I've had a moment of clarity. While I was in the pro Big12

camp, after my moment I now believe moving will be a huge mistake and ultimately cooler heads will prevail and no moves will be made.
The Clemson alumni base is right smack in ACC country and ultimately the move won't be made due to that. Enough of the quiet majority will let it be known they don't want to move as this story gets more main stream coverage.

Of course Big 12 move would be a HUGE mistake

and would be one studied in a few years at business schools across the land.
As the FSU president laid out, the reasons to move are very few and far between and it would erode so much that is offered by the ACC.

The answer is improving the ACC, that does not mean

"OH WE GET Penn ST and ND" that isn't happening.
That does mean more schools need to improve and the conference needs to focus more on football. There are enough schools that care, they need to form a block and fight for it. Clem/FSU/GT/Miami/VT maybe even BC and Pitt care more about fball then bball.

of the ACC ... and that's not going to happen. Based upon WIlkin's comments, I believe Clemson's gone.

I think this will be finalized before it receives...

main stream coverage. At this point, all the denial leaves the news to be nothing but rumors. While most sports broadcasters report rumors they make sure to tag them as just rumors.
I'm rilly trying not to be contentious.

Way too late. It's obvious from David Wilkins' comments

we're on our way already. He would have come nowhere near what he said on the record to David Hood if we weren't already gone.

How will it be a big mistake if FSU & CU both leave...
May 25, 2012, 9:58 AM

and lets say the Big XII adds GT, NC st., Lousville, and ND also...do you still think it would be a big mistake? Would it be a bigger mistake to stay in a depleted ACC?
Not flaming, I'm just curious.

It's somewhere between going steady and marriage.

You are right about that. There is quite a distance between the security of what you know and the void of the unknown. I expect the BOT/board of advisors will explore all this gap.

Then how do we make up the money gap with SCU?

Answer that little question, then I might be on your side. It's all about dollars. And NO, Notre Dame is not riding in to save the ACC, won't happen.

it is curtains for the football program. At least that is the way it looks right now. Sure, some development could happen that would change our minds (i.e. ND and PSU come to ACC), but that doesn't look likely. Regardless, with the way things look right now, how could you possibly not want to jump?!
