ACC Shocker! BIG12 Insider Leaks Team Landing Spots | Conference Realignment | SEC | BIG10 

As a Louisville fan man I’d love to be in the big 12.

No sympathy for Syracuse or BC here. They've been taking Power 5 football money for years, but refused to invest it back into their football programs. They've leeched off of Clemson and FSU's TV ratings to get lucrative TV revenue that they never would have gotten on the merits of their programs...Swafford was an imbecile for bringing them into the conference to begin with, but that doesn't matter now. It's all going away and now they will have to make due with what they deserve on their merits.

Miami has no market. They have to give tickets away and still don't fill their stadium. That is the difference between them and FSU. Their fans are indifferent when they aren't a top 5 team.

If football is the main driving factor here, why does anyone want UNC? Their last ACC title was in 1980.

Have yall even looked at the revenue numbers for these schools??? UVA and Miami aren’t all that. NCSU and VT are way undervalued

Miami WILL join the B12. The B1G and their partners are into packed stadiums. UCLA has a similar problem, but is already in the B1G, and the problem will diminish. Miami needs a stadium. The SEC won't bother with considering the Canes.

The Big 12 should get Pitt, Louisville, Miami, Virginia Tech and NC State.

FSU (florida market), GT (atlanta market), UNC (carolina market), one of the Virginia schools (DMV market) plus ND (national market) are the only schools the B1G is considering.

He's no B12 insider lol. He's a goof who guesses and is usually wrong

I have a question. The Big 12 is set for the base schools to get around $50 per school with the additions to get around 12 million less than that number this summer. The contract if anyone read it states the following ESPN will Pro rate up to 4 Schools. Fox will renegotiate which they did and agreed to pay same as ESPN. HERE IS THE QUESTION! If Big 12 takes on any ACC schools, That means both ESPN and Fox must renegotiate the worth of the Big 12. What would be the effect and possible new number that could be deployed? Second Question! People have a short memory. Both FSU and Clemson have for years have asked to join the Big 12. There was a Big effort just before the current bad ACC contract was done. But Bowlsby refused to act in Big 12 interest as ACC hired him help fix their issues. Should the Big 10 and SEC decide to stay at their current number punting the expansion down the road a few more years, Could the Big 12 just take 2? That theoretically could bump the payout for the Big 12 to close to 60 million a year would it not? The Big 10 contract is not as big as media is reporting and that is now proving to be somewhere in the low to mid 60s number as they are still negotiating and working on the flawed math of the agreement. Big 10 is waiting on ND and one other as the next move. SEC has stated they already have all the valuable markets in the SE locked up and is not expected to take any new teams. What is the take given the realities not lies and crap that is thrown out to see what hits the wall?

Rerun of Locked on Big 12

Another thing I don’t think Florida State and Clemson challenge the grand of rights the way they have unless they know, and feel secure that they will have a landing spot in one of those power 2 leagues..big 10 or sec.

Well, Miami and UNC are AAU certified schools, FSU and Clemson are not. It’s important for the B10 conference. Take that for what’s it’s worth.

Oh, y’all starting to do a lot of cameos discussing the same matter from different conferences. Is this going to turn into a competition?

Georgia Tech, UNC, and Miami go to B10. GT and Miami being first out.

I am genuinely surprised at the take of UVA and UNC over NC State and VT you cite football as what drives the needle for realignment and then immediately say two schools that have strong basketball programs but UNC does not even break the top 5 in football viewership and UVA is bottom 3 meanwhile NC States viewership was the third most viewed Acc school behind Clemson and Florida state

Drake is spot on

Something that has not been stated is that back when VT tried to get into the ACC, there was a push by many to have Syracuse in instead, but the governor and the legislature of VA stepped in and fought to have VT put in instead because of the economy of SW VA is so linked to UVA and VT being together. Remember, Syracuse eventually got in, but not initially. I think VT and UVA will be a package if they go anywhere. Personally, I feel, "Let whichever schools want to leave go, and keep those who wish to stay." These conferences are getting way to big. What makes good rivals are playing each other annually, not the big money that is being tossed around at the expense of the students.

If the B1G were smart they would target unhappy top brands for invitation. FSU (not happy with ACC $) and Texas A&M (unhappy Texas joining the SEC). Add FL & TX and B1G would have a presence in all the big population states.

As a Va. Tech fan I would like to see them in the big 12

Miami is an AAU institution, 5.3B operating budget, football viewership that’s is higher than UNC and UVA combined and about 20% below FSU/Clemson (in our worst years). UM has an SEC/BIG athletic budget (smack in the middle to upper quarter). Miamis upside is huge. Location, recruiting, NIL, money, media market… FSU gets you North FL, South Fla is a different animal. Both FSU/UM would give BIG a lions share of FL superseding UF/SEC.

The thing with NC State is that their spot will likely be carried by UNC-CH. There are talks that the BoG in NC is making them a "package deal". But it is unclear on what that means exactly.

I spit out my drink when he said about ignoring the legislation for Virginia and NC. You’re gonna have to get that fixed and the way the timeline is currently and with how fast the legislature works (slower than a snail) I highly doubt either would get that separation.

These guys are entertainment only with the ability to hit once in a while. I hope that the dollar figure goes up so high that is no longer possible for the media to profit. The bloated AD of the schools have to cut back and NIL and portal issues are rectified and some sense of sensibility comes to the sport. This is simply not attainable long term. Not a prediction, but a plea for sanity to prevail. God bless you all

The 806 is loaded with football players! Example booger that went to U of Texas, Jalin Conners, that is now with Tech, Kingsburry, Zach Thomas, etc..., and most of thier players recently.

Literally no ACC teams will go to the little 12. Two teams will leave the ACC, that seems definite. Everything after that is a fantasy if they don’t think they’re going to the Big 10 or SEC

“Football is king” “UNC and Virginia are valuable to the BIG10” This is absurdly contradictory. Both those football programs and poor.

Miami has not been relevant in 21 years. NOT BEEN RELEVANT ≠ IRRELEVANT

Hay little 12 duf, Aimes isn't a cow town or in Timbuktu!

Who picked that shirt for you ????????????????/

I feel like this title is on the wrong video or something. I didn't see an insider or hear of a leak.

The two best cfb personalities together! Nice,. You guys work really well together.

Wonder if SMU will buy there way into the ACC?

I like this guy Drake. I have watched his channel a few times and I always seem to agree with his take, so far. And as a communications major and former debater, this guy has the best radio voice I have heard in a long time!

If the ACC folds. The BIG12. Folds. It’s that simple. There is no way the BIG10 and SEC lets the BIG12 hang around.

1:36 they were a life raft for Arizona state

San Diego State and SMU, isn't happening. What was that graphic? The BIG12 already showed they would stand pat before adding them. Big1O probably adds FSU and Clemson. The Big 12 probably adds Miami, Louisville, UNC, NC State and PITT. The remaining ACC teams probably merge with the PAC2.

Jesus Loves You

Where was FSU Big or SEC invite 30 years ago?OH that's right not one lmfao

Almost all ACC schools would rather stay in the ACC even without Clemson and FSU than join the Big 12. I’m a UNC and Duke grad with family from UVA, NCSU, GT, and Miami.

In the Big 12 going forward University of Houston is gonna be a school that grows fast . Houston itself is one of the top hotbed for recruits and now there is a power conference team in the city and billionaire booster in Tilman Fertitta and many corporations based in Houston. Houston has 2nd most fortune 500 companies in the world behind New York City. University of Houston it will be exciting to see where they are 5 yrs from now.

I wonder if any of these ACC schools who are left out of the Power 3 go back to the Big East for everything but football. It would be so ironic if that happens since a lot of them left the Big East for what they thought was a better opportunity in the ACC.

I Think FSU needs to be a little careful in its assumptions. The SEC simply doesn't gain much from FSU and then the BIG10 simply values the state of Florida as a market. If given the option of FSU or Miami I'm not sure which school the conference membership would value more?

I want to see a video with you two about what team you think would be the grenade pin 📍 in the ACC like CU in the PAC 12 that would happily take a 2 million signing bonus to go to the Big 12 and start the exit explosion 💥 I think its going to be Pittsburgh or Louisville. Miami is too stupid to do anything to improve their program its why UCF has passed them they even got the Nike deal now 😂. Brett Yormark is smart he knows $2 million is nothing compared to bumping up his conference another notch and taking out a competitor.

I think everybody’s clearly mistaken of how this realignment is going to shape out to be for the future. It’s not about revenue anymore. It’s about making the playoffs. Look a lot better with just these two conferences. I’m pretty sure they’re going to poach teams from the big 12 as well, I’ve been saying this for a while but it’s going to be these two major conferences have about 50 schools combined so the college playoffs would look better for the 2030s when most of the old people pass away or don’t matter anymore

Miami is very high on the B1G list. WHY? Having FSU & the South Florida market is MASSIVE. Also MIAMI is a ND rivalry game. This gives the B1G the 5 biggest ND rivals.

The best point is the last one. This SUCKS. Millions of alumni across the country are being told their programs are less than others because their gear doesn't sell well at Walmart. College sports was never supposed to be like this. Oklahoma ruined CFB in 1984.

Miami has great academics and gets more viewers and is in a better place as a football program than VA, GT, and UNC yet apparently the P2 want those 3. Make it make sense

In 2023 Florida State ranked 7th as one of the most watched college football teams in the nation with a viewership of 3.5 million people. Miami ranked 32nd with a viewership of 1.33 M. 😂 As reported by Zach Miller of the Medium, November 29th 2023.

No one knows until it happens. I just don't care anymore. All these expert prognosticators need something, I suppose. One thing I know for sure...I'll be watching college football on Saturdays, regardless of how this all shakes out.

FSU/Miami will be in the B10. If you are above the age of 35, you know the history of teams like Miami, Notre Dame, USC and Nebraska. The B10 loves those teams with decades of history and will want FSU/Miami/Notre Dame.

What's with every XII homer being so anti-ACC? Is it because the ACC would never invite any of them?

Most conferences prefer public colleges/universities.

If Miami goes to the SEC or B1G they better get a new HC. Luigi Cristbal will get eaten alive in either of those conferences.

This channel has some of the most inconsistent takes I have seen and often uses conflicting evidence in his arguments . Why is Virginia a "lock" for the Power 2? The whole video they were saying football moves realignment, not basketball (see their argument for why Duke is not wanted by the Power 2). Virginia has no football history and is consistently bottom 3 in football viewership despite the strong basketball brand. Same applies for UNC, but not as severely. Very mediocre ACC football team (would be a Power 2 bottom feeder), elite basketball brand, but does fit the desirable criteria this channel claims. Based off this criteria, Miami, NC State, and Virginia Tech be more desirable to their superior TV viewership numbers, fan supports, and football history. I don't have a problem with them claiming that Virginia or UNC to be the most desirable to the Power 2 outside of Clemson and FSU, that may be the truth, but the argument that they are good football programs is blatantly and embarrassingly false.

Lol he said Louisville wouldn't man is a 🤡 😂😂😂 Louisville is a top ten program in all sports 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 who let kids do adult stuff?

You forgot to include Clemson, ftr

And yet Texas Tech has back to back Top 25 recruiting classes and the current class is inside the Top 10. Poor old Texas Tech… smh

Miami is the biggest market and playing sec or big 10 teams Clemson Virginia or North Carolina wouldn’t bring the viewership Miami would behind Florida state! MIAMI IS THE BEST OPTIONS FOR THE BIG 2. If we being honest

Miami is going to whatever conference misses out on fsu.

Miami to the Big12

Miami is AAU with natural rivals of Penn State, Nebraska, Ohio State. Miami is going to the B10.

Big east for some and independent

SMU was in a power conference. They were one of the top teams into the 80s until the NCAA gave them the death penalty. Washington State have better football than Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado. So does Air Force, Boise State, Fresno State and Memphis. Those 4 are better the past 10 to 20 years than most of the ACC, Big 12, some SEC and some Big 10. Boise State did beat Georgia, Florida State and Oklahoma who are in the big 2 or going be there some day in the future.

I have shoes older than this guy lecturing about whether the XII will welcome ACC schools. LMAO. Whomever gets left out of the P2 from the ACC will be able to start a new conference and absorb anyone they want from XII. Good Lord do some ratings research.

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

ACC better all around conference than any conference. Big 12 would be like going to Conference USA. Please don't overrate your conference.

Remnant conference: Syracuse, Boston College, UConn, Duke, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech (or Pitt), USF, SMU, Tulane, SDSU, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State.

ACC, B1G, SEC, Big 12, Miami still ain't going to win a conference championship.

Use aau just saying, think about it 😮

lol, it’s not about Miami not winning title in over 20 years, it’s Market driven, economics 101, The U brand is big. Most teams and conferences know if Miami gets back to Howard Schnellenbergers blueprint, they will win

Nobody’s out of the conference yet. There’s still the small matter of a couple contracts drawn up by real attorneys. No matter what happens, you can keep the b12.

Big 10 football is soooo overrated. After the top 3, 5 with OU & UW, the rest is pathetic. Miami cannot draw fans, and haven't been since the 80's.

It doesn't make any sense to me why the SEC is not clamoring to absorb the ACC. There seems to be so much money there. Even more than it surprised me when they didn't pursue the Southern California teams and Oregon to be a part of the SEC or Baylor, TCU, Houston and Oklahoma State to the SEC. Even if they were to change the name of the conference. It should be about making money not the name of the conference. It not like about even being genius. Why are some of those schools going to Big 10 as opposed to the SEC is perplexing considering all of the money 🤑💰💲💱💸 to be made. From a basketball perspective UNC, Duke, Louisville, Virginia, Florida State, Houston, Baylor in the SEC would potentially corner the market. Why isn't the SEC more prominent in these discussions of conference realignment?

Oh dang Jesup georgia

South Florida aau just saying big10 maybe

I just can't see the Big Ten adding Miami, FL or Florida State. Geographically, it would make things very difficult. We still remember Miami gangster squads. FSU is in SEC friendly territory.

What recruit did UcF take from Miami? Be for real

Boston College, don't count out. If Rugters can join so can BC.

As a big 12 fan, this guy has absolutely no idea what he’s talking ab 💀

SEC- Florida St Clemson North Carolina & Virginia BIG 10- Georgia Tech (Atlanta) & Miami (market)

How many teams realistically does the B10 and SEC expand to. People forget that each team alone has to be additive be valued at 70+ million per year for B10 and like 65+ million per year for the SEC. If each team u add has to be additive in value how many are worth that before u start taking away from other teamsz I don’t see any conference really going past 20 teams

These videos are just to get viewers to watch and talk about so someone can make some money

Assclown said UVA or VTech would be a take before Miami... 🤣

Hell to the no for SMU…and unfortunately I don’t see SDSU either

Just keep UCF in a conference that has a shot and I am good.

“Football is what moves the needle”, and also “UNC and Virginia are going to the Big 10 or SEC”. UNC and Virginia are in the bottom 5 of the ACC in football Viewership. The 2 statements above are not compatible.

So let me get this straight. UCF and WVU and better programs than NC State and Va Tech?.....uhhh....no.. Also, NCSU may end up in the Big 12, and they would be lucky to get them cause they are a program that continues to grow in success across the board as does the city and region they exist in. Unlike many BIg 12 schools. NCSU is currently in 7th in the country in Directors cup standing and football will be preseason top 20. Raleigh NC and North Carolina is now the 9th largest State in the country and will continue to grow as well.

Miami won't goto the big 12 no way ! No how ! Pitt and lousville well and Georgia tech . Jamie

Dude are you serious? This guy is almost always giving false info about the big 12 . He is constantly called out bye other college football RU-vid channels….I wouldn’t trust a thing this guy say😑

And there is Notre Dame who doesn’t want to join a conference

FSU, Notre Dame, Clemson,UNC,Virginia and MAYBE Miami make the power 2. After that there will be no more.

Miami has the TV market the SEC and Big10 will want. FSU’s TV market still has fans that use rabbit ears on their TV’s!

If the B1G can't get unc, they will take Miami with FSU!

All the shows contradict themselves on VaTech,NCSU Vs uva, unc. Needle is moved by FB, not bb. Both VaTech and NCSU premier R1 Research Universiries, have loud passionate sec like fanbases. Yet all the talking heads, contradict themselves and all of a sudden talk about unc or uva being picked - even tho neither is a FB school. Most like UTE on Big12 mafia, will start talking about how unc brand smells to him ? Whatever that means?

The 'eers are setting pretty good!!!

If Nebraska gets kicked out of the Big 10 they should come back to the Big 12.

NC State grad. If no SEC, I’m happy to stay in the ACC vs going to the Big12.

Miami is AAU

Baylor c a n recruit wherever they want in texas.
