ACC Brands left to be taken and assuming 12 are needed for dissolution:

From the ACC:
Florida State / 10th nationally in Revenue / 2nd in the ACC in value added
Clemson / 26th nationally in Revenue / 1st in the ACC in value added
Louisville / 15th nationally in Revenue / 7th in the ACC in value added
Miami / 29th nationally in Revenue / 5th in the ACC in value added
North Carolina / 35th nationally in Revenue / 8th in the ACC in value added
Virginia Tech / 46th nationally in Revenue / 3rd in the ACC in value added
N.C. State / 56th nationally in Revenue / 6th in the ACC in value added
Georgia Tech / 60th nationally in Revenue / 4th in the ACC in value added
Virginia / 36th nationally in Revenue / 9th in the ACC in value added
Syracuse / 59th nationally in Revenue / 10th in the ACC in value added
Pittsburgh / 45th nationally in Revenue / 11th in the ACC in value added
Boston College / 57th nationally in Revenue / 12th in the ACC in value added
Wake Forest / 61st nationally in Revenue / 13th in the ACC in value added
Duke / 33rd nationally in Revenue / 14th in the ACC in value added
*** Notre Dame is the Star brand and greatest value and counts in dissolution***

If adjusted for basketball value added:
Louisville is 1st
Florida State 2nd
Clemson 3rd
Virginia Tech 4th
North Carolina is 5th
Syracuse is 6th
Duke is 7th
N.C. State 8th
Georgia Tech 9th
Miami 10th
Virginia 11th
Pittsburgh 12th
Wake Forest 13th
Boston College is 14th

B12 remaining schools of interest:

Kansas / 34th nationally in Revenue / 3rd in the B12 when adjusted for basketball with a significant gap between 3rd and 4th.

*** If Kansas was adjusted for basketball valuation and placed in the ACC here is where they would stand: 5th in Revenue / 1st in value added.

PAC school are limited to just the Big 10.




Market additions left to be taken:

Georgia Tech / Atlanta
Miami / Miami (the greater region)
Texas Christian / DFW
Florida State (general state coverage)
North Carolina (general state coverage)
Virginia Tech / Virginia (general state coverage)
Syracuse (general state coverage)
Boston College (Greater Boston)
Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh)


There's the info.

So which 8 should head to the SEC (whose preference is Deep South brands and new states) and which 4 should head to the B1G (whose preference is AAU and large markets)? And do you think if Kansas is taken dissolution is still safe at 11?

And has anyone considered that if the Big 10 ignores the ACC that the SEC can't take enough to dissolve them and would be forced to consider Kansas, Colorado for expansion?

My Gordian Knot Solution would be this:

The SEC takes Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina/N.C. State, and Virginia Tech, and agrees to a partial deal with Notre Dame.

The Big 10 is then free to take Duke, Virginia, North Carolina, and Pitt.

Having UNC in both the B1G and the SEC is a bold move Jr!

Are you visually and perceptually challenged? the / denotes one of the two meaning the SEC might prefer the first listed but would accept the second.
