he Big 12 seems to think they’re going to gobble up a lot of the ACC teams but I don’t buy that.
They probably will. SEC and BIG10 will cherry pick 4-6 teams and the rest will be Big 12 bound.

Every school in the ACC wants an invite to the B10 or SEC.
The only net money drivers are FSU, Clemson and UNC.
Then you have a marginal tier of VA Tech, UVA, NC State, Miami, Pitt, Louisville, Cal, and GA Tech.
All the remaining schools (Duke, Wake Forest, BC, Syracuse, SMU, etc) are going to end up in a lower tier league.
My guess is the B10 and SEC already have feelers out and if the GOR dies it’ll all happen almost instantly.
To me the only SEC cultural fits would be Clemson, FSU, Va Tech, Louisville and UNC but who knows where the chips would land.
I sincerely hope we end up with a southern Ivy League out of all of this. People on here have called it the Magnolia League, but it just makes too much sense. Schools like Tech, UVA, Duke, Wake, Rice and Tulane don’t really want to compete in football. They want to play basketball and Olympic sports and do research. Forcing them to hangout with the football factories doesn’t help anyone and a league like that would be a major boon to the south by allowing them to focus their resources where they’re best served while building an elite academic brand globally.

Article from Kansas City paper on the Rant today about talks between SEC and Kansas. Makes sense. They are “contiguous” (Sankey’s important factor) being right above Oklahoma and beside Mizzou. Most on that thread thread hate the idea, but I like that move as I like UNC and Virginia as our top additions from the ACC. Plus, move Auburn to the ACC.
