One out could be to have enough schools vote to dissolve the ACC.I don’t think the ACC currently has a $50 million buyout. I believe it was replaced by all members granting media rights to the conference through 2036. This means if someone leaves they will not be able to bring home game media revenue to their new conference, and the ACC contracts would control the broadcast of their home games until the grant of rights expires. As the years tick away that becomes less and less cost prohibitive.
FSU is still broke. They are just now getting out of the read. Sara (Spanx) already bailed them out with Taggart, she wont be fronting anymore money. FSU needs a conference to pay for all of their buyout for them to join another conference. Also, Florida will will kick and scream if FSU gets an invite to the SEC.Acc paid out $17ish million. Sec paid out $40ish million. How long would it take to pay off $50 million?
Imagine traveling to the Pacific Northwest for an SEC road game...🤣. I know regional affiliations mean nothing these days, but it's still funny to laugh about.
Very true. It always starts with one looking out for their interest over the group.Agree with a lot of this. Money makes the wheels go 'round, though. Part of life.
Would it be wrong for me to think that Texas' insistence, back in the late 00's/early '10s, on calling all the shots for the Big 12 and benefitting more than the other members is what *really* got the ball rolling on all of this. It's true that there was already some movement towards conference expansion and realignment (much of which made sense, some that didn't). However, I think the implosion of the Big 12 and now perhaps the Pac 12 can be traced to the Longhorns being a bunch of overbearing dicks.
I've read that the B1G will be targeting Notre Dame and possibly both Oregon (Nike money) and Washington next.Oregon & Washington should be begging to also join Big 10
And as mentioned Clemson & FSU are crazy if they aren't trying to get out for the SEC
Say, remember THE ALLIANCE!!! The Big 10, ACC, Pac 12 locking arms to fight together to stop the SEC!!!! So pathetic, one of those 3 just shoved a sword up a fellow 'partner's heart, and doomed them to G5 level of importance.

The B1G is all about TV markets and pulling in huge amounts of money, They now have the 4 largest TV markets in their footprint and 15 of the top 35 according to this list, That's the reason they went after Rutgers (NJ-NYC) and Maryland (Baltimore - D.C.). They're no dummies.

This is so dumb and I blame the SEC.
They were making too much money already.
The entire rest of the country could've made a super conference, and the SEC would still rule.
But they had to add Texas and Oklahoma to make more money.
Now, we have this.
won't be popular, but I wish espn would just step in and tell everyone what conference they need to be in. This is not going to make their product better.
Not that my opinion matters, but we already have Texas who wants to be in charge, screw NC and Duke, let them reign over the basketball concept. Miami, NCST, WVU and ND would be killer additions. SEC would have 6-7 legit contenders for playoff spots every year. Now it is yet To be determined if we go sfter ND who is in middle of BIG10 country.
That would be interesting if the SEC raided the Big10 before renegotiating a TV deal.SEC needs to go after Ohio St, Michigan, Michigan St and Clemson.
You don't get it. Why would those B1G teams leave a better payday? It's being estimated that in 2024 each B1G team will make $120 million whereas the SEC would pay out $100 million to each of their teams. Plus, it's rumored that the B1G is close to adding Notre Dame and Stanford with Oregon (Nike money) and Washington after them. As previously indicated, the B1G now has the 4 biggest TV markets in the country and somewhere around 16 to 17 of the top 35 or 40.SEC needs to go after Ohio St, Michigan, Michigan St and Clemson.

GT would be ironic. They would be going full circle. From SEC charter member, to leaving in dispute over scholarship numbers, to Independent, to ACC, back to SEC. Many thought GT was making a major mistake bolting the SEC(they did) but this would bring them back.Kick and scream all they want. With the addition of Texas and OU, UGA, UK, SC, AND UF don't have the voting power to keep them out. FSU or Miami will get an invite, maybe both. GT too. If the SEC puts any value on foreign veiwing
