Would present some fun matchups, but I loathe B1G football lol. So boring.

I really, really want this to blow up in everyone's face, and I hope ESPN and the SEC are part of it.

I've said this multiple times, they don't want Miami recruiting against them with an SEC logo on their uniforms. The rise of the SEC coincided with the fall of Miami and Bama, LSU, UGA etc raiding SoFla for blue chip recruits. It's against the SEC's competitive interest to invite Miami. Plus...

The SEC may secretly wish it could purge a team or two, but nobody currently in the SEC is leaving voluntarily.

Unless we're talking something like a PAC-12 alliance/poach which presents issues with scheduling and travel, likley Houston due to its media market. Remember, this is all driven by media rights contracts, which correlate to $M/school payouts. WVU doesn't move that needle nearly as much as...

Can they hold out for the next 15 years if the rest rest CFB is posturing towards four mega-conferences? If they forego independence before 2036 they have to join the ACC. Couple of big "if's" but the changing landscape of the sport could force their hand.

Swafford bent ACC and and each of its member institutions over and helped ESPN slide in with no lube when he negotiated the last media rights deal in 2016, all for the ACC Network. Jim Phillips needs to be aggressive and find a way to lure ND and yes, likely Houston due to its large media...

If this is the direction CFB is going, along with a 12-team playoff, I don't see how it doesn't force ND to join the ACC. With super-conferences I think you'll see fewer out of conference games, particularly against marquee programs. ND may find itself struggling to fill a playoff-worthy...

If what I posted above is accurate, ND is contractually obligated to join the ACC if it forgoes football independence in the next 15 years.

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/17102933/acc-espn-agree-20-year-rights-deal-lead-2019-launch-acc-network Some interesting **** in the last contract extension with ESPN: "The ACC also extended its conference rights deal nine years through 2035-36. The conference's grant of rights...

Nobody wants to be left on the outside looking in holding their **** when the dust settles. I fear the short-sighted decisions the ACC is going to make.

We'll have to settle for gifs in the interim.

If the SEC poached Miami over FSU....

Yeah travel would be a LIMFAC, they'd have to get creative with scheduling. But we're entering this supposed era of semi-professional CFB now, and a lot of programs are going to have to consider alternatives to the old way of business to stay relevant or even survive. I think it could be done...

Miami vs USCw though. More I think about it, a PAC12/ACC football-only super-conference would be very interesting. Would hopefully secure the marquee ACC teams (Clemson) from jumping to the SEC, and provide for some very interesting match ups. People (myself included) joke about how nobody...

The biggest threat to us, ironically, is our fertile recruiting grounds. Make Miami irrelevant and a major barrier to recruiting in SoFla is gone. So yeah, there's incentive to leaving Miami out of any further expansion.

This would be the death blow if they wanted to kill the ACC, and Miami would be left on the outside looking in holding its **** in its hand, praying the B1G would reach out to us.

Big 12 is on life support.

OU would have 0 if the BCS didn't **** us in 2000.
