ACC, PAC-12, and BIG alliance / conference realignment

[Orangefizz]

I'd wait until 2028 or so and reachout to the Arizona twins, Utah and Colorado. Oregon State and San Diego St as alternates.

For east coast alternates: USF, UCF, Yukon, WVU, Cincy and maybe FAU.

If they ACC loses 1 NC team do not replace with a NC team. 2 or more leaving...maybe look at ECU.

Unfortunately the only teams I see from the ACC not finding a home are BC Syracuse Wake Forest and SMU. Our best chance is with the big 12, but I’m afraid we’re behind Louisville and Pitt

I think we need to hope that North Carolina goes to the SEC because if they go to the Big Ten they’ll bring along Duke UVa Georgia Tech and Miami

What is the thought on adding a team like UNLV to the ACC mix now that we are out west. San Diego State and of course poaching the AZ teams in a few years to build a true West Coast presence.

We need a west coast division of the ACC….wait a minute….what??

The ACC is always going to be in the third position. The Network is built out and successful. There will be strong teams that stay, and good programs added. I believe that we will grow in Florida as a replacement for FSU. I doubt that we add more than one Florida school. I expect us to add another program from Texas and 2 from the West. Houston, AZ duce, Utah, CU, Cincy, and USF, or UCF are all great choices. At the end of the day the ACC will retain two auto bids which is fine. As long as SU has a path to the championship series I'm good.

SU would go to the Big Ten in that scenario as long as we take care of business the next few years.

But wouldn't not being a member of the AAU be a problem? [Thanks Nancy]

Im not sure it used to be. Are UCLA and Oregon members?

Oklahoma to the B1G. Unless things change.

SU is presently more valuable than several other schools. Don't overvalue several paper tigers. The B1G and SEC know that once the paper tigers face a steady stream of top level teams the losses will rack up and the "fans" of paper tigers will dissipate.

Take a look at who has fans during the lows as that is the floor for a team. SU has decent numbers when we have been down for some time.

Just my take.

Yes, they both are. I believe all current members of the B1G are, except Nebraska, who was when it became part of the B1G but is not longer a member of the AAU. I believe Nebraska left the AAU around the same time that Syracuse did. NC, Duke, Virginia, Georgia Tech, and Miami (recently) are members of the AAU. As is Pitt.
