[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Syracuse/ACC fan I am hoping the ACC will hold.  I have little hope that ND will come in and rescue the conference (perhaps in tandem with its traditional rival Stanford).

PO'd to see that the B12 is much more active in trying to position itself as the #3 conference.

I think B10 stays as is for the moment.  I was reluctant to believe the rumor yesterday that Oregon, Washington, Clemson and FSU were going to the B10.  Oregon and Washington maybe.  I think if the B10 were to grab two ACC teams it would be UNC and Miami.  Clemson and FSU just seem a better cultural fit with the SEC.[/quote]

the ACC is odd in that it is both the most stable in the short term and has an expiration date in the long term [/quote]

The ACC panicked when it signed its last TV rights (GOR) deal.[/quote]

That GoR is why the ACC isn't losing Clemson and FSU and having to backfill with JMU or Coastal Carolina [/quote]

Seven (7) ACC schools are trying to exit the ACC. Another article  (I posted the link earlier) indicated that if eight (8) of the current 14 member schools wanted out of the ACC, then the GOR contract could be voided. Not sure if this is true, but it does make sense as otherwise the ACC signing of a GOR contract through 2036 was beyond foolish.[/quote]

By article do you mean lightly sourced fan blog? Go though the ACC schools and list the ones who would be better off outside of the ACC and you aren't getting to 8 [/quote]

It is possible if the Big Ten Conference follows through on its vetting of Georgia Tech--which would be the 8th school.

GT, Clemson, FSU. Add in Miami and UNC. I don't believe NC State, UVA, and VT because there aren't landing sports for all of them and they know it. As bad as the ACC is, it's a lot better than the AAC [/quote]
