Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 283096, member: 27"] Even if they don't for football and men's basketball, I think the ACC will align in geographically based divisions for the other sports, which will keep travel costs for the schools at reasonable levels. If Clemson or FSU were to move to the Big 12, their travel costs would skyrocket. The lack of bridge schools between them and the rest of the conference create major roadblocks. Closest Big 12 cities to Tallahassee Austin 869 miles, 14 hours 9 minutes Stillwater 1004 miles, 16 hours 51 minutes Norman 1068 miles 17 hours 2 minutes Closest Big 12 cities to Clemson Stillwater 977 miles 16 hours 18 minutes Norman 984 miles 16 hours 25 minutes Dallas 904 miles 15 hours 14 minutes It will be brutal for teams or fans to drive and really expensive to fly.
