ACC could only get Big 12 leftovers

and group of 5 schools at this point. ACC expansion will not help financially and more than likely whoever we would get would be more of a burden. Bolting before it's too late is the best move at this point.

bolting is NOT an option. If it was then we would have already left. We are just looking for a short-term fix (Between now and 2036).

If bolting is truly not feasible, it appears the only solution is for the ACC to renegotiate the TV contract. Our arguing point is more money for the schools will improve their football/basketball programs and create much more viewer interest. One thing bringing in Syracuse, Pitt and BC did was add major markets that haven’t paid off yet due to the weak teams. So the increased TV money for the schools creates better teams with more viewers and the TV people make more. Everybody wins.

One solution is for the ACC to give Clemson and FSU more money to keep the conference viable beyond 2035.
It is the best option for schools like Duke, Syracuse, and Boston.
Otherwise, the ACC folds in 2035 and Duke, Syracuse, Boston, etc are essentially what we call group of 5 schools.

The B1G made their move because of the LA market and the USC brand. Simple as that.
The Oregon and Washington markets combined are a postage stamp in comparison.
For obvious reasons, they had to invite UCLA too and will probably wrap it up with Oregon and UW to give them more company.
