These ACC schools will look to the B1G first and foremost. The B1G media deal for 7 years/10 billion dollars is massive. Being on Fox, NBC and CBS is also VERY appealing!! This doesn’t even include the research funding the B1G conference gets, which absolutely dwarfs any other conference. The B1G will expand first and add Florida St, North Carolina, Duke, Virginia and Miami. Once that happens, Notre Dame will literally have no other choice and join the B1G…Finally. After that, the SEC takes Clemson, NC State, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Louisville.

The B1G then goes back to a more regional based alignment.

B1G East:

Penn St
Rutgers
Maryland
Virginia
North Carolina
Duke
Florida St
Miami

B1G Central:

Ohio St
Notre Dame
Michigan
Michigan St
Indiana
Purdue
Illinois
Northwestern

B1G West:

Wisconsin
Iowa
Nebraska
Minnesota
USC
UCLA
Oregon
Washington

The SEC will get to 24 members as well and do a similar type of alignment. None of these schools will choose the SEC over the B1G first. That’s just not gonna happen. There’s simply toooooo much media $$$$$ upcoming in the B1G. That’s just a fact. Not an opinion. Why would any ACC school choose to take less money?? Makes zero sense. Anyway, after both conferences get to 24 members each…welcome to the “CFP Top 48” era!!! Has a nice ring to it and makes tons of sense.

The SEC has only offered full shares, the B1G has offered reduced shares to the PAC schools, you sound like an unhinged homer

because it's the cold arse boring big 10… No kid from the south wants to play in the north if he can play in the SEC. The SEC is a selling point to schools… Which is why Oklahoma and Texas went that direction.

It would be a disaster for Florida State recruiting to play in the Big Ten
