Yeah, and what about all that buy out money that FSU would have to come up with to extricate themselves from the ACC?stu said:

The ACC could let FSU go and give their revenue share to Cal and Stanford.

Dunno what FSU really wants. Too late not to add Cal and Stanford and SMU, are they trying to jump to the Big Ten? They must be the ACC's USC. If they go then good riddance.
You could be right but if UNC stayed the remaining teams would have the academic connection mentioned by OdontoBear66.Econ141 said:stu said:

The problem is that if they get to leave on favorable terms, there are several other teams (e.g. Miami, Clemson, UNC) that will want to leave the same way causing our new conference to collapse. The reckoning soon as usc and UCLA bolted is much faster than I think we can turn our around our program (and by program, I mean our admin).
I would love that league as an academic/athletic fit aside the travel problems.stu said:You could be right but if UNC stayed the remaining teams would have the academic connection mentioned by OdontoBear66.Econ141 said:stu said:

In a word, MONEY. FSU believes they are worth more than other schools in the conference and would like to see an unbalance distribution model that would pay them a sizable bonus. In all likelihood, Clemson also sees itself as disproportionally valuable. In the end, that's what is driving all the realignment frenzy, schools like FSU, Texas, OK, USC et al self-perceiving an outsize market value relative to their peers. So they'll keep plating this version of musical conferences, eliminating weak sisters and regrouping until we end up with the predicted pair of 24 team super-leagues.stu said:

Bet there aren't enough teams for 2x24 leagues. 2x16, maybe.59bear said:In a word, MONEY.

I admit I'm intrigued by this prospect though I suspect I'll not live to see it. And you may be right about the ultimate number of teams that make it to top tier leagues but the dual structure of all major pro sports in this country seems a pretty obvious carryover to the revenue sports at the college level.Bobodeluxe said:Bet there aren't enough teams for 2x24 leagues. 2x16, maybe.59bear said:In a word, MONEY.

And there will be two levels of feeder/relegation leagues.
GO LAUNDRY!
Sooner rather than later, I hope.
