Jim Phillips will restructure the payouts in a few years. There’s already talks for it now.

In the Big Ten the BEST we will do is 8-4. It’s just too damn loaded as a whole.

The make-up of the Big Ten VS the ACC means that there will always be a difference in the average revenue generated per team between these conferences. The Big Ten is made up of mostly big public universities that churn out lots of alumni every year. On the other hand, the ACC has too many small and/or private schools, like Wake, Duke, Boston College, Stanford, etc. The number of people watching the TV, attending the games, buying the merch is just going to be bigger at Big Ten. Always will be, unless the constitution of the conferences change, or if all the ACC fanbases turn into rabid SEC fanbases (highly unlikely of course). So even if Jim can renegotiate the payouts from ESPN in a few years, the Big Ten can negotiate an even higher payout then too. This is just the reality of college football nowadays.

BTW, I'd be quite happy with 8-4 in the Big Ten. If one of the 8 wins is vs the mutts, then it's even better!

Being the most-watched ACC team means that more people saw us lose games due to poor decision-making, clock management, and play-calling on both sides of the ball in all of our losses. As far as a move to the BIG 10, who would we beat in that league when we lined up against them? Would we win enough to get to a bowl game if we became a member of the BIG 10? We might beat Purdue, Northwestern, and Maryland...Maybe Illinois and Rutgers...After that, it would be tough to win with our current roster and coaching staff.

They also saw us take Miami to the woodshed with a winged QB and the entire college football world saw the hose job that was the refs at UGA. As for winning in the big 10 anyone not in the top 4 we'd be fine against most years. The top 4 we'd have a battle but we would adapt after a few years with the big 10 money

The reason we would want to be in the BIG is that the SEC and B1G will eventually become the equivalent of the English Premier League. The teams in that league will have more money to attract buy players from the lower tiers. That extra money will enable us to be more competitive. We may not win as many games as we like, but we will be sitting at the grown-up table. (By the way you named five teams we could beat. Okay...add one to three non-conference wins, and we're bowl-eligible.)

The ACC (whatever remains of it or however it re-constitutes itself) and the Big 12 will become the Champions League and be relegated to relative obscurity.

Remaining in the ACC is really not an attractive option unless you WANT to play in the lower tier.

We will have one FCS team every year almost all the time and that makes sense. GT will never have the depth of many of the teams you first listed so there needs to be at least one game where we are truly a superior team. Temple is not much different than Miss St or Vandy, USF or UCF in most years.

If the goal is to pack the stadium with opposing fans than go for Auburn, Teen, etc. If the goal it to win games and have a shot at a conference Championship then our current schedule model is fine in my view.

I enjoyed the days Auburn and Tennessee were on the schedule. Black watch days. Great crowds and a lot of energy at Grant field. Win or lose eete fun Saturdays. Watching the Tenn kicker bonk a sure fg to help Tech win and watching Bo Jaxkson battle Ted Roof. Great times!!
