This Week in the West: Belichick’s nightmare interview, the Pac-12 media deal, Trump’s order(?) and Arizona’s roster reload
Our weekly review focuses on how Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, could indirectly provide clues to the next round of realignment.

Here's another source mentioning how important North Carolina is to realignment.
Other than ND, they are the next big prize.
Still linking to Wilner in the year 2025? Even if it wasn’t paywalled, I wouldn’t read anything that clown has to say.This Week in the West: Belichick’s nightmare interview, the Pac-12 media deal, Trump’s order(?) and Arizona’s roster reload

I'm not a Wilner fan, however I find it interesting that he has picked up on how coveted UNC is and that they could be the school other than ND who could start the domino effect.
You ever think that maybe you are overly credulous with sports and political media?
For the most part, no.
I'm not sure most people realize that North Carolina is the 9th most populous state (a hair behind Georgia) and has a high growth rate. Get them to where they are carrying that state for one of the 2 elite conferences instead of the ACC's model of splitting the state 4 ways and the upside is similar to a Penn State, Ohio State or UGA.
If you're just talking about media, no. Not nationally unless they're highly ranked and playing in a marquee game. But they will always drive a better base number in the highly valuable mid-Atlantic market similar to what Penn State delivers in the Northeast. That will often make their game a top broadcast pick for ABC/ESPN or Fox/FS for a time slot.
The UNC-Cocks games are lit, too.
Notre Dame, Clemson schedule 12-year football series with ACC revenue-sharing model as motivating factor
The Tigers and Fighting Irish are set to play annually under the new agreement

Could this be the move that keeps ND an Independent for years to come ?
Clemson, ND to announce 12-year schedule deal
Clemson and Notre Dame are set to announce a 12-year scheduling agreement that will pit the two college football powers against each other annually through 2038.
"The brands need to play each other more," Radakovich said. "That's what has to happen. Do we divide into two divisions? Who gets to play Notre Dame? How are we doing those kinds of things? And if the SEC goes to nine (conference games) we might have to go to nine as well with a bifurcated brands and non-brands [divide]."
This sounds like a conference fighting to survive without it's deadweight (BC, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Pitt, ...to name a few)
Per Thamel
Yormark has done as well as a Commissioner could with the hand he was dealt. His job performance is exemplary. Glad he's sticking around for a while.

I don't really see how this affects NDs decision to stay independent down the road. They have a number of good non-ACC opponents already on the schedule over the next 8-9 years plus still have some openings on their schedule.
As long as they have quality opponents to schedule, they will stay Independent.
My point is they were already getting quality opponents scheduled.
On a somewhat related note, it's interesting to note that ND and USC don't have any games scheduled beyond 2026

This is just beginning.
Look for a 9 game interconference SEC schedule to follow and then realignment. UNC, Virginia, FSU and Clemson all to make SEC a 20 school conference within 2-3 years.

USC vs. Notre Dame: Final South Bend Kickoff Time of Rivalry Revealed
Notre Dame and USC are set to play in South Bend in mid-October.
Notre Dame is also done with Stanford after this year......I think that series likely goes on hiatus. Stanford sucks right now. The USC thing is more interesting to me. Lincoln Riley and their AD Jen Cohen have both been whining about the travel since they jumped to the Big 10. A couple of takes-
-I don't think we're going to see what we saw last year. The committee HAD to take Indiana even with that god-awful OOC they play. If you don't have the huge gulf between the playoff teams and everybody else in the Big 10 AND the Big 12 having 4 teams tie for 1st at 7-2, do they get in? I doubt it. Riley can bitch all he wants about wanting an easier OOC, but I can't see teams playing the kind of trash Indiana did last year and getting in regularly. I can't see USC getting in the CFP consistently playing the old MWC/new MWC in conference.
-What Riley and Cohen have both said about travel is valid, and I think there's an easy fix for the Big 10. Three of their four west coast schools are playing each other. I'd have all four of them play each other in football.......just to help those four with travel.

ND and Stanford will still play every few years because of ND's agreement with the ACC
Assuming that the ACC is around in a few years.
If UNC, FSU, Clemson, Miami get poached by the big 2 or through a total re-organization then the rest of the ACC is going to have a hard time. At that point it wouldn't benefit ND to continue their agreement even if ND isn't forced into the re-organization.
Have to wonder at what point Stanford decides that trying to stay at the top level of college football while still remaining Stanford is worth their efforts. Could easily see Stanford following the lead of the Ivys, more so if some of the other high academic private schools like Northwestern, Vandy, Duke, etc. are pushed the same way.

With college sports in limbo and key issues coming to a head, the spotlight is on the SEC: 'It's going to get heated'
With potential CFP format changes, athlete revenue sharing and the impending House ruling all in flux, college sports is at a critical juncture. And the SEC is at the forefront of it all this week in Florida.
This article is a loaded with lots of info. Warm up a cup of coffee and let the all of the content sink in.
Buried in the article is this gem.
"The divide among the four power leagues is more evident than ever.
The latest example was a recent clandestine call that several ACC and Big 12 school presidents and high-ranking athletic administrators held with leaders of a private-equity backed super league. The call, earlier this month, was had without the involvement of ACC and Big 12 commissioners and was the second such Big 12-ACC joint meeting since December with those from Smash Capital, a venture capital firm proposing a super league model that features a $9 billion promise of cash infusion to college sports."
Got to think CU was at those meetings. Would suck if you woke up and the AD of your school wasn't invited to said meetings.
