Survival is the word of the day. If the SEC is really stopping at 16, and if the ACC has got any sense, they would try to find the best 3-4 football schools left out there that would fit, and haven’t been poached by other conferences. They better act quick to protect the schools that they have and to do a lil poaching of their own, before any schools leave, or put out any more feelers to the SEC or the B1G.Newest conference realignment intel: Separating fact from fiction

Sankey believes ACC schools will die on vine at only 1/3 payout of SEC/Big 10.
100%
I think the same thing.
If the ACC doesn't have a plan, six schools must get together and start a new conference. Poach BIG12 schools that may want out and PAC12 schools with high TV ratings.
Miami, ND, FSU, Clemson, VT, Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Oklahoma ST, TCU, Louisville, Baylor, Utah, and WV.
I would start with those schools first. The viewers those schools attract would give leverage for a better tv deal.

Nobody is going to join the SEC for a partial payout while schools like Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and Missouri get $100M/yr in full.Sankey believes ACC schools will die on vine at only 1/3 payout of SEC/Big 10.
Brilliant of him actually.
If situation changes, he can poach a much weakened ACC team(s) desperate to leave.
All win no loss for SEC.
ND would chose to join this new conference, but turn down the B1G?
Sounds like a desperate attempt to keep a dying conference from totally collapsing. I wouldn't put it past the ACC though.I heard somewhere that the ACC members were discussing a non-equal TV revenue share. Does anyone know if this is accurate?

They can purposely miss just as many holding calls against us from their couches as they do on the field.What would the tobacco road refs do on Saturdays?
Despite what anyone says, we all know that ND has a standing offer to join any conference at any time they want. If they choose not join one of the big 2 now, they clearly aren't going to join any other conference.Well, they have turned down the BIG10 before, and if the SEC and B1G don't want to expand, what would you suggest?
