B1G needs them. SEC doesn't. Re VA/NC, why pull ACC?

We have that pesky exit fee and GoR until 2036. Virginia: go after ODU, George Mason, Richmond, Liberty, JMU, W&M, or VCU North Carolina: go after ECU, or Charlotte, etc. Many of these schools already compete well. And obviously, with B1G/SEC monies, they will get even better. And this will serve to further dilute the ACC. That will weaken them at the next look in, negotiation, etc. We, the ACC, is already considering doing the same with SMU, Tulane, and South Florida. And Connecticut is still on the board. And regarding giving FSU/ND extra money. Never, they will take it and still leave. I'll go back to lurking now, since I am an unknown (undesirable) here. 🤣👍

Big10 and SEC would never add any of those

None of those schools bring Virginia or NC

I disagree strongly.
FrederickHokie • 08/12/23 06:21 PM ET
The B1G would never take ECU or ODU. **

As the ACC weakens, and becomes mid-major tier ...
FrederickHokie • 08/12/23 09:11 PM ET
ODU will never look good to the B1G.**

Sankey Made a Statement About Expansion Last Week

I assume OU is staying in the XII for wrestling since Mizzou did.
Maroon Baboon • 08/12/23 02:53 PM ET
Yes, I think some of the sports could be developed inside the SEC.

Duke wrestling seems to be on the edge of dying at this point**

The SEC doesn't want them. The B1G does, bad. And that's why the SEC will

It’s a turf war.

If one VA and NC school goes to B1G and the other two to the SEC, it would
Maroon Baboon • 08/12/23 02:02 PM ET
One would think that.
