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

North Carolina / 35th nationally in Revenue / 8th 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?

Dissolution is not the only means around the GOR in these types of deals and the methodology behind these valuations debatable imo. Reminds me of Shapiro telling Delaney he was rolling the dice passing on ESPN's offer...I should say Shapiro formerly of ESPN.

I don't really know how much the valuations deltas between some of these matters in the end anyway, with the BIG and SEC brand being what is important going forward. This is adding franchises to the league as much as it is getting the current brand of these schools. Which can best prosper with just their own area so as to mitigate the need to cannibalize other franchises in the conference?

The values are merely indicative of the strength of the school relative to its own market, which can also be estimated by attendance. Revenue generation is important as an evaluative tool by which to gauge a school's strength within its alumni family. Subtract media revenue and you get an apples to apples comparison.

4 year average attendance (2016-19) among the A3. The average for the SEC (it would go up with UT/OU) was 74,881. For the Big 10 it was 65,213 (it would drop slightly with UCLA/USC). There were only 3 schools that beat the Big 10 average and only 5 that beat the Big 10 median of 57,134. SEC median was over 81k, even higher than the average. Nobody beat the SEC median.

We know that Miami's figures are fudged since many of their games were less than half fill for games for Miami at home. That does not look good on tv. They have donors with deep pockets buying the tickets that they could not sell.

Interesting thought experiment. Let's throw the long ball.

If ND agrees to join the B1G, a mutually agreeable move of Missouri from SEC to the B1G is arranged. B1G gets all-AAU Missouri/Kansas matchups and more contiguous footprint westward while gaining ND and enabling ACC dissolution. Missouri gains border rivalries with Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois. SEC agrees because 9 new schools help allay power concerns with B1G+ND. Migrating ACC schools keep familiar conference partners.

To B1G

Dissolution of ACC is safe at 12. B1G uses ACC additions to make more of mid-Atlantic/NY games.

If ND remains independent, Missouri stays put and a more aggressive B1G expands farther south while still solidifying viewer interest in mid-Atlantic/NY.

I have considered your option one and found merit in it.

Option #2 won't have a chance now. ESPN won't have any B1G interest in their new media deal. This means ESPN will likely pursue Big 12 and any PAC schools left after the B1G finishes their raid. There will be zero cooperation with the B1G now. ESPN will double down on SEC dominance. They could move market additions into the ACC and brands from the ACC into the SEC. They might also make a play early to wrap up Colorado, keep Kansas, and land the Arizona schools.

If ESPN goes this route they cut the B1G out of the South entirely, likely spend as is necessary to keep the Irish, and conduct their own playoffs. Doing this will only ratchet pressure up on Penn State, Ohio State, and maybe a couple more to think longer about their futures.

It starts with securing the B12.

When the Big Ten took so long on the media deal and took those 2 LA schools the thought that ESPN might not have an inclination to Big Ten rights crossed my mind and subsequent actions had an air of desperation. We'll see!

Yes, we're seeing some very interesting news. At first glance it doesn't bode well for the Super 2 playing a gentleman's game going forward.

I did figure that Option 2 entails more hostility between the Super 2 leagues, which means little could break that way before 2030. No way SECSPN sits quietly while the B1G runs away with so much. It can only happen LA-style: the schools and B1G arrange it on their own.

I'd like to hear more about how you see those 'futures' for Penn State and Ohio State falling out in that scenario you describe.

If ND agrees to join the B1G, a mutually agreeable move of Missouri from SEC to the B1G is arranged. B1G gets all-AAU Missouri/Kansas matchups and more contiguous footprint westward while gaining ND and enabling ACC dissolution. Missouri gains border rivalries with Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois. SEC agrees because 9 new schools help allay power concerns with B1G+ND. Migrating ACC schools keep familiar conference partners.

Dissolution of ACC is safe at 12. B1G uses ACC additions to make more of mid-Atlantic/NY games.

I think a cross between those two is possible.

ND would like to stay independent in FB, so to get their vote, a new home for their olympic sports should be offered from somewhere. likely to the big east (Fox).

Big10 and sec fight over FSU. FSU seems to prefer SEC culture/fit, but would likely like B10 revenue. Same situation with NC, but to a lesser extent.

Sec gets both schools by 3 concessions:

1.) giving up on Miami and GA tech
2.) allowing Missouri to go to B10
3.) accepting WF (albeit likely at a reduced share) to get to the 12 votes, freeing up the B10's choices a bit.

As an alternative to the WF concession, Fox and Espn get Pitt and Syracuse into the B12 (to get their vote), and SEC takes their choice of B12 school to replace MO. This would also presumably remove the need for ND's vote.

A second alternative, would be for the B10 to just take VA and CO instead of Miami and Georgia tech, freeing SEC to take them. This would still require the Pitt/Syracuse votes.

Note that B10 is still helping out due to getting Missouri. If SEC went to 28, they could take WF and KS, and not include the B10 at all.

Not sure I buy this as ESPN owns the ACC & SEC and doesn't make sense. It is just expansion fantasy, disappointed in Dan Patrick!

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?

I have considered your option one and found merit in it.

Option #2 won't have a chance now. ESPN won't have any B1G interest in their new media deal. This means ESPN will likely pursue Big 12 and any PAC schools left after the B1G finishes their raid. There will be zero cooperation with the B1G now. ESPN will double down on SEC dominance. They could move market additions into the ACC and brands from the ACC into the SEC. They might also make a play early to wrap up Colorado, keep Kansas, and land the Arizona schools.

If ESPN goes this route they cut the B1G out of the South entirely, likely spend as is necessary to keep the Irish, and conduct their own playoffs. Doing this will only ratchet pressure up on Penn State, Ohio State, and maybe a couple more to think longer about their futures.

It starts with securing the B12.

When the Big Ten took so long on the media deal and took those 2 LA schools the thought that ESPN might not have an inclination to Big Ten rights crossed my mind and subsequent actions had an air of desperation. We'll see!

Yes, we're seeing some very interesting news. At first glance it doesn't bode well for the Super 2 playing a gentleman's game going forward.

I did figure that Option 2 entails more hostility between the Super 2 leagues, which means little could break that way before 2030. No way SECSPN sits quietly while the B1G runs away with so much. It can only happen LA-style: the schools and B1G arrange it on their own.

I'd like to hear more about how you see those 'futures' for Penn State and Ohio State falling out in that scenario you describe.

The PAC and ACC were the two most value stable conferences. They had the smallest gap in revenue valuations among the P5 from top to bottom positions. But they also had the least overall value. The SEC was third with a valuation 2.5 billion greater than the B1G. The Big 12 had a massive disparity between Texas / Oklahoma at 56.3% to West Virginia at 1.7%. But the B12 was clearly third in value. The second greatest revenue disparity and valuation disparity is in the Big 10 where Ohio State and Michigan are 36.7% of the total value and clearly the top 2 earners and Rutgers is 1.2%.

2 things determine vulnerability: Total valuation and large disparities in value. The less value you have overall the fewer targets you have of value overall. The original B12 had the greatest disparity in a conference significantly ahead of the ACC and PAC. They were raided first losing Colorado of lesser value to the PAC, Nebraska to the Big 10, and a large and medium value school to the SEC. In its next raid the Big 10 took a medium value ACC school and Big East Rutgers.

Now in this move the SEC takes the top B12 schools and the B1G takes from the PAC 12 their #3 & #4 value schools which were 21% of the value. Why? Nobody left in the B12 had enough value and the ACC was locked up under a GOR and the PAC wasn't and the schools were AAU and there are 7 AAU schools left in the PAC so more will come from there, likely #1 & #2 in PAC 12 value (Washington and Oregon) and #6 Stanford. Cal could come to clean up politics and because of academic standing. The SEC grew its power by taking 4 Big 12 schools. No school in the ACC was worth Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma's value.

When the PAC 12 raid is finished no school the B1G adds will be worth Texas, Oklahoma and A&M. Should Notre Dame remain independent and should ESPN shore up the ACC with Big 12 additions, the only schools left to move the needle for the SEC will be Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. Michigan is more idealistic and Ohio State more pragmatic and sports culture based. Ohio State and Penn State (also sports culture based would give the SEC and ESPN 29.1% of the Big Ten's value and essentially complete a super 1 league should Michigan then be compelled to join to remain sports relevant. Notre Dame would then likely join as well. Now the SEC essentially becomes the NFL light and if USC and Washington joined you would have 32 schools encompassing the spectrum of the best venues and past champions. This is assuming the SEC has added 8 from the culturally similar ACC.

As long as ND remains neutral or allied with ESPN pulling Ohio State is at least possible. Valuation disparity in the Big Ten means the top 4 schools could all earn more in the SEC. It doesn't mean they want to, but that the option will be clear and tempting especially in light of the B1G's recruiting access issue.

Given the level of this risk - the SEC having an end-game goal of becoming NFL Lite and destroying the B1G in doing so - shouldn't the acquisition of UNC/FSU/Clemson/UVA/Miami/etc. be the B1G's top priority? To the point of pursuing every avenue to blow up the GoR as soon as possible? The B1G is either working on a plan to do so...or doesn't believe the SEC is an existential threat to them.

This is the biggest and most interesting question to me in the entire realignment game.

Yes, but without ESPN having a stake in the B1G that just became a virtual impossibility until after 2030. In the meantime, ESPN can consolidate remaining PAC and B12 pieces and use some to prop up an ACC value which permits those key schools to shift to the SEC. And UVa isn't a key school as they are way down the value list. Florida State, Clemson, Viginia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Louisville, N.C. State and likely Duke when hoops are included are ahead of Virginia.

Makes sense. If I understand you correctly. The B1G can't/won't take enough ACC schools to neutralize/mitigate the GoR problem anytime soon. And the SEC will be proactive in taking the key ACC schools off the table and move them into the SEC sooner than later. Is that about right? Thanks...
