One downside would be the FSU rivalry may be gone if this were to occur.

The rumor is Missouri to the West (about time), Texas and Oklahoma in the West, with Alabama and Auburn moving to the East.

How has the ACC held us back exactly? Face it, the Canes haven't delivered on its end of the bargain. The Big East was the worst of the BCS 6 conferences at the time, but Miami was still able to win National Championships. ****, Clemson is winning and still competing for titles. The main...

A few thoughts: 1. What a blown opportunity by the ACC in not forcing ND's hand last year (perhaps Swofford had one foot out the door and was asleep on the job?). I doubt ND would have joined full time permanently over one season's worth of football, but the ACC could have saved ND's season...

I hope you guys are right. I take off my orange and green glasses and see a team that hasn't been in a national championship game in 20 years. Hasn't won a New Year's 6 bowl game since 2003 and has been 1-10 over their past 11 bowl games. Still, the potential is there for a return to...

Is there any chance that expanded playoffs gets postponed? Will the other conferences sign off on a 12 team playoff that now appears to be a huge windfall for the SEC as they added 2 more blue chips to their coffers? It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. The appetite for quick $$$ could lead to the long-term demise of the sport as a whole. If college football basically becomes a 2 conference monster (SEC & Big10), it will become NFL-lite and I'm not sure it would work as we already have an NFL. The beauty...

I think the time is coming sooner than later. I just hope it is with the ACC and not the Big 10. ND actually makes less per year than every ACC school because of their partial membership. Here is some information I found: "Notre Dame earned $7 million as a partial member, and its deal with...

We aren't talking about short-term issues. We're talking long-term. Do you think Clemson will be able to keep having a top notch coaching staff if they continue to receive $10mm less a year from EACH team in the SEC? In 10 years' time, that would be $100mm of a disadvantage to each of the...

Actually, they got rid of the 12 team rule. Hence, the Big XII has had a championship game for the past 4 years.

I hope you are right. However, I don't see Penn State ever leaving the Big 10, unless the ACC could offer the same bucks as the Big 10. I don't see that happening, even if ND were to join full time.

If Texas and Oklahoma do move to the SEC, it could be the end of the ACC as a major conference ($$$ wise) even if ND were to sign on as a full conference member. The ACC has been paying out $10 million per school less than the SEC and $20 million less per school less than the Big 10 even with...

IF Texas and OU go to the SEC, 2 thoughts: 1. Forget about playing Florida in the regular season ever again. The SEC would go to a minimum of 10 conference games each year to maximize their $$$ and allow more high-profile games and opponents within the conference. Florida would of course...
