If the ACC could pick off Okie State and maybe BYU, it would have a pretty
good portfolio of teams. Travel would get nastier. You would think that, with minimally competent management, the ACC should be viewed as a better destination than the B12.

The ACC is viewed as being held together with duct tape
and will fall apart when the GOR expires. Rather than trying to raid another conference, how about the ACC and B12 work together to create something NEW that would be mutually beneficial?

That's what the B1X proposed as cover to put a harpoon through the P-12...
Really don't think any conference trusts another these days.

It's not about trust, it's about how the two conference can make more money
The B12, ACC, and Big East have all but a few blue blood or brands in basketball. You can start there.

Not happening. No B12 teams are joining the ACC. Give it up.

w/o a network, they're vulnerable every time their GOR expires (2031?)

How did that work out for the Pac?

My question is how the hell does the payout for B12 teams = the amount
that ACC teams receive...especially without a conference network? Was it mostly based on tv viewership in regards to Texas and Oklahoma? Shouldn't those numbers drop significantly once those two schools go to the SEC? The teams the B12 brought in don't really move the numbers up drastically do they? And the ACC should be receiving more per team just because we do have the ACCN. Am I wrong or missing some vital information?

A conference is worth whatever some media company is willing to pay.
It was the unrealistic self-image of The PAC 12 that led to their demise. They saw themselves as worth much, much more than The Big 12. That opinion was not shared by any media company.

You think the Acc isn't talking to Big 12 teams?
