My thoughts FWIW


Jul 24, 2021, 11:05 AM

ND - with the expansion to 12 CFP teams, ND has even more reason to reman independent in football.
SEC - I believe that OK and T jump to SEC.

My best guess? The ACC will reach out to major football schools to gauge interest in jumping to ACC. PSU, OSU, Michigan, ND, aTm, GA??
Adding name teams would require renegotiating TV contracts ( hopefully new commish has bigger cojones and gets a lot more money). Adding teams means more competitive games, more tv revenue, expanding recruiting footprint, maintaining a seat at the table

- if no interest nothing can happen. BUT, consider SEC, B1G, ACC, PAC and Big 12 joining together intact to form a mega conference in all sports. No need for NCAA and can make rules, control playoff, etc.

This is all speculation and not sourced to any brother in law who got it from a hairdresser who has tea with someone in the know. It is BS and it is my BS

Good thoughts. I disagree about Notre Dame though.

I think it’s even more important for them to be in a conference now. Their contract with NBC becomes much less valuable as conference TV contracts continue to increase. Plus, as conferences grow, the desire for many of ND’s yearly rivals to play them might go down as well. The last thing the Irish want is to have a dwindling TV contract value and difficulty creating a good schedule.

Plus, my understanding of the new 12 team playoff rules is that the top four seeds (those that get byes) must be conference champions. I can’t imaging Notre Dame valuing their “independence” so much that they can never get a playoff bye.
