ACC COLLAPSE: Trusted Insider Talks Clemson’s LANDING SPOT | Conference Realignment | BIG10 | SEC 

There are heads that need to roll for signing a contract that the universities did not have and was not able to obtain a complete copy for review prior to signing. Swofford and his cronies need to be deposed under oath to bring into the light the malfeasance that was and still is the standard operating procedure for the ACC.

This guy is not an insider, he's just a fan with a RU-vid channel.

Sankey just told A&M to sit down, shut up and take your cut, when he brought UT and OU in. I'm sure he won't have a problem telling SC, UF and maybe UK the same thing if necessary.....

Does this guy really think South Carolina has that much pull in the SEC? That will last about as fast as Texas A&M not wanting Texas in the SEC.🤣🤣🤣

Some points... first, I think this was a coordinated effort by Clemson and FSU once they realized the truth about the nefarious dealings that happened behind the backs of the member schools. FSU were the Marines conducting the frontal assaults with the amphibious invasion and getting the attention of the guns and indirect fires while Clemson planned the more deliberate and coordinated and sustained attacks. That way FSU can regroup, get resupplied and press those attacks. Second, going to the Big 12 for Clemson and FSU is a lateral move AT BEST. We both, along with UNC and ND and maybe even Miami will move to the B1G or SEC. People over inflate the requirement of AAU membership for entry into the B1G, while they do PREFER it, it isn't a requirement to join. The only way I see FSU or Clemson going to the SEC over the B1G is if Sankey just flat out tells ESPN to make it happen. The ACC WILL be regulated to a G5 conference or collapse all together, inertia is real and they did it to themselves. Last, Clemson and FSU should absolutely stay together on this. Since the game in 1988, this has grown into one of the best rivalries in the college football. The Bowden Bowl era built it up even more, then after the "Lost Decade" with the BO's coming to power...that's Jimbo and Dabo...MOONSHINE was poured on that fire. It's a solid rivalry now and we should both strive to keep it going. JMHO

Sadly, there’s not many judges courts or anybody that’s really interested in justice anymore

I really hope we get some longer videos on this channel once we get rolling into the season and preseason. I could’ve definitely listened to another 20 minutes of that.👏🏻 Also, I really like the guest we’ve been having A++ Go Cardinals ‼️ #LsUp #FlyVille24 #L1C4

I would like to see the SEC add FSU, Clemson, North Carolina and Virginia Tech. The VT fan base is perfect for the SEC.

Clemson has done more with less than any football program in the country over past decade. Many conf. championships, winning record over SEC, six playoff appearances, two natl championships, 3-1 vs OH ST, 2-2 vs. Saban, 8-1 vs. SC, etc. All while funding every other ACC program with an equal revenue split. That bothers regional and national rivals.

As the Omaha, Nebraska native I am pulling for FSU and Clemson to the B1G for good football and baseball to rival the SEC in the CWS. Early Spring Baseball in Florida, South Carolina, and California would benefit B1G baseball as a whole so much! After studying everything on conference realignment I do believe the importance of academics, conferences footprint and market size are all taking a backseat to quality programs with lots of dollars and eyeballs regardless of location either near or far from the competition. Case in point Georgia Tech and Boston College aren’t moving many needles for their location and the SEC would be foolish to completely ignore FSU and Clemson already in the footprint. Big brands and big games each and every week will get the money rolling! I do believe UNC is the lynch pin that if not played right could bring some of the Network, SEC, and B1G plans to a screeching halt and I will tell you why. I know you said the SEC wants UNC, but they only have 21 varsity sports where the B1G has all 28 varsity sports UNC currently competes in. Mix that in with how the North Carolina board wants to tie them in partnership to NC State. I think there is some leverage the networks and conferences have, but when that goes against long standing tradition and government it might not be enough to just push a school or pair of schools right into the SEC that don’t fit with ease. My thoughts are having a tough time thinking the SEC would let the B1G come in and just take all 3 of the FSU, Clemson, UNC and be happy to add from the left over ACC schools.

The Big 10 needs more content from Florida and Texas especially and more on the Southern Eastern seaboard. I think the Big 10 jumps at FSU and Notre Dame. A major Texas school would also be welcomed. The Big 10 is the Conference who will come out the major winner in realignment because they will offer the advertisers what they want most. Large numbers of affluent consumers.

Clemson to ACC: "I'm not going to sit here and let you talk to me like I'm 12, Tyler!"

Yes, I'd like to see FSU and Clemson go to the same conference. The rivalry between the two reminds me of the FSU / Auburn rivalry from the 90's. Two teams with fans that respect each other. I think ESPN and FOX are going to drive the decision as to which conference will get the two teams.

When the dust settles at the end of the day, I can still envision Clemson and Florida State remaining in the ACC and Notre Dame entering the conference as a full member. It would still be an easier route to a national championship than any other avenue mentioned.

Did Texas A&M stop Texas from coming into the SEC. No way can South Carolina keep Clemson out.

Good job Brian 👍

If you go to the Big 12 you just end up in the same boat. Being in a conference with a bunch of lesser schools is where they are now! SEC or B1G or this is pointless.

Can anyone tell me where I can get one of the Noles hats with a shamrock in place of the O? I need to get one before going to Dublin.

My question would be, specifically form an FSU perspective, WHO had or gave the authority / authorization TO sign for FSU? Did the board get the opportunity to review the terms prior to signing or granting authority to those who actually signed? Or was it the ADD and / or president acting unilaterally for FSU? Same question for all member schools. And whoever did have the authority, are you meaning to say that they were NOT ALLOWED to view the contract in it's entirety? If I am asking questions already asked please forgive but these seem relevant to any court case going on.

I sure hope it’s the BIG. No schedule in the BIG could be a tough as the gauntlet UF will face this year in the SEC. The Longhorns also have a very tough schedule.

Good dawd , no big deal , just go , ACC will deal with it ! Let’s see how everything works out!

do we even need conferences anymore for CFB? just make everyone an Idependant, maybe Notre Dame is on to something by not joining a conference for FB.

See you soon Notre Dame! I am inevitable. Sincerely, The Big Ten

This Clemson guy is absolutely mesmerizing!

The only rule in fighting is.....win, by whatever means necessary. That fair fight bs went out the window with grade school lol

Clemson would be a great fit for the SEC!!!

Great job Brian and CFA!!!!

FSU and Clemson to B1G in 2026

Hmmm ….Texas, Texas A&M, Georgia, Ole Miss, LSU, & Tennessee!! Throw in UCF, UK, & Miami, none of which will be easy. I think it’s pretty much universally accepted that UF’s schedule is the most difficult in CF in 2024.

I think they should all push the lawsuit as fast as possible and if the acc doesn’t bring the the contract to court then oh well. I would take the angle it isn’t real.

The MAC is looking more qnd more appealing every year. Stable conference thay gives a damn about their fans and schools, while not chasing the money which wilk inevitably kill the conference. I'm telling you now, the B1G WILL implode within 10 years and the SEC will do so too if they keep expanding.

EAST: Syracuse, Boston College, UConn, Duke, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, USF. WEST: Tulane, SMU, SDSU, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State.

Are Clemson and FSU really that sure that they will have a landing spot in the SEC or Big 10?

FSU, UNC, Stanford and Notre to B1G

Clemson fan here. I hope for the SEC but I’d be ok with the BIG10. But NOT the Big 12. Nope! Jumping from the ACC to the Big 12 would be like jumping from the titanic to a big melting ice berg.

Why not Clemson, FSU & MIAMI in the B1G?

I believe BugTen and SEC should create a super league for football of about 20 teams total including 4 teams subject to relegation and the lower level of SeC and BiG ten each send 2 top teams up to the super league. Like english soccer.

Go Tigers!!

The big ten is just a better conference. With Saban gone Georgia is the only really good team in there with lsu rising up every now and again. It’ll be harder to win in the big ten but it just is better.

Clemson will become another Nebraska in the Big10 or SEC. Good Luck. The first of many. Washington, UCLA, Florida, and Auburn are just a few that are going to struggle to keep up with the money.

"Thank God for FSU". That is the smartest thing he said. 😊

I heard Clemson was going to the AAC.

I hope at spring meetings FSU is left out ACC meetings. Don't play nice with people who don't have your best interest in mind. If you carpet bag to Big 12 you make less check the facts!

The B1G has greater view ship than the SEC with national brands.

F-espn, F-sec and their “Let’s do whatever’s necessary to give Nick one more chance tactics” - Its time to move to the B1G

Other schools in the Big 10 have further to travel to the west coast than Clemson would.

The best reason for getting away from both the ACC AND the SEC? Getting away from Disney/ESPN. I always hear "well, the SEC is the best fit for our culture". Pay attention to what Disney says and does and who they are targeting. I know people who have grown up in the south. That is not your culture and you know it's not right.

TJ, Glad you found Brian. It was a great conversation on both sides. Go Tigers.

As an SEC homer Im ok with Clemson. Seems logical to want to add UNC and a VA school, i kinda think VaTech is more SEC than UVA...dont care really. And that leaves one school. Anyone but FSU or GaTech. Hell, my 4th would be Louisville b4 FSU.

Jimmy Wheeler, the neighborhood dealer

Clemson the only other football school in the conference. Let's roll with them out of here

ND to the Acc. Yeah those 2 recent national championships prove Clemson football has really been damaged.

The sky is falling run run the sky is fallin

Big 10 getting FSU and clemson doesn’t help the big 10s recruiting in sec county, it hurts those schools recruiting. Now they would have to talk recruits into traveling cross country. Families wont be able to see them play most games

I bet in the end fsu ,Clemson plus all the others will get out for free go SEC

FSU and ND to the B1G TEN would be a good fit.

Dream Weaver..... one thing you forgot here. The SEC has to need you. And you have to bring a vault of gold to leave the ACC. Contracts are contracts

Thank you so much for having me on the show! It was a lot of fun. Keep doing what you're doing!

B1G or bust!

Boooohoooo don't let the door hit you on the way out

7:10 of the video...sec fans always say stupid things like that, like a fan base chanting s-e-c while their team is being destroyed by bama or georgia! Hilarious... come on over to the B1G, we'd love to have you both and I'd love to see meeeechigan play both of you every year! Gooooo Bluuuuuueeeeee!

FSU to the BiG and Clemson and UNC to the SEC.

Clemson getting the TV agreement tells me there is a settlement to be had. ESPN will arrange it between Clemson, FSU,ACC, and SEC. FSU and Clemson are going to the SEC

ACC: "sure, you can leave the conference, it will just cost you $500M+ for breech of Contract". Member Schools: "Ahhhh, can we pretty please see the contract we supposedly have violated?" ACC: "No sorry...when can I expect the check?" LMFAO! Talk about dead man walking....the ACC is finished.

The rock petters and F$U bring nothing to the SEC. Sorry kids, the music stopped and there aren't any chairs left. May the road rise to meet you. You will be lucky to get Big 12.

i lived in Florida a long time, i would love to see the stinking Carolina teams get stuck in the useless ACC and have to bring in east carolina, charolette and some other smaller brands just to fill out their useless basketball conference and live off basketball again while they lose all the football schools.

Clemson finally got off the damn fence huh? Figures they test the waters first. Buncha cowards

F ACC FF ACC

Clemson & FSU would NOT be able to meet the $30 million payroll coming to CFB in the Big 12. Only the B1G & SEC schools will be able to afford the coming on CFB Payroll.

After listening to the guy for over 10 minutes....It's official, I now hate Clemson.

Football is"religion"in the midwest as well bud! Gooooo Bluuuuuueeeeee Baby!

Can you really "stick it to the SEC" if the conference doesn't want you? It seems like the SEC really wants NC & VA to expand the TV markets, and there is also apparently some rumblings now about bringing Kansas to the SEC. THe SEC is set in football already, if they truly want to be a powerful overall conference they need more basketball powers not football powers. You get basketball powers and new TV markets and the SEC is not going to have any competition at all.

Y’all are shortsighted. FSU and Clemson should be big 10 bound. They make more sense there. Sec should be taking unc, with Virginia and vt and ncst coming in with reduced shares.

hope the acc goes away soon, the acc is all about basketball and helping the north carolina schools. the only reason the acc got fsu, miami and pitt, syracuse boston college is because football rules sports and makes all the money, they got the football schools to help support the north carolina basketball schools. they have the head quarters in NC and the ncaa gets the ncaa tourney in their state to help pUKe and the stank heels advance every season.

Go to the big ten have fun in the snow and long trips guys

The big prize for the SEC is North Carolina. I could see how the BIG ten would have FSU at target number one. LOL at the Clemson guy who thinks that Clemson moves the meter enough for ESPN to force an invite? No friend, the numbers just don't work. South Carolina has a population of what? 5.5 M and half those eye balls are South Carolina fans? The eyeballs just don't exist to move the meter for ESPN to go to bat for Clemson.

You use clemson Insider very loosely

The ACC is dead. it's just a matter of what happens during its death throes.

First, orange and purple is the most hideous color combo ever for anything. But i do support them 100%, gotta break the ACC up.... major question: HOW ON EARTH DOES A UNIVERSITY OF HIGHER LEARNING SIGN A CONTRACT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE!!!!!!!!!! in a way, you all deserve the shit you are going through! so many people should get fired for that.

Big wishlist, if FSU, Clemson, Miami, VA Tech, Louisville, & Duke could somehow end up in the Big12 together it would forever change the landscape of conferences. It could significantly elevate the Big12 & finally put them on par with the SEC & Big10. The Big12 next media deal would be significantly more & make the Big12 more competitive in all sports. But that would be a dream scenario. Those schools in the Big12 could create an alternate SEC style conference.

Uh, Clemson has a near zero chance at joining the B1G conference.

i watch a lot of this guys pod cast, and love them, but seriously its time to drop the kind of talk the clemson person kept saying about beating children, esp red headed ones. that is sad to say that . i know its been around but in this day of sensitive topics there is no place to even drop a line about beating red headed children, if it was anything else they would be called raciest and kicked off the air. it is the responsibility of the host to stop it the first time it happens in a very polite manner

My guy talking an offer from the Big 12 would be tough…… what other offer you got ?

There is no college football it's called semi pro I for one never watch big10 or sec.

The idea that UF and USC are against FSU and Clemson joining the SEC is total nonsense. Both universities want their in-state rival games to be protected as an in-conference game.

SEC,SEC,SEC,SEC

The Big 10 only invites AAU schools. Clemson and FSU getting into the Big 10 is not going to happen. As far as the SEC that is a possibility, however, the idea that ESPN would "force" the SEC is comical. How would they force them? ESPN could provide an incentive to the SEC but I am not sure what that could be. Is ESPN going to increase the payout per school just to add Clemson and FSU. Unlikely. Unfortunately, Virginia and North Carolina are in a better spot if the ACC falls apart. They are both AAU members and they both allow the Big 10 and SEC to expand their footprint. I would suggest Miami, Florida State and Clemson forming a new conference by pulling some teams from the Big 12 and the ACC. Only pull together teams that can draw TV Viewers. The weakness of the SEC and BIG 10 are with the big names schools there are some duds like Indiana, Vanderbilt and Rutgers. Or just package Florida State and Clemson together.

fsu and clemson wouldn't be able to handle playing in the SEC the teams are to tuff they should stay with the cupcake acc. Roll tide!

Clickbait sports addiction you're no better than drake toll

Clemson to the big 12 What a classic chicken $*&# Clemson move?...

Is this dude serious. Clemson is on the downside of being a great team

So, on one hand, he whinges about a conference that won't protect Clemson but, on the other hand, praises a conference that will throw both Florida and South Carolina's interests and concerns the trashcan? This is why FSU and Clemson' s arguments are so bogus and wouldn't hold in an unbiased court. AT the end, he praises the very entity screwing the ACC behind the scenes, and declares that "the network" should be the decider, not the individual schools of a conference...Smells like collusion and tampering to me.

Bad video

College football sucks now.

Won’t be Big ten. Not AAU

Clemson can not win In the ACC , what makes you believe they could win in the SEC or BIG10 lmaoooo . 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Neither Clemson nor FSU are good enough schools to be invited into the Big 10.

Clemson is a mediocre program. Their fan base is delusional. I remember how horrible they were under Tommy Bowden and their first years under Dabo. Clemson would get rocked in the SEC…and I’m not an SEC guy.

homie. fsu and clemson will never be in sec lol clemson is a small market team that doesnt change footprint. fsu doesnt expand footprint enough to make it worth it. gg no re
