 aggy more fun to play than k state or Iowa state or any of em

especially now they’ve watered down the conference so bad, the SEC is just better every week. 

Three of those are just wrong, not to mention using Cincinnati and Houston is absurd because they wouldn't be in the Big 12 if Texas and OU didn't leave.

I don't expect any conference to stay 16 teams in size. I can easily see Clemson and FSU joining.

How can both of them get out of that contract though. Apparently it really does have teeth.

FSU's lawyers have said ESPN could end it in June 2027

The following spring, the ACC and ESPN renegotiated key terms, which generated the May 9, 2012, ACC-ESPN Amendment (the “2012 ACC-ESPN Amendment”), which was to expire June of 2027.

 It is a widely repeated misconception that the ACC’s multi-media rights agreement expires in 2036. As explained below, in truth, the multi-media rights agreement expires in 2027 unless ESPN chooses to exercise its unilateral option.

I think all of these lawsuits are smoke and mirrors.

If we've learned anything in this era of never-going-away-realignment talk, it's this: if the big cigars and ESPN think it will be good for business, any team can go to any conference.

I thought I read that if enough ACC teams agree to leave, the ACC GOR has no teeth.

 

i wouldn’t be shocked if North Carolina was offered a spot in the SEC for basketball reasons.

Belichick in shambles. Can he handle coaching in a conference that Just Means More? I don't see him thriving in high-stakes environments.
