[quote=Anonymous]A couple of points:

If the Big10 added ND -- there would indeed be a renegotiation of the TV deal.  That is in the agreement -- any member gains or losses trigger a renegotiation

I don't see ND joining the Big10 unless the ACC implodes which it might.  The rights deal keeps the ACC together unless the schools vote to end the deal.  The SEC wants a bunch of schools but those schools are not enough to undue the rights deal.  I could see a set of schools looking to leave the ACC for the SEC and a set of schools looking to leave the ACC for the Big10.  Then payments to the others plus conference homes for them.  That would undue the rights deal.  I then think ND joins the Big10 although in that case the SEC will make them an offer.

But the Big10 and the SEC will have to take more of the ACC schools than they each want.  I do not think they have to take all but between them they will need to take 11-12 of the ACC schools leaving only 3-4 with cash ad other conferences.

BC, Duke, and Louisville would need SEC or Big10 homes or they would never agree.  I think Pitt, Wake, Syracuse could be bought off.  Maybe Louisville.  BC and Duke don't care about the money only the conference.
