Traditional and/or regionalized conferences + ND, no guaranteed playoff spots. I understand that some of these schools wouldn't be happy to move, but perhaps they could be convin$ed.

I've said it on here before, but South Carolina will never, ever go back to the ACC under any circumstances. If we got kicked out of the SEC we would go to whatever version of the Big 12 remained, or go Independent/American before doing that.

Are you $ure?

I mean, maybe in 100 years or something but I guarantee you the board of trustees is 100% united on this issue as is 99% of the fanbase (the 1% all being casual fans in their 70s and 80s that just miss the old ACC basketball tourneys).

It was an ugly breakup and South Carolinians are notoriously bitter and indignant. We started the Civil War for Christ's sake

It will never happen, we would go independent and wouldn't really think twice about it.
