It seems they are all that is left. Maybe they become the PAC-2. Guaranteed one of them will win the conference every year. Most likely though is they join the MWC. At this point no other conference wants them. The MWC snags two bigger name schools while WSU and Oregon State aren't left completely homeless.

So the MWC and Pac 12 merge to form the new PAC and probably grab UTSA, Gonzaga (basketball only), and another member like North Texas. |

Can you imagine being on the ****in' softball or cross country team and having to travel from CA to NC/etc. for every ****ing game? **** that.
I feel for the kids in the non-revenue sports. I would fully favor having FB and MBB have a totally different conference structure than the non-revenue sports. But that would make too much sense. |

The ACC is on borrowed time… FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, Virginia, etc. will continue to look for a way out of the GOR and jump to the Big 10 or SEC as soon as the opportunity is available.

Okay, you can offer a scholarship to a prestigious academic school but as a sought after athlete, I'm thinking twice, and thinking again about signing up for that crap traveling schedule.

Track and field has a different scheduling dynamic than football/basketball, but I looked at Kansas' schedule and there is nothing outside the midwest (Nebraska, Texas, Iowa, Arkansas). They did go to Stanford, though. I don't know how softball scheduling works but noticed in last year's schedule they didn't go to West Virginia, maybe that was just coincidence.

SMU won’t get any media rights fees from the ACC for NINE years.
The ACC won’t be in existence by then. |

But for a dramatically reduced amount of travel, that scholarship to Duke is going to look mighty tempting for the top prospect...

IF I am understanding it correctly the current ACC grant of rights runs through 2036 as long as they don't go below 12 teams, so it should. Who the hell knows at this point though.
