MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

Are they still making more than us and the other ACC schools?

Uhhhh...kinda yes? Definitely more than most ACC schools. Although with the "post-F$U-lawsuit" rules and our run to the CFP championship game last year, we may have out-earned everyone in 2025-2026. I guess we'll know for sure when the financial statements are released.

While I'd prefer the SEC, I do think hosting teams like:
OSU, Mich, USC, Penn st, and Neb will fill seats.

My preference would be the B1G for the school overall - academic research + athletics and national footprint. The visiting teams have some good potential to fill seats as well, and some fun locations for those that travel or like a good away game now and then. (*Much of the same can be said about new teams from either conference, so not really a hill to die on team by team)

I think academics will be the main motivator. I was just thinking SEC has more marquis teams to fill the house plus regional support.

Northwestern, Minnesota, Purdue at minimum should be joining them in that...

They can frame it as their distribution is getting frozen at current levels (still above ACC/B12 programs they aren't even deserving of receiving more than btw)... While on next renegotiation others will get a bump.

Purdue redeems itself with its MBB program, and that is a big deal.
