Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

That was quite a read. Hindsight being what it is, the arrogance of PAC leadership led them to do literally everything wrong at every turn. It is no surprise membership bailed when given an opportunity, it was an incredible failure of management.
Going to make a heckuva 30 for 30 some day.
The AZ schools are all in Mountain time according to my computer.
Right now they are aligned with Pacific. In November they align with Mountain. They don’t do daylight savings.
HBO could do a great Sunday night series on Realignment in the same vein as Succession and GOT. Start the series with the death of the Big East to the fall of the PAC 12.

Heck, if the Pac-12 had taken the TV deal, we're probably Washington State and Oregon State right now, We got pretty lucky.
I remember sweating bullets during those two times. We were so close to extinction in a P5.
In hindsight now, 12 years and 2 years later, we were really closer to death than I care to remember. It was really pretty gut wrenching as a fan.
That's why I (we) feel so bad for WSU and OSU. For them now, it's even worse. They actually got clipped.
Clint Foster, I knew there was something I liked about him. Dude plays guitar!!

I still won’t root for Baylor, **** that school and their religious veil they use to cover up all that is wrong there. Other than Baylor, I do agree with you.

Four ACC Teams Revealed Who Oppose Adding Stanford and Cal
The ACC was trying to expand by adding two of the remaining four Pac-12 teams, but the votes have not been there thus far. The ACC requires 12 of 15 schools voting to add a new member, but when the vote went down on Wednesday night, only 11 of the 15 teams voted “yes” on […]

So ND is only a partial ACC member, is not a member of the ACC in football, but they get a full vote on any expansion matters which are driven 100% by football and were pushing hard on the PAC adds even though ND itself has no intention of becoming a member in football.

It was a long shot anyway but once it became public knowledge ND was pushing for expansion, it was obvious it wouldn't happen. Why would should with money on the line let a school that has nothing to lose dictate anything fb related?
I was watching Finebaum last week and there was talk about future SEC expansion and the overriding opinion from PF and callers was that NC State would be a much better fit with the SEC than UNC. The SEC currently has no presence in North Carolina. Maybe NC State sees itself as having a better than good chance at an SEC invite once the ACC poaching begins.
Also, I know this is bandied about a lot, but there's serious political push in NC to keep UNC and NC State on the same playing field. There's a chance they'd actually follow through.
Plus, the UNC and NCSU campuses are run by old people who really believe in the classic ACC tobacco road, North Carolina centric conference. So they could just be voting like that cause they are traditionalists.
It's just crazy to me how far the ACC bent over for ND.
It's more surprising that any of them voted yes without a significant payout increase or without ND becoming a full member. Adding Cal and Stanford to the ACC without a significant payout increase for the existing ACC schools would be the ultimate in realignment absurdity.
