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

Again... good luck getting fans of other teams to watch those teams if their team of choice is playing elsewhere.

As long as FanDuel and DraftKings still let you bet from your phone, fans of other teams will watch...lol

More than one write has posited that without gambling the NFL would have died off.

To add to my previous post, there may be pressure (from ESPN, FOX, whomever) for the SEC and BIG to drop their dead weight for TV purposes if they form their own league. Looking at you Vandy, Miss St, Rutgers, Purdue, etc... That would be interesting, would they drop schools who have been in the league for decades? Probably ($$$$)

I think that is when it gets interesting - when they tell Vandy and Northwestern and the like - he we love you but you are out. It's going to happen. Either they will set a budget limit for football or some other requirement that will drive the lesser programs out.
