I would swap NC in there. They would be coming with the Jordan brand as well. And a better football history as well

Miami (and their 5 National Championships), is in one of the biggest TV audience areas...South Florida... and one of the biggest recruiting areas... IF the BIG12 was lucky enough to get them they would be a marquee team. Think again.

GA Tech provides access to Atlanta, closer to Central Florida, and have a decent history with basketball and football, Louisville and Pitt locks in nicely with WVA and Cincy and the basketball centric Big12. Then VATech because NCSt is likely a partner with UNC more so than VA and VATech.

@@jayjohnson7646 Wishful thinking. UNC is not going to the Big12. They'll have their choice of the SEC and B1G. The absolute only way they end up in the Big12 would be if the Board of Governors of the UNC system forces a package deal of UNC/NCSU onto the SEC/B1G and they don't bite. And if the board did that, they'd be costing Carolina tens of millions of dollars every year. Not sure they'd be willing to do that to a university of UNC's stature. Carolina's own board of trustees also holds some sway. Personally, as a big college basketball fan, I'd rather see the Tar Heels in the Big12, but I really don't see it happening.

Miami gets good TV ratings. That's all that matters here. I hate to say it but nobody cares about attendance or competition when these decisions are made. It's strictly about TV because that's the main source of revenue.

yup duke is screwed

Exactly, NC State is a bigger FB school than Carolina and Duke…and the NC university will never allow Carolina and NC State be split in conferences b/c the 120 year rivalry

I can't imagine any scenario where the Big12 takes Syracuse. If the Big12 really wanted to play in the NY area they would take UCONN which is closer to NYC, has elite basketball, and quite frankly a football program this isn't much worse.

@@michaeldavis2966 Agree and if UConn had Big 12 money, they could at least start a rebuild of football.

Were you dropped on your head as a child.

Stanford isn't going back. Their plan is to latch onto ND and pray for the best. The Pac 2 are hoping their NOT the ones that have to build a new conference, they are still praying for a spot.

Taking 10 would put the Big12 at 26, not 24, and I don't think the conference would want to get that big.

With the financial disparity there is no leverage, the gap only gets wider each year .

$$ and location.

Good point. I think it is because of who they used to be and hoping they can return to that.

@@WhosBoskoNIL might actually work in miami's favor $$$

It's not about attendance because that revenue just goes directly to the school anyway, and Miami's attendance will always suck as long as they play in that NFL stadium an hour away from campus. It's not even about on-field performance and winning. It's about TV viewership. That's what ALL this is about. And the fact is Miami does still get TV ratings.

Money, recruiting, interesting matchups, they recruit well and will draw a lot of hype, rivals with WVU and others that could be added

Of those schools you mentioned that are possible additions, not stellar football schools other than Tulane maybe and USF sometimes. That list would be more of a basketball thing. Oregon St and Wash St are gonna join MWC and bring the MWC the Pac 12 rights.

@@netdragon256 I think Memphis is a much better football program than Tulane and USF in many ways. The MW is not the first option for the PAC 2 because it has too many dead weight teams in it. It will be interesting to see what finally happens.

Possibly but I think they'd prefer to be in a higher profile conference and be associated with Big12 basketball more than the Big East. They'd get more national exposure and higher viewership plus the Big12 has multiple religious schools already and seems to work well with them. Plus the Big12 could provide a scheduling agreement in football if ND was open to it, where they could still maintain their independence and play who they want but have a couple match-ups a year with Big12 teams across the country.

@@michaeldavis2966Notre Dame is NOT going to the B12. They can make more by being independent. Secondly, Notre Dame is Catholic. It is not Baptist or Mormon and has zero in common with TCU, Baylor or BYU. Notre Dame just received AAU membership so it can easily move to the B1G if and when it wants to do so. What reason do you think makes ND interested in the B12???

@@Jimmy-sj9ny1. I never said they were going to the Big12. I simply responded to a comment giving my opinion which would be more desirable out of the two options. I don't in any way think they are joining the Big12. 2. Obviously they would stay independent for football. I never said they wouldn't. But they are currently part of a conference for other sports (the ACC) and if that conference no longer existed, where would they go? 3. They have a lot in common. A shared belief in a higher deity, being Jesus Christ. They operate as religious institutions and would find an openness to accept them as such in the Big12 whereas other conference (the PAC when it existed for example) have expressed disdain for affiliating themselves with religious institutions. 4. You are correct, they could move to the BIG anytime they wanted to but they have thus far expressed no interest in doing so. In fact, the whole point of the original comment was to explore what would happen if they wanted to remain independent in football (which they continue to express that desire) but want to continue to affiliate themselves with a conference in other sports if the ACC no longer exists.

🤣

No one cares what the Bible says... people hate the truth...

Deuteronomy 32:35 . It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.”

FSU and Clem aren't ever joining that loser conference 🤣 you're a 🤡 if you don't think those 2 haven't already been assured they have a legitimate landing spot you're kidding yourself.

@cgiii2440 what are you talking about? Nothing you said made sense....All I said was after FSU and Clemson go to either Sec or B1G to which they already know or have assurances that they'll land somewhere in the P2, the big 12 and ACC and big 12 need to either merge conferences or become irrelevant mid major conferences. If you can't understand that, lord help you!

Socialism at its finest. I wouldnt pay anything. Show me 3 colleges in the ACC that have actively tried to win in football besides FSU and Clemson.

NW POD Wash St Oregon St Cal Colorado SW POD Utah BYU Arizona Arizona St CENTRAL POD Iowa St Kansas Kansas St Oklahoma St SOUTH POD Baylor Houston TCU Texas Tech NE POD West Virginia Louisville Cincinnati Pittsburgh SE POD UCF Miami GT Duke Play own pod each year plus one team from each other pod on a 4 year rotation.

Haven't decided if there going shopping yet , where have I heard that before lol some way they need to get together

❤Memphis before USF, Tulane and U Conn. I think all of them get in the ACC.

@@rayrayrivers6135 I actually don’t think Memphis gets the invite at all. Certainly not before the ones I listed

Wishful thinking buddy. ACC is scared to sh** of discovery.

Also don’t forget ESPN can shut this down if they opt out of extension passed 2027. Why people keep ignoring that

Also FSU will be getting out of ACC. ACC doesn’t want to go to discovery lol😂

​@@noles9998semenhole

FSU and Clempson will get out but they will pay a lot. Why would the ACC be scared of discovery? The GOR is pretty airtight

Pitt and Louisville are likely Big 12 adds; the B1G could pick up FSU, GaTech, UNC and ND.

@@jamesknapp64 UVA, UNC to BigTen.. Clemson, FSU, NC State, VTECH to the SEC Pitt, Louisville, Miami, Georgia Tech to Big12?…

Do not bet on anything please... you aren't good at it...save your money ❤

@@dacokc There's rumors that Texas A&M might be looking at the B1G because of Texas joining the SEC

@@Mike-vw8kk other than UT, aTm is the best get for the BigTen. Would be massive for the BigTen.
