...the SEC, then drop the ACCN (or make it a 3rd SECN channel)?

The 96 team tournament, the first rounds until Dynamic Dozen will go to the NCAA to pay for mainly non-revenue sports, but the Dynamic Dozen is going to be paid out like the 🏈 playoff 12. Huge money to the schools and and lesser degree the Conferences.

playing Florida would probably pull eyeballs in basketball and decent in football. Deep South schools travel everywhere for games and certainly watch on TV.

They probably have better ratings then half of acc at least, and in the top 3 or 4 in hoops without a doubt

They wouldn't have much to complain about then. SEC might even take them to get access to everyone else in the ACC.

The reason the ACC has a terrible deal.

Bama, Georgia, uva, unc, vmi, Washington and Lee were all in a conference together. I think at its peak there were 28 teams in the old SoCon, but my memory may be flawed

you could be right but, a total of 34 schools were members at one time including names like Elon, Sewanee, Richmond, East Carolina and App State. Of course, it spawned the SEC and then the ACC in 1953. The history is interesting.

Maybe instead of the Southeast Conference. They get to keep the initials they are known by as a Conference.

That a conference, it's more of a league. Add two more teams to make 32. Then split your league into four, eight team conferences. At the end of the season, have a four team playoff, the winner plays the big 10 champion for the national championship.

Flutie wasn't discovered yet, but was playing. It was an amazing atmosphere, off the chart!! The good thing about the northeast schools for the deep south schools, is they have direct flights into the cities and they will take them too.

with us. Syracuse basketball would be a big draw for a lot of schools. BC needs the right coach in football, they were one of our toughest rivals when we both first went to the ACC.

all of a sudden give the entire ACC a $30M raise do you?
keep in mind, the SEC has Texas - and they will not stand for it, and I can not see a majority of SEC schools voting for a merger either.
I know some of my proposals are off the reservation, but to cabbage on to this rumor is a bit much.

29-game round robin schedule. Who says no?

Required to break the GOR. Would make sense, if they wait until the GOR expires then they will be fighting the big 10 over pieces of the ACC. And ESPN will lose some of those fights. With the big 10 taking over the west coast, the SEC would be smart to make it move on the east coast. They have the advantage of ownership of the ACC network. If ESPN works with the SEC, they can take whatever they want of the ACC. But they'll have to probably take a few pieces They're not as interested in to make it happen. Of course, these rumors could be nothing more than rumors.

would be a good acquisition for the SEC.
BTW, the NCAA already voted for basketball expansion, it is just up for how they do it. That's why the B12 is talking to Gonzaga and UConn.

It would then make sense for ESPN to push the ACC to add UConn and Temple to the mix to merge in with the ACC and SEC. I would think they would want to lock down the Philly market as much as they can with Temple. They have also proven they can complete in football if they could somehow protect their coaches from being poached.
This would be for basketball. There is still room to increase basketball strength in that eastern corridor.
