Reporting that Oregon and Washington to B10 for a 1/2 share of tv rights.  Arizona, ASU to B12.

Everyone jumping ship.  Now what happens to the ACC?  The grant of rights through 36 is quoted as the big sticking point and, maybe it is, but what if not?

Duke, UNC will find a home via their bball programs, probably in B10.  Not sure about Virginia.  ND probably just transfers their ACC deal to B10 (5 football games plus the rest of their sports).

So, here's the question, what happens to Cuse?  I just don't see a path for inclusion into a major conference.  Football/bball drive the decisions, and Cuse just don't move the needle.  Maybe Big East for non-football and ??? for football?  Add the leftover ACC (Cuse, BC, Pitt, etc.) to Big East and those play football.  Maybe have WSU, Stanford, Cal, OSU also.

Or maybe cut a similar cut rate deal in B10?  1/4 share just to be in a conference?

Basically, this all is just bad for Cuse.  Especially sports like lax.  Literally the tournament could be half B10 teams and 90% of the champions.  Not sure a lot of good recruits go anywhere else.

Best situation if ACC figures out a way to renegotiate for Clemson and FSU to keep them happy.  ND could be the calming factor that acts as the circuit breaker if they help ACC stay intact.

Will be interesting
