Behind Colorado, of courseMiami would arguably become the flagship brand of the Big 12 if FSU and Clemson don't come
I dunno, UH looks pretty good in red.You think they’re better than what we got?
MHver is a troll who knows less than nothingSome rumors are saying 2025 for FSU & Clemson but I think that's a little late for that so I think FSU & Clemson will play in the B12 in 2026 at the earliest.

You want that money in your conferenceBecause of NIL/ booster support?

No I mean he literally knows less than ****. He used to run a blog and he openly admitted he says all sorts of things on Twitter as a "social experiment" to see how people react. All he ever does is repeat what others have already said, adds a pinch of his own BS, and sits back. He's literally admitted as much. He knows nothing, and he has zero contacts.Not hard to connect the dots plus he lives in the same city where the WVU regents are headquartered plus the state capital perhaps with some leaky people. Can't hurt to know a janitor who knows someone who knows someone in the loop. If he lived elsewhere, I'd be very suspicious of him.
ESPN has until next February to lock in the rest of the ACC media rights deal to 2036 and if not, that deal expires in 2027 which means just two more seasons (25 & 26) after this season. In that case the ACC gets a new media rights deal that Stanford, Cal, and SMU will receive shares of given that those three are playing for free at least the next three years sans bowl & tourney credits.
ESPN, by not having to pay the ACC, would save over $700M per year and if each Big 12 team was to get a $15M annual increase with FSU & Clemson joining, ESPN would only need to come up with half of $240M (Fox would do the other half) to pay the current 16 B12 schools plus what Clemson & FSU would be earning. So that's about half a billion dollars annually that ESPN would be saving. Not a small amount by any means.
And don't forget TNT has that money hanging around after losing out on the new NBA media rights deal. They can just keep the ACC around in that case along with other partners. Plus the ACC's calling card is basketball.
Doing the math plus connecting the dots makes things easier to understand what could be going on.
if its UNC, UVA VA Tech Clemson FSU and (GT, duke, nc st pitt or Louisville. in that order) **** MiamiIf it’s UNC UVA Clemson FSU and 2 others
I’m gonna splooge so hard
Swap either of the NC schools for Louisville and I'm in.My choices:
Free Shoes U.
Clemson.
Louisville.
Virigina Tech.
You would pick Louisville over UNC?Swap either of the NC schools for Louisville and I'm in.

We are already the best basketball conference. Don’t need anyone else reallyGot to get Louisville for basketball. If it's six ACC schools, then NC State would be in assuming UNC is not coming. GT for Metro Atlanta recruiting.
Louisville b-ball has been relegated to the back of the bus for years...hardly relevant for at least the last decade. I was a big Louisville fan back in the day of Denny Crum.Got to get Louisville for basketball. If it's six ACC schools, then NC State would be in assuming UNC is not coming.

If Yormark can somehow pull this off without forcing everyone else into unequal revenue sharing, he will become the premier commissioner in CFB and someone who is likely going to be on the short list to run whatever entity is ultimately created that brings the P3 under one umbrella. IMO, of course.
If Colorado and Prime were not in the Big12, then this would never happen

Colorado may actually help get the Big12 into the P3 be being the Sun at the center of the universe
Colorado and Prime bring serious ratings to the Big 12, but FSU and Clemson aren't (rumored) to be interested because of Colorado.If Colorado and Prime were not in the Big12, then this would never happen
