As it stands now from a revenue and stability standpoint, we have a P2, the 3 next tier conferences, and the G5.  Out of the 3 next tier conferences, the Pac 12 is falling apart, the ACC's best assets want to leave and may when the GORs are up, and the Big 12 is the most stable and highest revenue generator of the 3.  The Big 12 is the most stable of the 3 next tier conferences because none of their schools are viable candidates for addition to the P2 (except maybe Kansas).  Two years ago, the Big 12 was on its deathbed, but they recovered.  As it stands now, it looks like the Big 12 may become the strongest of the next tier conferences.  My guess is that the Pac 12 ultimately merges with the MWC after most of their key schools move on.

What does this mean for Syracuse?  Around 2032, ACC schools might start looking around for their next landing spot with some schools attractive to the Big 10, the SEC, and the Big 12.  I don't think Syracuse will be a potential candidate to join the Big 10 or the SEC, so the choices could be to reconstruct a new ACC or try to get into the Big 12.  So, Syracuse should become friends with as many Big 12 schools as possible.
