I guess the definition of building a conference is subjective - Big Ten did not take the best teams in Maryland and Rutgers they went market. It appears they took USC and UCLA for the market as well just because they reached out and not bc the big ten were nervous looking around. I mean why not if the money is worth it and those team pay for travel.

IMO I think ND will be the domino that defines college football. If they stay ACC biased then conferences will be able to sustain. If they go Big Ten or $EC then it will be full on super conferences.

CFB is still going to be gate-kept by the top teams unless regulated.

 

I owe you an upvote, but I'm all out of reacts for the day lol. I think you're onto something. ND is the biggest piece left out there, though there still are a few other big names like Oregon, Washington, and the ACC schools. Just trying to read the tea leaves, I don't know if the ACC has enough possible moves available to try to compete with the B1G vs SEC arms race. The B1G would be absolutely besides themselves if they get ND, who seems like a weird fit for the SEC. Both are likely keeping an eye on the ACC and waiting to pounce once we get closer to the ACC grant of rights ending.

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Thinking about this situation this morning, if college football goes to two 20 team Super conferences, what would make the remaining B12/ACC/PAC conferences any different than the G5? I mean, the tv contract reworks couldn’t go higher if their best product/brand has left.

What dominos do we want to fall?

- Big10 stays at 16 team and Oregon / Washington stay in PAC12

- PAC12 adds 2 or more teams to replace USC and UCLA - Takes Boise and SDSU (rumored Big12 expansion candidates) 

- Big12 goes to 14 or 16 teams - adds USF, Memphis (expansion goes east vs. west) 

Other notes:

- ACC is not getting raided due to its grant of rights deal (2036) so no ACC slots will open up for a long time 

- ACC will not take another Florida school 

- USF might be screwed if Oregon / Washington go to the Big10 as the Big12 will poach PAC12 schools vs. any AAC schools 

Hoping for a Big12 invite sooner rather than later....

That are great points. I think Big 12 should of went larger a long time ago after they lost Mizzou Nebraska & Colorado due to Texas holding the conference hostage lol. They are a sinking ship kind of like the Big East was when USF got the invite. Glad USF didn’t waste their money on that BS lol

Sometimes the best invites are the ones you don't get ...

I wonder about the possibility of enough schools leaving (over half) the ACC that the conference just folds, and thus no buyout money is owed.

think there's a good chance this is happening or Kelly wouldn't be getting our hopes up.
