If they were to get in they would be touted as 2 of the....
best athletic departments in the country. đŸ¤Ŗ

Maybe Stanford can buy out Wake for a spot.
What would it take?

Now that is interesting. Many on here have guessed what it would cost FSU
to leave the conference - could Stanford buy them out?

Shoulda spent the money to keep the A's in Oakland.
Just look at what they destroyed to build "Mount Davis" for the Raiders, who left anyway. RIP Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. And s/o to the Swingin' A's for one of the coolest MLB patch logos ever.

It's sourced from "F.A. Kenews".
He literally gives it away and people are still taking it seriously.

Yeah just read some of his other posts
Dude makes up all kinds of B.S. and is completely U of Washington biased.

Badly Sourced
No KIMO, it is KOMO. East of Seattle is just suburbs. No East Seattle. One would think the source would be in SF or LA.

Telling you. Big10 will take cal/stan eventually at next to no payout for
The first SEVERAL years.

I agree
I dont know the best move for the ACC- but I think at some point the B1G takes Cal/Stanford if they are still available. And that will mean two (more) spots in the B1G that wont go to ACC schools (should the League implode).

Seems like we should let them into the ACC then.
At least we would get their buyout when they do join the B10.

And then go after 3 southern ACC teams, then force ND’s hand to join.

Barring something totally.......
unforeseen the ACC is unlikely to ever be in the position to force ND's hand to join the league. The reality of ND independence or having their hand forced to join ANY conference hinges on 2 or 3 things. First and foremost, a TV partner willing to pay an amount ND deems sufficient to allow them to compete. Second, reasonable, if not easy, access to the football playoff. Third, a viable conference home or scheduling outlet for all sports other than football. Up to this point none of the parties capable of forcing ND's hand have shown that willingness. If that day ever does come, the decision on a landing spot will hinge on the combination of money first and power a close second.

2050: the B10 is at 42 teams and ND still won't join.
Just one more should do it. We are adding Wake, now ND has to join!

But California is already in the B1G with USC and UCLA

Don’t be surprised spending tax dollars means nothing there*

What is another.....
handout of California taxpayer money? They've given it to everybody else, why not the BIG?

This wouldn’t be shocking, getting in the B1G is the end game for Stanford
and Cal, expect them to try to get Notre Dame too. The ACC was just a parking place for them, and many knew it IMHO.

Sadly, it's believable
no idea if it's truth or satire.

Sounds entirely plausible.
Just think about how much money in tax breaks and stadium subsidies that local governments spend on getting a professional sports team to move to their city. This really isn't any different.
