ACC joins forces with B12

Why doesn't it make sense ? I don't think SEC and BIG would merge
This new 'super conference' would cover most major TV markets
East
BC, Clemson, Duke, FSU, GT, Louisville, Miami, UNC, NC State, Pitt, Cuse, UVA, VT, WF, WVU, UCF, Cincy
West
Cal, SMU, Stanford, Arizona, Az State, Baylor, BYU, Colorado, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas St, Okie State, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah

Yeah and push for an automatic 2 berths for playoffs. With that many teams it should be demanded

Hypothetically this happens... and the new ACC/Big12 super conference starts making high demands. What would happen if the SEC and Big10 try and break away and do their own thing and claim to be division 1a and everyone else is 1b (aka NIT tournament). ACC Big12 would claim the national champion in the current format but the SEC Big10 final game would probably have more ratings and a bigger TV deal and thus eventually become the defacto NC. Further they could threaten to include Notre Dame and a pull a couple more schools (hopefully Clemson). I am not sure what would happen but I am afraid of finding out.
Ultimately the SEC and Big10 will (behind closed doors) threaten to invite away the best brands from these conferences as a bargaining chip playing on fear of being left behind.

Which is why it won't happen 😂 But I'd be all for it.
Makes me think they'd probably go with a pod model based on region. Could be pretty fun if done right.

The Coots have been immaterial to college football for all of my life and I am 75 years old. Clemson walking away from SC for a better game would not bother me a bit. We gain NOTHING by beating SC. They gain everything by beating us. If we could exchange our annual game with SC for another Notre Dame like series I would feel great about the change. Clemson is headed for the ultimate SUPER CONFERENCE based on who we are. SC, Miss State, NCSU, Illinois and 50 more no name teams are not of much concern or interest to me or the bigger world of college football.
It sucks to be a Gamecock. Nothing about being a Gamecock has changed in half a century. I am certainly willing to walk away from SC.
Go Tigers!

any possible ammo ... ie, LSU beat Wake Forest so this new conference is no good.

Conferences are just fine as they are but for at least the 3rd summer in a row, we will hear about conference realignment every day.

Nah. I'm not impressed. The Big 12 just has two many G5 promotions. The time for a merger would have been after Texas and OU announced they were leaving and before they invited Houston, UCF and Cincy in.

Why would any network pay those two conferences any more per team than they are paying now?

Because everyone is just dying to see Cincy vs Syrexcuse. It just makes sense. Dollars and cents.

For Baseball and Basketball this would be huge for premium matchups. But for football this would be very lackluster nearly every weekend.

And become 2 overall good conf 1 a more of a FB power. This assumes UNC & UVA go to SEC to give 18 teams
ACC 18 (FB Power)
Miami FSU Clemson NC St VT WV Louisville Iowa St Kansas Kansas St OKST Texas Tech Colorado Arizona Arizona St Utah Oregon St Washington St
Big12 18
UCF GT Wake Duke Pitt Cincinnati UConn BC Syracuse Memphis Tulane Houston SMU Baylor TCU BYU Cal Stanford

Yep the ACC doesn't need to drop itself down further by dragging Big 12 dead weight along.

The small market, low revenue schools would drag this big mess down just like they do now.
If the higher revenue schools left the others behind and created a new conference, you might have something. But that won't happen.
TV revenue PER SCHOOL is what matters, not total revenue.

It doesn't change the fact the Big 10 and SEC still hold the majority of top programs and $$$. You just grouped all the second-tier programs. Now it will be easier for media to call it Div 2.

I don't think most of those matchups would out-rate Green Acres reruns on the TV land network.
