This seems like a potential missed opportunity if UVA and UNC end up in the SEC while the B1G was waiting on ND.

If the SEC gets to twenty with those 4, the B1G should immediately take Miami, Oregon, and Washington, and one other, (possibly out west to have a western pod of 5) and tout that we have a coast to coast and corner (Seattle) to corner (Miami) conference, while the other super conference is regional.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Scratch Aqua Velva and replace it with UVA. Correctamundo on UW/UO and then take Cal or Stanford (Cal my choice).

The NoCal schools were the first that came to mind when I talked about “one other, (possibly out west…”. If it comes down to choosing only one of them, it will be interesting to see who they take, and more interesting to see the fall out

The ACC needs to die but ESPN bought them a pretty jail cell with a noose in 2036 unless some drastic happens to break the GOR they are probably stuck together till the early 2030s staring out the window at all the Money the SEC/B1G is making wondering who's the dumbass that signed their life away for 15+ years just to get a joke of network that might as well be ESPN U

This makes a WHOLE lot more sense than that BN message board poster. Whatever ND decides, it makes a ton of sense that ND is going to be anal about their decision and do their due diligence to the Nth degree. Whether that's with the Big Ten or SEC or stand pat & play with themself (the latter of which they have turned into a fine art), they are not going to decide for a minute. For the Big Ten's continued expansion efforts with regards to teams other than ND, that doesn't seem to bode well. Lots will happen around the B1G while they are stuck in a "hurry up and wait" situation
The Big Ten should make a ton more sense to ND for a number of different reasons that have been previously discussed. But I sincerely hope they go to the SEC. The schadenfreude would be the most delicious thing on this earth

The last thing I want is ND in the sec. They are currently virtually irrelevant where they limp into a big bowl game and get embarrassed. I’d like to see it stay that way. Like it or not, the sec would give them a shot in the arm to come back, ala A&M.
That said the second to last thing I want is ND in the big ten. Go to the acc and stay irrelevant. Stay independent and irrelevant. Beating NDs ass in bowl games is a fun consolation tradition for the buckeyes.

From what I gathered ACC is afraid of people joining cause that'll blow up their Grant of Rights. Which as soon as that is gone all hell breaks loose cause ESPN has got them over a barrel on the TV contact. Now ND joinging might convince ESPN to renegotiate and they might get close enough the whole conference doesn't disintegrate around them. But FSU and Clemson probably want SEC at this point even if the money is close.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Question is what does ESPN do if Sankey is on the phone saying we can't wait 14 years before grabbing Clemson, FSU and a couple other ACC schools?
I'd assume that any fundamental reordering of the ACC from where it was when the GOR was signed would negate it. So take away the ND games, and that's the crack in the GOR. I think that espn and the SEC might be waiting to see if they get the easy out that way. Make ND the bad guy and get what they want on the cheap.

Ohio against the world.
I don't know if it will. There might be some stuff that happens with the Pac-12 schools who know they aren't getting an invite to the B1G, but I think the rest will wait and see. I can't imagine that ESPN is in a rush to break up the ACC just to pay the same schools more money in the SEC AND give others a chance to move to the B1G and Fox. I think they'll wait as long as possible too. Just my opinion.
