Assuming this is a rhetorical question, I agree completely

The best description of this rumor is the picture in the original post
Yes - rhetorical because I think I know the answer but I maybe don't know the answer. I would GUESS that the ACC would be losing their 2 biggest programs, based on recent history, which would go to the Big 12, where they will be the 2 biggest programs, based on recent history. But maybe I'm wrong.

Sounds about right. The Big-12 seems to be evolving into the relegation league for whatever new top league the B1G and SEC put together, not that anyone will ever actually go for a relegation type system. On the bright side, ACC would also be losing what may be two of their worst academic programs.

Only Bill Gates had enough money to get divorced.
As of June 2024, Bill Gates's 2021 divorce from Melinda Gates is considered the most expensive divorce in history, with Melinda receiving $76 billion.

Bill and Melinda Gates Had One of the Most Expensive Divorces Ever -- A $130 Billion Net Worth and No Prenup Meant a Massive Settlement​

At the time of filing, Gates had a networth of $130 billion. Experts speculated that the divorce settlement would set a new record for its sheer magnitude.

The couple had a separation contract in place, though the details of this arrangement remained private, as they requested confidentiality during the process.

Filing for divorce in the state of Washington, known as a community property state, meant that all assets acquired during their marriage would be subject to a 50/50 split since there was no prenup. This legal framework added another layer of complexity to the divorce proceedings.

Details regarding the divorce were never made public, even after it was finalized. Sources reported that Melinda walked away with $76 billion, but it was not confirmed. Two years later, Bill Gates has a net worth of around $104 billion, according to Forbes.

Wait till those homies from Clumpson and Free Shoes find themselves in Lawrence or Manhattan in November.

Big Ten and Notre Dame want to get into state of Texas in realignment, covet Texas A&M​

Longtime college football radio host Greg Swaim reports that both Notre Dame and the Big Ten conference want to get into the state of Texas during the next round of conference realignment, leading to interest in Texas A&M.

"Why does the B1G and NotreDame both want TAMU as the second team coming in for the future? Because both the B10 and Irish want to get into Texas... it's just that simple," Swaim wrote on X.

Swaim reported back in April that the B1G will "definitely have a school in Texas by the 2026-27 academic calendar.

"Received an e-mail 10 minutes ago from our Chicago B1G source, that said 'The B1G will definitely have a Texas school by 2026,'" Swaim prefaced before saying, "As we reported months ago, TAMU and the B10 have been having serious third party talks for over six months."

Swaim first revealed his Chicago source's bullishness on a potential Aggies jump to the conference in March.

"Who are the next two teams to join the #B1G and make it the Big 20? Our terrific Chicago source tells us that he's hearing it'll very likely be Notre Dame (who has a perpetual invite) and TAMU, as the B1G wants to get into Texas and the Aggies are very unhappy with the addition of the Longhorns (duh?)," Swaim prefaced before saying, "Once again he reiterates there will not be any invites to non-AAU member teams, so doesn't believe FSU nor Clemson will get invitations.

"Certainly not expecting it soon, but the TAMU to the B1G rumor does have legs. More money, no Longhorns and Aggies being told if they make this move will have veto power if Texas tries to move again."

What if I told you that there will someday soon be a 32 team College Football "Super League" that will be funded by private equity (similar to LIVV Golf), and that I already know who most of the 32 teams are, and where they're ranked by this group?

Just sayin': I'd say you're full of shit!!!!
