    Correct. ACC as we know it is done following the 2026-27 school year. SEC, B1G and Big XII to 24-ish teams beginning in Fall 2027

    My man would fit right with the butt-hurt Nole morons who actually "think" FSU is going to the B1G. Here's ESPN Pete Thamel 18 months ago on the GameDay podcast: "I would think the SEC would be happy to sit at 16 for a while because they really like their footprint. There's enough intimacy...

    Once the SEC/B1G/Big XII begin the process within the next 14 months of stripping the ACC for parts, Yormark's conference will be firmly established as the unquestioned junior partner to the P2. How much Yormark media money can squeeze out the arrangement is TBD, but for sure there will still...

    SEC + BIG ------------- Big XII + back-filled ACC or SEC + BIG ------------- Super-sized Big XII P2 and second-class status, imo. We should expect every program in "Tier 2" conferences to fully-fund NIL with similar spending on football and men's basketball as the SEC and B1G schools. The...

    ??? So the exit penalties will be repurposed to prevent a reduction in the ACC media rights deal after its top brands evacuate to the SEC or B1G? Sounds like a good deal for ESPN

    Upon ACC dissolution (best guess = Summer of 2027), Canes end up: 1. B1G: 80% (FOX and Petitti jam this one through in tandem with the Big Ten's "White Whale" in South Bend, Ind.) 2. SEC: 10% (probably too high, but I'm holding out hope regardless) 3. Big XII: 10% (Ohio State, Michigan, Penn...

    Great posts tOCC. I've been on the ACC to SEC mass migration train for a couple years now. My 2 cents on repeat: 1. The eight schools you mentioned (bold-faced above) are no doubt on Sankey's radar -- and I think it's very telling that even with the repeated UNC+UVA and FSU+Clemson...

    There was, is and always will be no chance FSU ends up in the B1G -- any analysis by YouTube gurus notwithstanding. On the other hand, what are the answers to questions that the decision-makers for the SEC, B1G and UM certainly have contemplated: 1) Would the SEC take Miami? 2) Would the B1G...

    Big XII absorbs Louisville, Pitt, Syracuse, BC and maybe SMU. ACC is either going out of business or piecing together some sort of discount bin reboot like what we're seeing with the Pac-2

    You could be right mi amigo. Time will tell. I tend to think we're behind both Duke and GA Tech in the SEC's pecking order — not with ESPN for sure, but in the minds of the 16 school presidents. 1) Atlanta > Miami (larger and much more centrally located) 2) Those other two schools are...

    Much better than the ACC Much worse then the SEC It's possible we'd be the only Big Ten school located in the Southeast, at which point we'd be the P2 travel equivalent of the University of Hawaii in the Mountain West

    You could be right, but just can’t see ND remaining in a depleted ACC and killing its strength of schedule for football. I don’t expect the SEC to stop at 20, either, and the list of candidates to go to 24-ish consists pretty much of ACC schools and West Virginia
