It's Official....Stanford, Cal and SMU to the ACC.

Why not just do away with football conferences and let ESPN/FOX be footbal czars. Let them set the football schedules and distribute the money. All other sports play in regional conferences.

Probably where this is headed with FBS football separating from the NCAA.

I agree they will be part of "G whatever" but still the 5th best conference which is what will be important for playoff. Similar to what AAC has been for past 10 years...of course who knows what this does for MWC leftovers

MAC dug their little cave and burrowed in. A slow and painful death with the MACTION deal and that stupid GOR 20 year thing they threw at WKU and MTSU…way overplayed that 2/7 off suit hand. Even Jeep Judy wasn’t that stupid.

MAC could have crippled CDOA even further last year and boosted their status but nope.

The monopoly lawsuit isn’t far off.

Well if that happens, then make donors pay for the "student athletes'" tuition, books, meals, etc. Or hell, don't even have them as part of the school. Call them by the city in which they play with some other mascot name.

That will eventually come in some fashion down the road, but not without court challenges. The ultimate goal is to shed themselves of the bottom dwellers in their own conferences and create an entirely different classification of around 40 or less programs to create one super conference division.

It may take another facade, but that is and has been their ultimate goal.

I don't think it will be that many. I believe they are slow walking their way to a 40-50 team Pro league. The problem is nobody is driving this bus. You got ESPN and about 1000 mega donors at various schools that are trying to create Frankenstein. Just like Frankenstien, it won't work, and destruction will result.

Before we get to that point, they have to figure out, on the fly, what to do about NIL and the Portal and the eventual employees they will all have. I think players will be given a choice. You can either remain with the NCAA schools with a heavily policed NIL and Portal and your scholarship as your salary, or you can go to the Frankenstein league for a check and no rules. No school required.

It will all implode. In the meantime, let's enjoy REAL college football at the Old Lady, Cajun Field, one last time.

95% of the country does. But the bottom 10 loves them.

AAC now says they will not go west. So,, they lost SMU and add no one. Looks like MWC will get Wazzou and the Beavers under some name.
