ACC settlement paradox is one of strength and futility, but college sports will eventually tear itself apart
The ACC has bought itself time by settling with Florida State and Clemson, but the writing is on the wall

The CW is big time. What did that contract run? 4-5 hundred at least
These guys are making lemonade out of lemons....rooting for them.
“And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.””
Nice dust-off of a Monty Python classic....kudos!
Between The Holy Grail and Life of Brian they pretty much hit on everything. Its timeless.

PAC 12 has added Texas State for 2026. Kinda sad to see one of the former great conferences rebuilding with schools that do not field competitive teams in multiple sports. A shell of their former conference.
Interesting article as I thought the ACC settlement deal would keep that conference together for a longer period of time. I was hoping to see the Virginia and Carolina schools eventually join our conference to see our conference go into regional divisions, with an East Coast regional pod that included PSU and some of those schools down south. I have read for quite some time that the UNC faculty prefer the B1G, but the alumni prefer the SEC.
This is interesting. That would create 17 teams in the SEC. Wonder if, as a State University, they would have to (by state legislture)/want to bring NC State with them and end up making it an even 18.
