You do realize Stanford and Cal both already tried to join the B12 when the Pac 12 imploded right? The reason their in the ACC and not the Mountain West redux with Oregon and Wash state is 100% because of money. If you think their somehow above that you need a reality check of where D1 sports are in 2026.

Once the Acc starts losing a # of teams it will become unentable as a conference. UVA, UNC, Clemson, FSU leaving will cripple the conference and anyone who can possibly bail will. Perhaps the Acc can raid the B12 first or keep only 1-2 teams from bolting but if the 4 above leave, SU will also be looking to bolt.

To say 50 mill vs 10 mill is the same is absolute insanity. Again Syracuse cannot survive on 10 million a year conf money, this isnt 1992. The revenue coming in now from the conference along with fball and bball props up every other Olympic sport save for men's lax and even they need help. 10 mill a year would collapse the current SU athletics dept.

SU isn't just competing with its conference mates its competing with every other power school including the B10 and SEC.  What your describing, being happy to get 10 mill with its other left over conferences mates is like being in the MAC or Conference USA. Syracuse would become an also ran and attendance for the main 2 would absolutely crater. Thank god John Wildhack doesn't  think like that.
