The ACC isn't going to live the length of its TV contract. It all blows up when ESPN wants Clemson to join the SEC.
I do think Oregon, Washington, and Stanford all join the Big Ten, not sure about Cal. The big remaining domino is the ACC. Once it gets opened up look out. Florida doesn't want Florida State in the SEC, they probably feel the same way about Miami. I think the SEC takes one of them, lets say Miami. I think the Big Ten would love to take on a Florida State, which would really embrace their national footprint. Notre Dame is interesting. I think they could become truly independent, but it would be the death of their program. I can's see the Big Ten allowing them to schedule 4-5 games a year vs Big Ten schools when you have 20 plus teams to schedule. ACC survives like the Big 12. |

It’ll be interesting when the Big12 gets numbers, and if Fox is actually as interested as it sounds. Fox wasn’t even interested in giving the PAC a lowball offer like ESPN did, they said they had no interest in giving them an offer. ESPN will also be interested in overpaying for the Big12, in an attempt to get OuuT in 24.
It seems like the B1G isn’t done with adding from the PAC either. I’m guessing they have it on pause at the moment obviously trying to entice ND, but also so they don’t have to give the other PAC schools a full share right away like USC/UCLA is getting. The new playoff format is fantastic, but I wonder how Notre Dame feels knowing they have a 0% chance at a first round bye as they won’t be a top four conference champion.

If the Pac 12 wasn't run by idiots, they could have Gonzaga.

Basketball only is interesting, I wonder what type of a payment they would get. I’d assume it isn’t much of a bump for the rest of the schools, but obviously not taking money away either. I think it’s just an idea of getting more eyeballs on the Big12 brand. That or just a little pressure on the PAC schools thinking about jumping.

While I think its a dumb road to go down (ie the Big East route) until the power conferences pull away from the NCAA and can keep the tournament money, if B12 adds Gonzaga they have to add another basketball only school, right? Why not Villanova, and why weren't they ahead of Gonzaga? Nova has been some level of power since the 80s, has multiple titles, and is in Philly.
