Neither the B1G nor the SEC have added more than 2 teams at a time. I think we will need to go through a few more rounds before we see the end game.

I think both conferences want UNC. I think that will be the first domino. I could see the loser then take 2 other ACC teams. That would put the ACC down to 13.5 schools. None of what is leftover will be able to afford leaving before 2036.

Potentially there could be a 2nd wave of B1G/SEC adds in 2036.

Then the ball is in ESPN's court. If they want to keep the ACC together, then the ACC can build with those 13.5 to at least 14 if not more. Otherwise teams will look toward joining the B12.

If SU is left behind, IMO I rather see SU in a 10 team all sports conference. Even if it means less money than the Franken 12. My 2nd choice would be the Franken 12 for FB only and then a 10 team conference for all other sports. I want most of our road games in conference to be regional, and I want a round robin schedule. Going to the B12 for all sports would not be attractive to me.

Also IMO these super conferences make it harder to be successful. There is too much competition which leads to parity. Having parity is nice when it isn't your team being held back.
