Teams Who Move NEXT As USC & UCLA to Join Big Ten [Former ACC Players REACT] | CBS Sports HQ 

The B1G is NOT going to give ND a better deal than UM or OSU because they haven't done it yet and that is why UCLA and USC punch their tickets to move! No one is going to beg ND other than the ACC, and that's because they have to!

Get ready for the SEC to add Miami, Clemson, FSU, and North Carolina.

Notre dame, Oregon, North Carolina, Washington will be next for BIG. Clemson, Florida State, Miami, and Arizona to SEC

Stanford and Cal will probably be the next to follow. The BigTen has very high academic standards and those two would be interested in that as well.

Clemson will probably join the SEC, but Oregon and Washington are on the table for the Big Ten now

This is good in terms of the quest to have a “ true champion” each year, but bad for college football and college athletics as a whole. What bothers me more is how clearly market/money driven this move is for the Big Ten…UCLA and USC haven’t been relevant to the national championship picture since Pete Carroll left ‘SC in 2010, but they sure give you the LA TV market.

if I'm the sec I'm going after the remaining Florida schools and Clemson along with north Carolina. I would also extend an invite to Oregon and Norte dame just for the heck of it

USC & UCLA to the BIG-10?? This move makes absolutely no sense at all.......... Maybe Financially but it's a Logistical Nightmare!! "if" it does happen, MOST of the teams will have to TRAVEL almost 3,000 miles across the Country to play their games!! Pretty Ridiculous!!

The big ten will expand and get oregon Stanford Washington. There will be two mega conferences just like an afc nfc type deal.

Honestly if I’m the big 10 I’m going for 4 teams. Oregon/Washington and Duke/UNC. Duke has a decent football program but the basketball rivalry is a huge money generator.

No they are not on the SEC level. The SEC just added Texas and OU which are greater programs right now than UCLA and USC.

Crazy Talk Moment: Oregon & Washington to the B1G, FSU & V-Tech to the SEC, Stanford, Cal, Notre Dame, & Navy to the ACC, & Arizona, Arizona St., Utah, & Colorado to the Big 12.

Notre dame would actually make sense for the big ten. Located in right in the heart of big ten country and several traditional rivalries already exist for them

What are they talking about? UCLA is a storied basketball program.UCLA hoops is as iconic as USC football.

The should just ditch the NCAA, B1G & SEC should form their super conference, & create their own league, CFL (College Football League). Students can get paid & get an education without the NCAA interfering. The NCAA has taken advantage of these kids & school generating billions.

Notre Dame when ACC calls: "New phone, who dis?"

Clemson, UNC, Miami & FSU to SEC Oregon, ASU, AZ and Utah to Big 12

I haven't heard anyone talk about this. What about the nil? I think the transfer portal, nil and recruiting are going to just get even harder for teams that are not in the Big ten and the SEC because of this.

So Lincoln Riley could have stayed at OU and joined the SEC, or left for USC and join the Big 10. Anyone think he knew that before taking the USC job?

Danny was triggered when Bryant said the big ten overall was a better conference, sec got is baseball and bama, Georgia maybe..we all know big ten football and basketball is lit, don’t forget hockey too..wrestling too😎

Ah yes, the good ol rivalry. The Union vs the Confederacy.

pac12 has to go after boise st and san diego st to replace the loss. i know boise and sdsu are no usc and ucla, but those are probably the best two schools that have winning programs.

The one saving grace for the old BCS system was that all of the schools in the six AQ conferences plus Notre Dame made up a little over half of FBS schools. So more FBS schools had a seat at the Big table than didn't (albeit only slightly more). If the SEC and the Big Ten are allowed to take just the top teams from all the other conferences and break away from everyone else (and there's nothing to stop them), then we're looking at just a quarter (maybe less) of FBS schools at the Big table, and everyone else can go pound sand. That will kill college football. Huge swaths of the country will eventually lose interest.

What a crazy time to be alive. Conferences aren’t regional, get it thru your head.

The B1G could add four more teams to be a massive super conference; Stanford, California, Notre Dame, and Boston College. ND, Stanford, and California already meet their high academic standards, plus they add the entire Silicon Valley TV market, and adding Boston College would land the New England TV market.

ND tv deal is with NBC for $15M, ACC and SEC are both with ABC/ESPN ACC is at $30M, Big 10 and SEC are both between $50M and $60M

It's mainly about football and the SEC has won the last three national titles. What have USC and UCLA done lately? What did the SEC runner up Georgia do to the Big Ten champion Michigan in the Orange Bowl? The SEC. It just means more.

Stanford & Cal will be next. The Big Ten will finnish the California top AAU schools sweep before any other school, even ND! California is the 3 top recruiting area plus the Bay area & L.A. market has endless money!

What if Notre Dame decides to form a conference with teams from the pac12 and ACC but get a bigger piece of the pie instead of joining the B1G or SEC conferenceS. Ex. Oregon, Oregon st, wash, wash st, Stanford, Cal, Utah, Clemson, Miami, Fl St, Va Tech, Ga Tech, UNC, NC ST, BC and ND would be a conference that brings good overall sports programs, rivalries, academics and tv markets. Two divisions east/west with 2 or 3 cross over games.

Good analysis Bryant and Danny, especially with regard to Norte Dame in The Brave New World of college football.

I’m still salty we brought in Maryland and Rutgers, but this is a great move for the conference. Now drop the divisions. Can’t wait to watch USC at the big house.

Iowa State and Notre Dame would be better fits geographically for the Big 10.

Big 10 and SEC will just be the two conferences with their own playoffs. (Think AFC, NFC) ND will HAVE to pick one, or they will just be the champions of the second tier. No way. ND has zero leverage now, and it is super nice to see.

Got to connect California to Nebraska: so that means Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. Oregon and Washington seem like no-brainers. Notre Dame will be very tempted. Will be interesting to see what happens to Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia Tech.

Seems unfair. What happens to not elite but very solid programs like Virginia Tech?

Hell NO. Look at the worst programs in both conferences and you will see the SEC is so much better. Just speaking football

The Big Ten’s list of potential suitors is limited to two key factors: 1) Television markets. If your team doesn’t introduce the conference (BTN) to a top 25 television market, they probably aren’t interested. UCLA and USC gave them both Los Angeles (#2 market) and San Francisco (#6 market). One team would’ve been enough for that but for the fact that they probably vied for a package deal. 2) AAU membership. Having partnerships with AAU member colleges means large research grants and more money. UCLA and USC are both members. It’s not just about being a big football program. The Big Ten would never take Clemson. It’s not a prestigious academic university. Notre Dame is and would be a qualified candidate, despite lacking AAU status. They’re also a national brand and would garner more television markets. Right now, the best remaining candidates would be Oregon (AAU status and #21 Portland market) and Washington (AAU status and #12 Seattle-Tacoma market). Florida State would also be lucrative (inclusion into multiple Florida television markets and AAU status).

This dude is a joke, first called the PAC 12 the Big XII. Then talked about how the B1G is a powerhouse in softball. 🤣😂

Conferences are losing their regional quality and the nation will waste enormous amount of jet fuel because of all the coast to coast travel. It's stooooooooopid. How can any sensible person support 3 "super conferences"? My interest in college sports just evaporated.

The big ten was already ahead of the sec

Notre Dame has a contract with the ACC that they have to join them if they choose to join a conference until like 2035 I believe

I'm sorry, but Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC is 10x more important than USC and UCLA. That's why it happened first and then USC moved in response (and UCLA moved with them)

The ACC contract with Notre Dame dissolves if the Irish can get another team to bail on the conference.The B10 would take Notre Dame and North Carolina in a package deal in a heartbeat.

Say goodbye to the conference of champions(Pac 12)

I think adding Clemson to the sec would make for really good games. With games like CU vs UGA , CU vs Bama , CU vs LSU . Those would break records. Clemson is a good fit, they always been a Sec school playing in the ACC . Between Clemson and fsu , they own over half the ACC championships.

There’s room for 3 conferences. If the ACC plays their cards right, they can pull one on both the SEC and B10, by grabbing ND (allowing them to keep their NBC deal) and being the first conference to do TV rev-share with players.

So much for that “gentleman’s agreement” between the ACC, Big 10, and Pac-12. I thought they were forming an alliance? Lol

As a ND fan, I feel like they have to join a conference if two super conferences emerge

Notre Dame, come join us on the ACC Titanic. We will give you the presidential suite and free breakfast buffet.

ESPN has destroyed college sports

LOL… Notre Dame is not joining the ACC or the SEC. It’s either Independent or BIG.

What if the Bigten could poach Clemson and NorthCarolina from the acc? Good for tv markets football and basketball . Would be interesting .

Football wise the Big 10 is still lagging a little behind the SEC especially with them poaching Oklahoma who's been a force lately and Texas. IMO if the Big 10 can convince Notre Dame to join them then they'd be close to equal. The SEC is above the Big 10 with as is teams Texas and Oklahoma are a better get than USC and UCLA. The Pac 12, Big 12, ACC, and Notre Dame combine to create a 3rd mega conference with the SEC and Big 10

ND needs to join a conference if they want to make the playoffs in the future

Everyone saying Clemson will go to SEC. I really want them in B10, Oregon, and ND, too.

It's like a game of chess with all these teams moving in conferences!

I think what should happen is Notre Dame, Oregon, Washington, Utah join Big10. Clemson, NC, FL State, and Miami go to SEC. Remains of PAC 12 and Big12 join into one conference and ACC and AAC join conferences. My only concern is NC and Duke are pretty much a package deal just based on basketball tradition and rivalry. But since Coack K and Coach Roy are both retired. That pretty much ends that and football again gets last say just like with the old Big East conference

Notre Dame had a chance to join the B10 years ago and didnt want to deal. The NBC contract is not worth what it was years ago. Also, clemson will go to the SEC ASAP

I hope USC/UCLA play in the West.They will have problems in the EAST.And playing back in the Midwest/East in November/December.Good Luck.

USC/UCLA's departure will leave a gapping hole in Pac-(10). Stanford, Notre Dame, Oregon can join the ACC

Why don't we just go 4 mega conference acc big10 sec and pac12/big 12 merger

The white guy is right w/r/t ND. If the B1G and SEC become (and they already effectively have) the only 2 conferences that matter and they kick the CFP and NCAA the boot and decide to decide the national champion between the two conferences, then ND will be forced to join one of the conferences or else risk being left out of the new championship and the resultant TV deals. Expect ND's hand to be forced to join the B1G in the coming months, along with Oregon and UW.

I doubt there is much enthusiasm from any of the SEC teams to have to fly to Oregon on a regular basis to play football. Clemson makes no financial sense because the SEC already has the South Carolina TV market. Also, Clemson will return to mediocrity as soon as Dabo takes over at Alabama when Saben retires. Virginia and North Carolina make the most sense as far as TV revenue. SEC already has Florida, so no FSU or Miami.

There is no tradition now.

Ifit were up to me, I'd add Washington, Boston College Colorado, and Notre Dame. all add huge tv markets. no more California teams, not trying to have it like Texas was in the Big 12. Markets of Boston, Seattle, Denver, and Notre Dame is Nation viewership with more watching from Chicago and Indianapolis which the BIGTEN already has markets in with other proximity BIGTEN schools. Oregon is cool but the other four have larger markets.

All schools are calling all the different The Conferences All the different Conferences are calling Notre Dame

Just to throw it out there what if sec put the talks out on the table to the acc teams to distract us from the talks with Notre Dame and Stanford

Two conferences have all the elite schools with the most money. Is this in any way in violation of anti trust laws?

Notre dame over rated if they would join sec or big ten they would be average at best

ND has no leverage in the B1G. They will never have OSU leverage in B1G. If they don't join, they will never be in a championship game playing in ACC. You honestly think they will get a better TV deal than OSU or even Mich in B1G? I've only ever met 3 ND fans outside the mid-west states. OSU fans are everywhere.

The big 12 needs to grab Utah and Arizona State in order to keep up if this Pac / Big10 transition goes through.

Can the ACC convince Notre Dame to join the ACC and then maybe get Penn State to flip from the Big 10 to the ACC. I doubt that a TV contract for the ACC would be enough to compel Penn State to flip but if that can happen then we can have three legitimate super conferences.

My poor WVU 😭😭😭

SEC adds notre dame, Florida state, Miami, and…….

I am so sick of people thinking ND not going to a conference arrogant. We tried many times. Finely we decided to go another way. An we made something special. And now every one wants to take it away.

Is Utah going to the Big 10?

Hey McFadden, if you couldn't make a difference as a player, why would we want to hear your voice or thoughts on active athletes, of which you are not one?

Notre Dame should be going to acc imo. I think the acc has done The Irish fair… I think nd stays with them and goes full time

You know who gets it the worst out of this Boise State and Memphis they were next up now a bunch of other teams are going to jump them

Notre Dame, Oregon, WA, Stanford and CAL would be nice to add.

Grant of rights, and $’s are tied up until 2036 add the 50 million exit fee in the ACC, the remaining PAC 10 teams may only have one chance and it would be to join the Big 12.

Sec was the best conference and just got two of the top 10 programs in football…. Usc is a top 10 program. But UCLA isn’t in the top 25. So … sec is still im kings

SEC still levels ahead

Tell me how this doesn't hurt recruiting for these LA schools? Their cold games used to be temperate UW or Eugene. Maybe snow but sun in Bolder. Now these kids have to fly cross country and play PST morning games in Minnesota? Have fun.

Clemson will never be invited to B1G because of academic agreement. Notre Dame is an open invite (has been for decades). B1G will go after Oregon and Washington next and maybe Stanford.

Think about what's best for business and FOX and ESPN's content. What conferences do they televise and what happens if you take too much all at once? Listen to what the media is saying and what they want you to believe. "The BIG10 is back on even footing with the SEC"! "Actually, they're ahead of the SEC" And you'll hear more of this kind of talk. They need you to perceive that the BIG10 is just as good as the SEC. Whether that is true or not doesn't matter.

All those Southern Cal kids who've been sold on the beaches of SOCAL, USC/UCLA does this and has to sell recruits on playing in Lincoln, Columbus, University Park, Iowa City, Purdue, Bloomington, Ann Arbor, Urbana, St. Paul, Evanston, West Lafayette, and Madison. The closest Road Trip for USC and their fans is beautiful Lincoln, Nebraska. Going from West Coast Time to Central too is also no fun. I don't see their fans traveling well and i see this as a long-term failure on their part......... The PAC, B12, and ACC should join up and create the 3rd Superconference, Huge TV Markets, A Great Football League, The best Basketball League, and a HUGE Recruiting Footprint, Lots of AAU Schools, Keeps Old Rivalries, Creates new ones. -Clemson -Notre Dame -Miami -Florida State -Oregon -Oklahoma State -Virginia Tech -Utah -Stanford -CAL -Kansas -Duke -North Carolina -Boston College -Pitt -Syracuse -NCST -Georgia Tech -Iowa State -BYU -Virginia -Colorado -Washington -Texas Tech -West Virginia -Kansas State -TCU/Baylor -UCF -Louisville -Cincinnati -Houston

Look at the location of these school. Is it worth the money to travel far to play? I prefer filling up the stadium than throwing away money!

Big 12 should move on utah colorado Oregon and Washington

Notre Dame would consider the SEC if it comes out that the ACC's best programs are leaving the ACC and joining the SEC...

BYU has a much better resume than Utah. Larger, national fan base. Better brand. And a a higher potential for revenue. Utah has done a great job tanking advantage of their recruiting advantage over BYU, but that is going to change quickly with BYU joining the Big 12. In fact, it's already under way if you look at last year.

Man they still not with the sec in football

Their U.S. map has UCLA in L.A. county and SC in Kern county (Bakersfield). LOL

ND to acc for what 30 million ? or Big Ten 100 million ? contract ACC to 2036

SEC to add Clemson florida sf miami notre dame

Their TV deal is crap...The BIG TV deal is 3 times ND, and that is before the renegotiation.

The Death Star actually came back after being "destroyed"

Better to be a big fish in a little pond than a little fish in a big pond.

Bryant's getting high on his own supply; ND is not even close to carrying the barganing power they use to.

Notre dame and somebody else will end up in the big. Probably a team notre dame has a good history with.
