I have no doubt the Big Ten and SEC will leave the NCAA at some point. They will have their own playoff and super bowl for sure one day. Too much $$$$ involved.
Let's be real. If Notre Dame was interested in joining the ACC as a full member they would have already done so. Even if ND joined the ACC as a full member it is highly doubtful the conference could generate revenues close to what the SEC and Big Ten are getting. At this point if ND joins a conference as a full member it is going to be the Big Ten where they can get more money and play many of their historic rivals as in-conference games. The ACC's days are numbered before they start getting picked apart and I don't think any grant of rights deal is going to stop it.
Actually, The ACC got more of Notre Dame than the BIG ever has. They’ve wanted ND for years, they want them now, but the word out of South Bend, they’re in no rush to make any changes. Sounds like a rebuff to me.
The B1G has committed themselves to being "Everybody Else", as compared to the SEC. The SEC will be 16 or so universities roughly in the southeast (Florida - Texas - Missouri - Virginia) and the B1G will be 16 or so universities everywhere else nationwide.
The ACC will not be fine. Notre Dame will be in the Big 10 or remain independent. The ACC doesn't have enough prestige or money to lure Notre Dame. Florida State and Clemson will leave the ACC sooner then later
If Notre Dame goes to the ACC, then the ACC deal that makes it hard to leave won't apply I think. So then the SEC can take Clemson, Miami and FSU if they want. Probably North Carolina and other basketball schools too. Depending on how big they're thinking of getting.
Why would Notre Dame want to be in the ACC if Clemson and FSU leave? We are talking about football. NC and Duke are great basketball schools, but football pays the Bills. An ACC without Clemson and FSU isn't very appealing
@@richarddavis5289 It’s not gonna happen. Captain Jack Swarbrick won’t let Notre Dame hang out to dry. They’ll let the dust from the carnage settle, then decide.
@@royboy9361 I for one actually want Notre Dame to go Big 10. Then if they threw a curve ball and went after Clemson,Oklahoma State, and Washington the league surpasses the SEC in football. Oregon has been great, but if you go one or the other, you have to go with Washingtons bigger market
Both usc and ucla already struggle to get fans in the seats...now the road teams fan base will be thousands of miles away.. looks like more 1/3 filled seats
@@jeffgrimm2955 Nebraska might travel welll.. and for the first 2 or 3 years yes they all will travel..but as the new wears off fewer and fewer will go
@@Godisgood13208 I agree with some schools but trust me I’ve seen Bama travel well during bad years of 80s, 90s and early 2000s and know the teams I mentioned will also
Lol you know absolutely nothing. B1G travels better than any other conference. Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State, Nebraska, Iowa and Wisconsin will sell out every single USC and UCLA game in Southern California and it’ll be every single time.
I hate to break it to you but not even the sec will be able to compete financially especially when notre dame Oregon and Washington joins. They have most of the big brands and big markets
@@laminho1188 LOL, I would pump the brakes on that one buddy. If you think the SEC is done, I think you need to wake up. That SEC deal is going to be no laughing matter.
@@jamiethornton6101 no one is saying their done what their saying is as far as financial competitiveness the Sec will be behind the B1G. If ND, Stanford/Washington/Cal, Oregon, and say UNC head to the B1G it's curtains. You literally can't deny that and I feel sorry for everyone if the B1G somehow gets a hand on a Florida team. The three biggest media markets plus a piece of Florida, wut!!!!!!!!?????
@@jamiethornton6101 Big ten now controls 4/5 biggest media markets the new TV media deal was already going to be over $1 billion before news broke out about USC and UCLA now with them the deal could be over $1.5 billion and if they get Oregon, Washington and ND it’s over big ten is thinking long term while the SEC is playing short term if Kevin warren gets ND he would’ve killed two conferences in one go
So long suckers. The remnants of the Pac-12 (-2) can now join the soon to be rebranded MWC forming the new appropriately named Meekest Worst Conference. ✌️ FightOn!
Eugene and Seattle television markets, would only generate an additional $60 million in combined additional revenues, per former Fox person on Canzano. It’s good money, but well shy of the $143 million breakeven for the Big Ten. The big ten teams will receive about 7 million less annually if they do an equal split with Oregon/Washington. Phil Knight could help or the NW schools could receive less to make them more attractive. Alot of dough, the Big10 teams would be giving up. Maybe Oregon will create a new PAC conference with big12 teams but the Big10 membership and potential games would be very interesting and also get to play USC, The University of Spoiled Children every year, in Big10 West..lol
@@alexnowicki286 Two super conferences you can assume but don't know which generates more revenue yet. Besides, the difference probably won't be that great and with way more talent residing in one's footprint I'd put my $ on the SEC if had to.
Every school in big ten will get 100million per year from tv contract. They will use that $ to pay players. It's about $ , no longer will Alabama rule the day. Money is king..
ND only wanted a partnership with ACC basketball. In order for this to happen the football program was roped into the 5 games with ACC opponents deal. When the SEC opens the door for Clemson and Florida State and perhaps two other ACC programs, the ACC will fold as the PAC12 is now. P5 Schools on the bubble better start scrambling and the only viable landing spot is the BIG12. Three 20 team super conferences is manageable. Anything larger is flirting with the ridiculous. 4 pods of 5, playing a rotation of one team from the other 3 and play 2 teams from the other 2 conferences. Seeds 1 thru 4 in a conference playoff to determine the Conference Champion. All four seeds go to the 12 team National Champion playoff. All these sports pundits and journalists are throwing a lot of good traditional programs under the bus in the name of greed. Are they even sure that is what the Hierarchies in BIG10 and SEC even want to do? There is a reason why people care about Traditional College Football and it is already being stretched to the limit. Making it a minor league NFL will kill it. Nobody cares about the minors when you can watch professional.
NBC is not going to pay a single team, more than 30 million. that's ACC money. Big 10... looking at 3 times that! Football, pays for every sport, in their schools. only Duke, earns their way! The Genie is out of the bottle!
Looks like B12 has jumped now. PAC is now on the verge of losing Utah. Looks like so far Oregon will be sitting waiting for a B10 phone call that may never come. So PAC loses SC and Ucla and now the other key program of the conference about to leave along with Az., ASU, and Colorado. The entire PAC south division will be gone. Wake up Oregon and Washington and get on board. As for the PAC still being a power conference without Utah its done and Oregon can't do it alone.
@@shigeolincolntaco LOL, yeah OK. Was it a sit tight don't call us, we'll call you? Or was it a we want you but not right now? Not saying Oregon or Washington don't get an invite but if that really is the B10 plans and intentions, why wouldn't the B10 just pull the trigger now, get them on board and still be able to court ND? Getting ND on board really has no bearing on whether to add one or both schools (Oregon, Wash.) right now, Doesn't sound so cut and dry to me. Tells me they are also exploring other options because let's be real, Oregon even with Washington really don't move the needle for the B10. I know that is a hard pill to swallow. Still believe both of them should have joined up with the Utah, AZ. schools and Colorado block. Maybe they will at some point, who knows.
We can do away with the playoffs. The champs of the Big 10 and SEC can play for the national title in the Blue Blood Bowl during prime time on New Years Day.
The BIG doesn't have all the power just because they react to the SEC and get So Cal and UCLA, two struggling programs from the west coast. It's the SEC that's been football king since the 90s and show no sign of doing anything but staying steps ahead going forward. LA is a pro sport city. Ohio St will have more fans in the coliseum than USC when they play.
Yes, but they accepted them because they knew they needed to. It’s gonna be interesting to see where everything lands. I hope it all works out for the better.
The SEC has been great, but not since the 90's: 1990 Georgia Tech (ACC), Colorado (Big 8) 1991 Miami (Big East), Washington (Pacific 10) 1992 Alabama (SEC) 1993 Florida State (ACC) 1994 Nebraska (Big 8) 1995 Nebraska (Big 8) 1996 Florida (SEC) 1997 Michigan (Big 10), Nebraska (Big 12) 1998 Tennessee (SEC) 1999 Florida State (ACC) 2000 Oklahoma (Big 12) 2001 Miami (Big East) 2002 Ohio State (Big 10) You could have had a good point if you hadn't tried to overplay your hand.
@@cndbradley4423 Look at it again. The SEC has won more nattys than any other conference during those years until present. That was my point. I didn’t say every year, just most.
West Va. would love for the Big XII to take Pitt, Louisville, and Va. Tech, who the B1G and SEC will likely not invite. Maybe the Big XII will also grab others from the ACC. Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, and Colorado are already talking with the Big XII. It will emerge as number 3 of the new Power 3 after the ACC and Pac 12 collapse. The new Big XII will need to devise a better plan than the ACC's to lash its schools to the mast to prevent being further picked apart by the B1G and SEC. The ACC model for that looks weak in the face of gargantuan sums to be paid under the upcoming B1G and SEC TV contracts.
