Ok, everyone needs to take a deep breath nothing has happened yet.
1. Facts are that USF won’t get in ACC as long as FSU is there.
2. The Big12 took ucf and is at 16 members if they add schools ACC ones will be looked at before USF
3. The SEC has 16 members, the BigTen has 18, really doubt any of them goes over 20. So that means at most 6 ACC schools get raided. And honestly other than FSU, Clemson, UNC and maybe Virginia as both SEC and BigTen would like a member in that state. I don’t see any other that those two would want and increase or match their payout.
4. The ACC has 17 schools not counting ND. Even if 6 left for SEC/BigTen, that would leave 11. Even if Big12 took 4 so all three would have 20 that still leaves 7 ACC schools.
5. So it really looks that if the ACC would be raided by those three, they would still have 7-9 schools and would probably add schools like USF, Navy, Tulane, Memphis, Air Force, Colorado St, SDSU. To get to 16
is that better than Big12, maybe not, but it’s better than what we have now.
Example:
East
Syracuse, Boston College,Wake Forest, Duke, UConn, Navy,USF, Georgia Tech
West
Tulane, Memphis,SMU,Air Force,Colorado St,SDSU,Stanford,Cal
