteed money

My hope is that B1G and SEC meet the same fate as the WAC circa 1998**
