Oh hell yes. Much better. Likely remaining teams, even if the ACC lost 8: Duke, Wake, BC, Pitt, 'Cuse, Louisville + adds of UC, UConn, etc.

Where will the other ACC teams go, slide into the SEC? BiG?

Just rumor at this point, but the B10 could take 2 or more of UNC, Duke, Ga Tech, UVA. SEC could take NC State and Va Tech. B12 could then take 2 or 4 of FSU, Clemson, Miami, Ga Tech, Louisville or Pitt.

I think if the $EC took VPI & NCSU and the B1G took GT & VA, I'll tell you why Pitt, Syracuse, UNC, Duke, WF, FSU, Miami, BC, Clemson, & UL ALL stay...

The ACC is locked in their TV deal, but they'll still get the same money from their networks and will still have their place as one of the big five in the BcS. They'll still get the same TV money but four teams fewer to share money with. That'll be extra $7 million annually ($17 mill x 4 teams that leave) just in TV money, and a easier path to the BcS four team playoff than the bigger conferences.

Plus what if Maryland loses the lawsuit and is on the hook for the $50 million exit fee?

That's another $200 million in the coffers.

If the Big XII can realize the benefit of staying at ten, why couldn't the ACC?

Even if the ACC wanted to be at 12, they can justify adding Cincy and UConn.

Because if the Big XII money is based on an unequal system and there will not be a Big XII network, I'd be bold enough to say the leftover ten in the ACC will be able to make more money than going to a 12 team Big XII.

I think the Big XII is more likely than the ACC. I think the ACC is stronger than it gets credit for.

2 years ago, the pundits thought the Big XII was going to implode and now it's stronger than the ACC?

All because the ACC's big TV wasn't big enough and is locked for 17 years?

I'm certainly not. That was a hypothetical situation.

Tcounty, I have no idea how long the MD case will take. I doubt the attorneys know yet. Once that is resolved, assuming it's a much lesser fee than $50M, then I would guess any more moves would happen quickly.

As for the B12 vs. the ACC, I think the pendulum could swing either way, but the B12 is better protected w/ the GoR. Also, the B10 or SEC would likely have to take teams first, before any ACC teams bailed to the B12.

Thanks - I haven't heard any thing new on the MD case. As with any litigation, I doubt it will be a very quick process. Agreed with the B12 - B10 and SEC will probably finish up first. I can't imagine they will stay at 14, but it's anybodies guess with this stuff. Thanks again.

Hasn't it been stated elsewhere that the B12 model it makes no sense to go to 12, but it does to 14?

I think all conferences should be capped at 9.

True round robin competition. No bs like Wisconsin winning the BIG or Stanford beating Oregon to go to the Rose Bowl in a playoff game.

Or Alabama having to play Georgia while Notre Dame rests.

In fact the Big XII is a combo of two former 9 and 8 league teams.
