Big 3 conferences... Big 10, SEC, and the eventual merger of the Big 12 and ACC (with the schools from the ACC that don't move to the SEC/Big 10).

The ACC is toast….FSU just came out and basically said we’re leaving and need to formulate an escape plan. I guarantee you the other 6 schools being bandied about will the same.

Everyone knew this would happen a long time ago, also consolidating all of the major schools in a few places makes it easier to ice out smaller schools. It also gives them power over the NCAA in doing what they want, it's probably the quickest way to playoff expansion.

I dont see how Cal and Stanford make football money comparable to Michigan or Ohio State. How would they get a fair split share

Hence why I think the ultimate outcome is one giant conference of the SEC, B10, and select ACC blue bloods and pretty much **** everyone else….

Notice that it's just only FSU that's bitching about it, but the others aren't?
All it takes to evaporate Florida State’s votes is for ESPN to tell the SEC and Big 12 that there is no pro rata after 16. ESPN has the ACC and frankly the SEC at well below market value and have them both locked up for a really long time. Poof. Coups over. Does FSU think the conference is just going to let them go? Is their plan to dissolve the conference and kill the media deal, because they'll have to pay that too.

Sounds like the wheels are moving for Arizona to the Big 12.
