-ACC adds WVU, CINCY and UCF to replace Miami, FSU and Clemson.
-To regain as much of the Florida market they would add USF. Then could add one of the following schools:
FAU, UCONN, Memphis (ND would probably be impossible to get as a full member if they lose all 3).
Would create a 16 team ACC:
NORTH: BC, Syracuse, Pitt, Cincy
STATES:(OH, PA, MA, NY)
COMMONWEALTH: VA, VT, WV, Louisville
STATES:(VA, WV, KY)
CAROLINAS: UNC, Duke, WF, NC-State
STATES:(NC)
SOUTH: USF, UCF, GT, Memphis
STATES:(FL, GA, TN)
-Big12 backfill their departures with Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah. To get to 16 teams they could add:
Oregon, Washington, SDSU
Would create a 16 BIG12:
NORTHWEST: UW, Oregon, Utah, BYU
STATES:(WA, OR, UT)
SOUTHWEST: AZ, SDSU, ASU, TTU
STATES:(AZ, CA, TX)
NORTHEAST: ISU, Colorado, KSU, Kansas
STATES:(IA, CO, KS)
SOUTHEAST: Baylor, TCU, Houston, OSU
STATES:(TX, OK)
If somehow only 4 ACC teams move at once, that makes things complicated and messy. Removing 4 ACC teams means you leave what is left in the ACC as a solid obstructionist voting block. Right now with the ACC whole, there's enough votes to stop obstructionism out of teams with a plausible P2 invite. Remove 4 P2 teams and that blows up the math.
Can you restate that?
Obstructing what? There’s enough votes to stop P2 hopefuls from obstructing, but if you take away the P2 hopefuls, and their votes, there are not enough votes?
I think what GTS is stressing is that critical mass must move at once. 8 to the SEC and 3-4 to the Big 10 and boom, it's done. Take 4 or less, or even 6 or less and too much legal power remains with those left behind. Leaving too many just creates massive financial loss. And I agree.
