HOW???!

How does a good #3 prevent a breakaway? Just saying it, does not make it so. You have typed nothing thus far. You have provided no supporting logic. You just say "it does." And if you need a strong #3 (which is silly) why does it matter if it is the B12 or ACC? If FSU goes to the B12, is it not the same thing?

The B18 and SEC can breakaway now. What do they care if FSU is the best team in the lower division? Do you think Alabama is impacted in anyway by North Dakota State's success? Clemson can win 10 FBS titles in a row and no one in the P2 sub division will bat an eye.

Capitalism is not pure greed, so you are misusing the word. Also these moves haven't been pure greed. The B18 would not have added some of the teams they did, and they would be looking to vote out some of the current members. That will not happen. They also won't go away from even distribution.

If there was pure greed like you claim, the Top 20 or so schools would break away from the B18 and SEC. If that were to happen, it would not matter one iota how strong the ACC was. Being the 3rd best conference wouldn't stop a Super league from forming. You are rearranging the deck chairs here.

Uneven payouts should be a NON factor. I am sure that FSU and Clemson would like that, but the other dozen teams in the league have ZERO incentive to agree. What incentive does Wake have to prop up FSU and Clemson while making their own team worse? Why even be in the ACC making $15M a year when you can be in the B12 and make $30M a year with even distribution?
