      Stanford almost got a B1G invite last year, but the TV networks vetoed it. Stanford has the No. 1 all-sports athletic department in the nation, and was very good at football not that long ago (102 wins and 10 straight bowl games form 2009-2018, with 5 Heisman finalists.)

      @@atgdcommish608 expansion is no longer about what you did 20 years ago or what market you play in. It's about viewership and brand.
      Virginia is rarely brought up in expansion talk. The largest targets are Notre Dame (obviously) North Carolina (their brand is huge and their viewership is decent) FSU, Clemson, and Miami.
      The only time you EVER hear Virginia brought up in expansion talk is when it's about the SEC and it's only because after North Carolina, it's the only original "Southern State" that the SEC won't have a team in. Virginia doesn't bring value to anyone. Their viewership numbers are lousy and it would be the same dumb argument that the ACC used for Boston College and the B1G used for Rutgers: "It brings in a large television market." Which would be great if anyone in said market gave a damn about them.

    FSU and Clemson leaving the ACC would be the best thing for Stanford (and Cal). The TV deal would stay the same, and the league would get a lot easier to win. I doubt more than 2 or 3 teams will leave the ACC -- it will cost too much to do so in exit fees, unless they have a B1G or SEC invite locked up.

      ESPN isn't going to extend their deal with Clemson and FSU gone. At this point, with the idea that Clemson and FSU will ultimately settle within the next year, there's zero chance that ESPN extends their deal. At the absolute best case, Cal and Stanford have a good deal through 2027. After that, they're screwed.

      @@MercerKnowsBall no, it's going to die. It may still "exist" but it won't exist as a power conference. Yormark was smart to jump in front of the PAC to get his TV deal. When USC/UCLA announced their decision to leave, that was the death blow for the PAC. Schools couldn't afford to take the terrible television deals that were available for them and the same will happen to the ACC once Clemson and Florida State leave. Clemson and Florida State are the two revenue producing schools in the ACC.
      ESPN can (and will) nuke their television deal following the 2027 season. Why would ESPN want to pay what they're paying for the collection of stiffs that'll be left in the ACC? Do you think North Carolina and Miami will want to stick around for $20 million a year once the ACC has to find a new network partner? Or at a minimum, keep the partner they have on a significantly reduced revenue number?
      ESPN is already pissed off at the ACC for adding Cal and Stanford, they bring no value but ESPN will have to pay the conference an additional fee for both schools.
      Once Clemson and FSU leave, it's going to open the door for UNC, Miami, and Virginia, then the Big 12 will probably poach Duke, Louisville, NC State, and Pitt.

      c) If the ACC doesn't survive as a Tier 2, neither it nor the BIG12 will be relevant.

    NO, They DO NOT want to do that.
    Because it makes Travel HARDER for MOST of the Conference. So they would be F-ing themselves.
    These Conferences are trying to add VALUE.
    So you have to have MARKETS or be a BRANDS with VALUE.
    There is NOT ENOUGH VALUE in the PAC2 to meet any of the NEEDS or DESIRES of the ACC.
    ACC is working a 9-year Old plan RIGHT NOW based on FOREKNOWLEDGE that:
    1) the B1G and SEC were going to EXPAND
    2) ACC was sure to lose a few schools
    3) that the ACC needed to take cover with a GOR and be a COUNTER-PUNCHER after the onslaught
    4) that there is going to be enough MEAT on the bones after the onslaught to build a POWER THREE
    To NOT SEE that the ACC has SUCCEEDED with every step of their PLAN from 9-years ago up to this point is a sure sign you are UNINFORMED and DUMB AF
    To NOT SEE the next steps the ACC is going to take and WHEN it is going to take EACH ONE is a sure sign you are UNINFORMED and DUMB AF
