Somebody gets the "you're about to get cut" conversation.

"Hello, Vandy. You know, son, I've really enjoyed seeing your progress over the last few years. It's inspiring how hard you've worked....... but not everyone is meant to play SEC ball......."

I can't ever see the SEC throwing a school out.

Where would they go? No room in the SEC.

I think the ACC will go by the wayside. The SEC and B1G will make the most money and be able to afford higher player salaries. Clemson’s glory years are behind them. Maybe they’ll cut all sports except for football and basketball in order to compete.

Unless they can beat a Longhorn or Sooner…then you have to register them as dangerous. Big 10 would make more money off that fanbase than Mizzou…without driving an extra mile. It’s a done deal.

Now if we could work out some 3way trade with the B10 and ACC, Mizzu to B10, ND fully to ACC and either FSU or Miami to the SEC I'd take it.

I am all for Texas and OU, but totally against FSU and Miami. Why would we throw them a life raft? They don’t really bring any new markets and incremental value.

I don't see the ACC going away. In the end it will be the SEC, ACC, B10 and Pac12 standing.

Yeah but I bet there are also a lot of B10 alumni that live there also.

Yeah? So why would Baylor get em all stirred? Still ain’t their team. A Michigan fan in DFW isn’t more apt to go to a Northwestern road game in Waco. Baylor had to be packaged into the Big 12 by Faye Granger in a side deal because of their lack of impact. Ames is right down the road from almost every Big 10 campus.

I don’t want FSU or Miami. Gainesville’s enough.

Those alumni would get to see their teams come to town plus Baylor would be pertinent. Just more eyeballs on the B10.

They won’t go away but they won’t make enough money to compete in an era of paying college athletes. The NCAA is unraveling and the conferences will set their own rules. The budget impact of having to pay players (and comply with title ix) is going to be tremendous. And they’re going to be at a huge disadvantage to the point they won’t be competitive.

Waco isn’t “in town”. It’s a nice hike…midway to Austin. Meh.

If the B1G gets ND, I don't like the ACC's survival chances. Duke will fade even quicker without Coach K, UNC is trying to become a football school, not a basketball school.

Even if they get to 16 schools, beyond Clemson, right now, they're pretty useless. Like Texas and Oklahoma....... better to leave the sinking ship with dry feet than wait and swim away.

UNC doesn’t know how to become a football school. UNC football will fade fast once Mack leaves.

Where do you get that the schools will be paying the athletes?

It’s doesn’t really matter. They have a lot of fans in major markets. If the quality of the football team mattered the B1G wouldn’t be talking to Kansas

Kavanaugh wrote a separate opinion on the NCAA case regarding educational benefits which said that universities cannot withhold revenue generated by their sports teams from those players. He even went as far to suggest a collective bargaining system to determine pay. It’s 100% going to happen and the implications are going to be massive. The timing of this Texas announcement isn’t coincidence I don’t think. These decisions are all about making more money in order to deal with the costs of paying players.

When the players become employees of the schools all bets are off, I could see a whole bunch of universities dropping athletics altogether.

ACC and the B10 will pick up a couple schools to match the SEC.

With the NCAA model imploding, the shift to super-conferences that will contract/deal directly with the networks (in all facets) was inevitable. The conferences will end up assuming most of the duties currently (sorta) administered by the NCAA.
