I think it's too early to tell. The west coast has been a dumpster fire for elite football since Pete Carrol left USC. The B1G setting up a presence across the country and getting all regions paid on the same level as the SEC or more gets the first chance for real parity in the sport that we've had since before media payouts exploded in the mid-2000s. The SEC has won like 16 or 17 of the last 20 national championships, and it's no wonder when they got all the money, in the talent rich states, and over hype from ESPN. I'm hopeful the new B1G can level the playing field once the dust settles, but they need a real southeast presence with a contingent of schools.

I agree with all of this, especially the last sentence. That's what we need to sell 'em on.

However, I'm gonna stick w/my prediction.

I can’t stand whack a$$ wake Forrest and and the schools that want to hold us hostage in this terrible agreement.

If 8 schools got together and left at the same time how would that help us / what would that do?

Why? You would do the same. Its their leverage.

Blame all the ADs who signed this abomination of an agreement.

If I was a wake fan I’d have bigger problems. Fortunately I’m a hurricane fan and as a hurricane fan I choose to hate on those annoying arrogant wake fans who want us to be left out from the two major conferences
 
Oregon State and Cal boards about being banished to Mountain West.

Hey, where is the MEAC HQd, I want to start getting plane tickets for Miami games.

GT is FAR better than Pitt and BC.

I think some of you underestimate Pitt. GT is in an area where there are so many other sports teams they get almost no attention. In Pittsburgh, they have the Steelers and that’s pretty much it. The Pirates haven’t been **** since the 80s. And on top of those things, Pitt was just in an ACC championship and has been putting players in the league every year. GT is not better than Pitt

Out performing expectations means little if you have no expectations.

If wake is so great than they should want the ACC dissolved and make their way into one of the conferences paying it’s teams more too

Lol. No one is going to think anything about those schools, because no one cares about them football wise. They're just along for the ride.

His point was they have an equal vote as other teams in the league and at some point getting a few more million a year (when you are already swimming in money compared to others) might not be worth it to you for the extra travel you would need to do and the tougher schedule. It's the same reason the SEC didn't go to a 9 game conference schedule yet; the 'bottom' teams wanted to be able to keep a easier game on their schedule and those bottom teams each have the same voting power as the top teams.

Now obviously the Big10 is adding the teams, so it didnt play out that way but it is a legitimate consideration for those teams.
