Tomorrow is my birthday and I hope the acc has a surprise for me. Does Puerto Rico have a university ?
Tomorrow's the big day for ACC

I can't believe the Big 12 went from life support to one of the top three conferences in college athletics. The ACC could have poached any team it wanted from the Big 12 following Oklahoma and Texas leaving for the SEC.
Dennis Dodd disagrees.
“Industry sources repeat that there is not much desire by either conference (SEC/B10) to add the likes Clemson, Florida State, etc. Not that the ACC's seemingly "ironclad" grant of rights agreementwould allow such movement. That says loads about the reality of the market compared to how those schools view themselves.”
Options dwindling as California, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State prepare to take financial hits
No matter how this round of realignment plays out, the remaining Pac-12 teams will be losing money

His opinion, but I think it will ultimately be proven incorrect if expansion involving the Big Boys continues.Dennis Dodd disagrees.

The B1G wants UNC and UVA. CU and FSU bring nothing to the SEC. So where do they go if they leave the ACC? The B12? That would seem a lateral move at best.
They will be proven wrong also. If his opinion is that those sources will be validated, then his opinion will also be proven incorrect. If FSU ultimately leaves the ACC, they will not move downward. Mark my words.
That's what I think. There are enough good programs in the top half of the B12 to join with to create a very good conference. Wouldn't be on the same level as B10 or SEC, but would be close enough.
Would not be a downward move by then but would not be their only option, either.
I don't think it would be downward either. Having said that, I also think they would prefer staying in the ACC. So by that time, they'll be in TV negotiations...which I think will prove fruitful enough to keep the ACC together.
It's too long. They'll be buried financially if they have to wait that long. They all will who aren't Notre Dame.
