Correct. We should be trying to merge with the B1G and their network deal. It gives them more markets and more money and aligns us with a great super conference. It also eliminates options for ND.I’m not sure any basketball fans (or Dook, UnC, etc) will be pissed if we added Oh St, Mich, Indiana, Mich St, Md, Ill, etc to our schedule or hold your nose Barn, L$U, Bammer, Usce, Tn, Vandy, etc. One way or another we’re going to come to the fork in the road. We’re either going right towards a big time athletics conference or left to play in an inferior conference with the likes of Xavier, Ecu, Ucf Usf, Uconn, Southern Miss, Ga St, etc.
The only holdup is the academic side and the AAU stuff for the B1G presidents. They can't pick and choose from the ACC because of the GOR agreement we are all stuck in for 15 more years. They would need the entire conference or the conference to fold because most of the teams are headed somewhere else (the SEC is only taking FSU, Clemson and maybe NC State or Va Tech IMO in that scenario)
