The ACC is dead

[EERs 3:16]

Clemson and Florida State have reached out to the SEC to inquire about joining the conference, according to a report from Marc Ryan, Assistant Program Director of ESPN Upstate.

"Per a reliable source, Clemson+Florida State have reached out to the SEC about joining the conference," Ryan tweeted. "The SEC is concerned that streaming numbers for Clemson+Florida State don't bring what Oklahoma+Texas do. Notre Dame is the only 'free agent' left that would 'add to the pot.'"

 

[TownesVanZandt_rivals]

That is victimizing your rivals
The difference is that those schools can’t gain leverage like Texas/Oklahoma
UGA/Florida run that part of the country

 

[westsiderSJHS77]

Florida State and Clemson join the SEC.

and

NotreDame joins the Big 10 as the Big 10 and PAC (whatever) merge to form the second of two Mega Power conferences .

Those conferences will separate from the rest of “us”, create a governing council and go it alone.

The rest will create three or four conferences and the winners will have their own playoff.

In my opinion.

 

[oceantide83]

Sounds like just about the right time for WVU to join the conference.

 

[sammyk]

I could see the BIG going after Can USC UCLA and Stanford

 

[RichardCranium1]

Rumor as of right now is the Big 12 is merging with the rest of the PAC 12
Don’t know where we fit.

Utah
Arizona St
Arizona
Colorado
Washington State
Oregon State
8 Big 12 schools

someone can calculate what that brings if we stay

The remaining schools in the West
The remaining schools in the East
Two Super Conferences
Just because we are West Virginia doesn’t mean we go West

And honestly, I’m fine with it.

They ran a model several years ago to see how much money they would make in the Big 12 with FSU.

Clemson has separated themselves so far from the rest of the pack it actually hurts them. They are literally a victim of the own success.

FSU knows they are slipping into an abyss of the irrelevant. If there was one school right now that should be knocking on every door to get out of their conference it’s FSU. Their shelf life after Willie T and losing in a basketball conference they dominated years ago, is expiring.

Then by your 304 logic wvu is already irrelevant.

You homers are adorable . If you knew anything you’d realize both schools revenue is signed over to ACC in a multi level iron clad contract. You’d realize Notre Dame is legally bound to join only an existing ACC if they join a conference. I can barely wait to read this thread .

Oh BTW the report has already been discredited by Clemson and FSU. You know......pretty much like Texas and Oklahoma denying SEC rumors. Oh wait my bad!!! Texas and Oklahoma didn’t deny and discredit reports. They just said bag it we are out of this dumpster fire Big12.

Ignorant posting should be at minimum a misdemeanor carrying a $100 fine.

B1G and PAC are going to merge
At least the top half of the PAC

 

[mountaineermaniac34]

Yep.

or we wouldn’t be holding our breath to get on a waiting list to get into a basketball conference that has been an absolute joke since 2000, with the exception of one powerhouse team.

ESPN would make it to be so nice so we can play are old rivals, but we are not America’s team anymore like we were in the early 2000s during the BCS.

This is the same network that tried year after year to turn Virginia Tech into relevance when they would knock off the high and mighty Duke blue Devils, or beat the demon deacons to go six and six.

Hard to argue that 304 logic

B1G and PAC are going to merge
At least the top half of the PAC

ND will soon be in the in B1G or the SEC

And contracts have never been broken before. Nd has the money to tell ACC **** OFF!

 

[TownesVanZandt_rivals]

It was a slap in the face to Clemson and Florida State.
Those schools tried very hard to get Texas and OU into the ACC
I really don’t know what is going to happen with those schools. They are fighters though but ultimately they don’t leave the door open enough to bring in schools unless the B1G comes calling.
Don’t think either are AAU schools so GA Tech is as good as it gets

Texas had the door open wide even with the SEC SEC SEC narrative being pushed by numerous schools.
Ohio State was sneaking in.
Even they are worried about the future landscape of recruiting the state.
Could move their operation to California
That door is closed. Latched shut. They grabbed Ewers as fast as they could. He was the only one they couldn’t afford to lose

Thank you for the last three words. They make all the difference in the world.

Greg people had speculated for years that when the big 12 gor came close to expiring that the big 12 could be in a heap of trouble. In terms of the acc, maybe they're next up on the chopping block but if that were to happen its probably at least a decade away. There gor doesn't expire until 2036 I believe so they should be safe for the foreseeable future. The only real threat they would have is if the Big 10 and sec had a full scale raid where over half the teams are offered membership. That's not gonna happen these conferences are adding 1-2 teams at a time at the most.

I remember last winter the pac 12 commish stating that the Big 12 and Pac 12 should combine resources. Not sure how they feel at the moment but not the 1st time this has been mentioned.

Now that makes sense. The demise of the Big 12 has absolutely nothing to do with the future of any other P conference except providing formerly P5 programs to possibly add to theirs. When the Big 12 wanted to expand there were none available, now there are 8. The headline of this post is about as close to click bait as it gets on a messenger board.

It is being pushed. Hopefully it works out. If we have two choices. Leftovers of the East or Leftovers of the West.
What I don’t want to happen is they back door us for BYU and the ACC has their door shut.
BYU has some impressive numbers and like ND are considered a P5 school for scheduling purposes.
BYU is the school that comes up to be the 14th or 16th school. Oregon and Washington sometimes aren’t mentioned to join the B1G

 

[RichardCranium1]

Makes sense why the Big 12 commissioner is picking a fight with ESPN.
They are already in bed with FOX
Why WVU people needs to get with ESPN and not be lumped with them

Ewers left Texas early because stupid Texas won't allow him to make NIL money. You have no idea as to what you're posting about, as usual, and are bitter because you pretend to root for Texas, and the #1 recruit in America shunned Texas for Ohio State. It sucks to be you, even fake you. Glad to see that you continue to post nonsense during the wee hours of the morning, and hide behind your D!ckhead profile during the day. You're not smart enough to fool anybody. Good luck on getting your GED.

Can you give him any tips?

So says the unemployed band dork who plays on a message board all day and night, including on weekends. Your creepy obsession with me and constant cyber blowing of a clown outed for having 25+ profiles is old. Find another object of your obsession, fraud.

Who really knows what the Big 10 or the Acc next move is. There is no rule that says they have to be at 16 if the sec is. All the rumor's surrounding these two conferences are coming from unreliable sources in my opinion. I have seen people post on other boards the old where there is smoke there is fire. Well the smoke concerning the Acc and Big 10 seems to be coming out of the a$$es of YouTube and twitter folks. Outside of the Texas and Oklahoma thing the most smoke seems to surround The Pac 12 and Big 12 having discussions of an alliance of some sort. I really think the next change will involve the Pac 12. What that change is remains to be seen. I think the Big 10 Acc and Sec will remain quiet for the foreseeable future.

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

The silence coming from WVU and the ACC is deafening, relatively speaking. It's simply not natural, something is up.

Why jump the gun? Taking a moment to see how things shake out -esp with the PAC 12- may be a good move. And it's also possible that there's nothing really to talk about.

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

And if you wait out the others to announce, there may be no buyout or GOR fees. If the conference quickly dissolves you walk away.

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

Bottom line is, we don't have freakin' clue what is going on with WVU in this situation and it is driving us nuts!

 

[sammyk]

I think WVU goes to the AAC. If the AAC adds some of the Big 12 leftovers the AAC becomes a power 5 conference here is what you could have

AAC East
WVU
Central Florida
South Florida
Temple
East Carolina
Navy
Cincy
Memphis

AAC West (Almost the old SWC)
OK State
Tulsa
SMU
Houston
Texas Tech
Tulane
Baylor
TCU

Actually a pretty good conference

Usually these things aren't announced to the deal is almost finalized. If something is in the hopper don't expect to hear anytime soon. It may drive you crazy but sometimes the best kept secrets turn out to be the best deals once revealed.
