[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 998253, member: 1682"] I could see VT and NC ST being desirable to SEC, that is new money (new territory) maybe even more so than Clemson. SEC doesn't gain any money by taking Clemson, they're already represented in that state and area. I'm convinced Miami, GT, UNC end up in Big 10. I'm not as sold on UVA in BIG as some, Big 10 already has DC, Baltimore, Northern VA with MD, think UVA could go either way. ND ends up in Big, they have just been made AAU members and the research dollars are so much bigger with AAU schools that are in the Big 10 they'll not be able to resist. The Big money draw to the Big 10 is the research money that comes with being AAU in the Big 10, much more money then being independent AAU it seems. Utah is AAU and they stated that it was the research money that they were going to miss out on that was the killer in them not being invited to the Big 10. I'm convinced it is the reason GT Pres made the commitment to GTFB that he made. Big requires their schools to have successful athletic programs as well as being AAU according to the Pres of Ohio State and others. The Big question still remains what is the catalyst that triggers the end of the ACC, I believe it's coming and I believe it will come because of media dollars, just don't know what or how it happens. Does U FL leave and go to the Big 10 as a for instance? They're already AAU and joining the Big 10 will increase their income substantially through research grants coming because there seems to be much bigger $ if you're AAU inside the Big 10? Don't have any idea if that might happen, just throw it out there as a for instance. Higher learning institutions will be looking to survive as we move forward and bigger research grants in hundreds of millions (?) will not be turned down IMO. FL moving to Big 10 sends ESPN into panic IMO, no state of FL schools, do they end their ACC deal, (2027?) to take FSU and maybe UCF into SEC for a presence in state of FL. I throw this out more as something like this that happens that triggers the whole thing than it is something that is actually going to happen because I don't know that it is. TX and OU to SEC and SC and UCLA to BIG were surprises to me. I just believe something is going to happen that triggers the whole thing and it all comes down like the Pac 12. For some of the schools in the ACC it is not going to be pretty or fun, never is if you're left out. Without question IMO behind the scenes there have been "goings on" toward this consolidation and realignment even though we don't see much, moves are being worked on, conversations are being had.
