Take out every other argument. I think it comes down to money. Does SU accept 10million in annual revenue, or a 40million payout in a National conference. And, unlike WV, we still will have our nearby travel partners.
The gap wouldn’t be that large. It would be like $30M vs $20M, maybe $15M.
If we keep the ACC six together we get to split 8 exit fees. That is a significant amount of money. Better to have that cash now to invest in the program vs a non significant amount yearly in the B12.
Travel costs would be a lot cheaper.
Attendance revenue would be higher. Our fans won’t care about those B12 schools. Also we will be a worse team, SU fans need Ws to show up.
FB playoff money payouts are 2x higher in the ACC.
We can actually make the playoffs from time to time and have a good shot at the ACC CG. We get buried in the B12.
In an ACC we play on the East Coast were easier to engage with fans and alumni. We also would be group with very like minded schools.
It seems like a no brainer to build back better along with GA Tech, Duke, Wake, Pitt, BC, ND.
