ACC has too many welfare schools
It will never work.
I expect their network to fail.

Too many schools and not enough revenue

4 pods only if bama, aubie, tenner, and jawja are in the same pod so we don't have to put up with this important rivalry shite. if they have to play then schedule game as ooc when not in the rotation. how fast would those game disappear. pretty damn quick. if ou and nebraska can quit playing then these other scools don't need it

short version bama auburn tennessee and georgia

Beware of ND. ND wants to create a Super Conference from coast to coast with California schools, Texas, Oklahoma and some of the ACC including Clemson, Ga Tech, Florida St, UNC, Duke and UVA.


First I've ever heard of this. I've always thought Notre Dame wanted to keep their independence.

I have wondered if major CFB should emulate the NFL and have two leagues. You could have the SEC expanded to 16 teams, plus the Anti-SEC which would be the best of the best not already in the SEC.

For instance, the SEC could add Oklahoma and Clemson to get to 16.

The Anti-SEC could be Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Texas, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Tech, USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon.

Not saying this is what I've advocating for but it would be an interesting concept.

Absolutely right! At least send A&M and Misery back were they came from. No one wants to play them. God awful trips!

B1G is in a much stronger position than the SEC right now because of revenue and their academic alliance.

Look at the revenue.
Plus the university presidents determine realignment not the AD.
Their academic alliance puts them in a stronger position. No one would ever leave the B1G.

On the field results do not determine what conference is in a stronger position.
Money does.
Revenue from sports and research funding.

Ain't nobody tuning into LHN or the SECN to watch those kids fill out scantrons.

By the way, the ACC isn't going to be losing any schools until at least 2027.

Super conference??? Give me a break! Super conferences do not play in stadiums where 14,000 is a having a very good day.

But university presidents determine realignment.

They are not going to walk away from money to the academic side.

All of this is conjecture until we see what happens with the ACC network.

Get real! If the SEC offered them the chance to join our conference they would leave in a NY minute.

If the SEC “went back to 12” I guarantee you 2 Mississippi schools won’t be making the cut. Wouldn’t make $ense financially.
