Heres what I have seen so far nothing appears solid but there is discussions/protecting themselves all around.

Supposedly 1 team has notified ACC that it's taking to another conference per new agreement. It sounds like FSU is marketing itself and 3 other schools as a package deal to B1G, SEC, and Big 12 (being last option 4th, behind ACC being held together)

All signs point to that GT is being discussed for B1G for 2 reasons 1. TV Market 2. Possible enticement to ND to join other options are of course BC, UNC and UVA - ACC would trade BC for UConn tomorrow, imo but who would be 16?

Supposedly UNC/Duke want to stay together and thus marketing themselves to SEC as package deal, would give UK, Duke and UNC for Bball which would be huge, issue is UNC/Duke in one state not 2.

Also Gator bowl head Rick Catlett is chiming in practically stating GT/UVA to B1G & UNC/Duke to SEC.

unc and duke would never ever go to the sec. they do not want anything to do with that conference.

Per BMM: Most likely 2014 Big East divisions: East-UConn, Cincy, USF, UCF, Temple, ECU. West-UH, BSU, SDSU, SMU, Tulane, Memphi

the is a $hit conference. We are luuck to be offered $4-7M. the current CUSA deal is more like $1M per school per year.

ACC presidents issue statement that any reports of schools considering leaving ACC are "totally false"

Joe Schad â€@schadjoe

Every ACC President and Notre Dame attaches name to statement promising committment to league

Andy Staples â€@Andy_Staples

14 ACC presidents release statement affirming commitment to the ACC. Six of those schools have hopped leagues in the past 10 years.

And a month ago, Maryland would have signed this, too.

Meaningless.

Sure - and there is no way the academic prestige in the ACC would ever pass on UConn and take ohhh say a Lousville - opps already happened. At this point I don't think anything is out of the realm of possibility.

And you're going to tell me that Clemson and NC State are prestigious?

So, that means we should expect a defection any minute now...

+1000

This is just like "We are committed to our head coach, he has done a great job here and we expect to have him as our coach for a long time." And then long time turns out to be the end of the current season.

Not sure why we should destroy it. We lost to two of those teams this season. And UCF would have probably beaten us.

But we fired our coach. We are now allowed to return to the delusion that because we are in Florida we are automatically national championship contenders.
