True from a brand standpoint, but ESPN got the ACC on the cheap- Clemson the top ACC school made like $40M last year.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

They don’t even need ND anymore.
They might like keeping big ten name and have two ten team leagues or even a promotion relegation system schedule of the two actual big tens.
They might like the idea of their teams like NW and Indiana making more football media money than Notre Dame.
It’ll happen now or in 2-3 years.
It’s not like all 6 teams defected from Big 12 in one move.
Not sure of the source, but with how quickly things moved today if this is true the larger media outlets will start reporting on it quickly.
It's gonna go full influencer before too long. Each school has a code they will give to their fans to enter for the streaming service the games are on. They payout to each school is proportional to the number of people that bought the streaming service.
If this is true, then the PAC 12's hope for survival has just crashed and the Big 12 will probably get an answer very soon from the remaining PAC 12 schools it's hunting.
Basketball will never be in the conversation with FB. Pipe dream and it's silly to value basketball in realignment.
If they could get out of acc east they’d already be in sec.
Best Pac teams now (Oregon and Wash are gone) and/or wait for the acc thrift store sale when that conf gets destroyed in coming years.
The end of this thing is not a power league where Clemson, UNC and fsu are outside and vandy is in.
Where’s that chip brown fella for our accurate news when we need it?
there is your 4 team pod.....UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington.
why do I feel like Iowa is going to end up falling into a pod like Nebby, Minny and Illinois.
Man, if this is true, then the Pac12 is dead and I can't see them recovering. They are geographically screwed.
that only leaves 8 teams. if we grab 4 then 4 teams are pretty much facing some very tough times. Feels like our big east option days.
I don't see how WSU, Oregon State survive. Cal and Stanford would have to land somewhere, but where? I can't imagine them joining the MWC.

We’ve been the #1 basketball conference for a decade and what power has it gotten the B12 in realignment?
I agree. Think WSU and Oregon State are screwed. They will be playing MWC football soon.
Isn’t it today or, pay the price? Doesn’t make sense to wait a week, unless it is done now and kept secret for a week.
