Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

It all makes me want to rent a basketball floor at a nearby high school, cover all of the windows, collect 500 black cats, and take all of the members of the numbers/statistics war and see who can collect the most cats in two hours with the lights off. The one with the most cats can be declared the winner, and be given a box of Band-Aids as a prize.
I literally laughed out loud. Great line. Sorry about that by the way.

A little reminiscing to add some unrelated levity to our heavy realignment thinking:
It was the fall of 1969, Johnny Majors was coach and my pals and I would climb into the south end zone raised stands at old Clyde Williams Field. The first seating level of the south stands was level with the goal post cross bar, and maybe only 20 yards away from it. We would sit (pretty much alone) half way up between the uprights. We couldn't see gains, but had great view of spacing and holes for running.
The team was bad, so our only excitement was cheering for our tall and strong black quarter back. He had a tremendous passing arm. No accuracy, but great distance. As soon as he started to back out to pass everyone in the stadium would cheer: GO OBERT GO!
His passes were the highlight of the otherwise poor games. When he threw, the ball would fly the length of the field. GO OBERT GO.
We only won 3 games that year.
The quarterback was Obert Tisdale. He graduated and went on to get a Masters Degree at Iowa, and became facilities operations manager at several agencies, ending up as Director of Business Operations at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. GO OBERT GO!
Does anyone else remember Obert?

I was there. If I remember correctly, Obert was running for his life on most plays due to our inability to block the oncoming rush of defensive linemen.
I do find it disappointing if ESPN is okay with the ACC exercising their pro-rata clause, particularly if it guarantees survival of the ACC is someone FSU and Clemson leave but we supposedly were told not to exercise ours (if that was indeed the case).
I thought ESPN honored it's pro-rata for the Corner 4 adds, but FOX did not kick in for all 4.
I could be wrong.
To be fair the ACC can have Stanford and Cal in my opinion
It’s a short term move that they’ll regret in the long term. Looking forward to the BIg12 upgrading with better ACC remnants when **** hits the fan.
I think we need to look for the answer in the Mayonnaise jar that Johnny Carson keeps under Funk and Wagnall's front porch.
If true and UNC is against expansion gotta assume FSU/Clemson/NCSt still are too. The expansion watch won’t be concluding tomorrow.
