[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 881814, member: 1776"] On the GoR. I'm not convinced it will keep the ACC together until 2036 - that seems unlikely by itself. But I think there is just way too much nonsense going on in the Twittersphere with alot of people talking out of their butts and not actually knowing anything. It is a huge financial consideration for the conferences to deal with. Unless ND decides to go to the B10 I am not convinced there will be any more changes to the Big 2 for a couple of years. 2025 seems to be the next most likely inflection point as the CFP will have to be dealt with. The ACC may eventually fall apart, or it may survive just fine, but we are probably 5+ years from finding that out. I'll go back to something I said yesterday - If Washington and Oregon aren't seen as valuable enough programs to be getting invites right now (When B10 could have them without worrying about media rights), how many schools do you think are legitimately attractive to the big 2 right now? I'm betting that number is less than the number of fingers on one hand. I think B10 would likely do a deal where ND comes into the fold if they add Stanford - other than that i'm not sure we will see any moves by the B10 or the SEC for multiple years. And I think it would potentially take B10 adding Stanford to get ND as that would put their 5 biggest rivals in the B10. FWIW, I think the talk about GT on the Twittersphere is likely just that, alot of talk that means nothing. GT may be valuable to the B10 at some point, thought i'm not completely convinced of that, but it will almost certainly be one of the last teams taken by them if it happens at all. And I think there would be zero interest in GT right now due to the GoR. GT doesn't bring nearly enough to the table for B10 to seriously look at them until that is no more. Fans seem all convinced that the big 2 are going to have 20 to 24 teams in them. It will not shock me if they both end up with less than 20. What have we talked about over the last year or more, a super conference with 24-32 teams. Once TX and OU end up in the SEC and USC And UCLA in the B10 you are at 32. It would be pretty easy for them to then set up their own playoff structure between the 2 leagues like a professional league where both have their own post-seasons with the winner's facing off in a college Super Bowl. It is very easy for me to imagine a future where the big 2 have 16-18 teams each. For me the most likely outcome right now, and i'll probably be 100% wrong, is that there is little more movement now or even the next couple of years - with the possible exception of ND. There will be more changes but they will occur when it is most advantageous to the Big 2 from a financial and legal standpoint. Those will be the 2 driving factors in decision making. So maybe something happens in 2025. Maybe at the end of the decade depending upon when contracts come up. [/QUOTE]
