Yep, once the carcass of the Big12 is done being plucked, I think the ACC is next. UNC and UVA make sense with UMD in the BIG10, Clemson and FSU or Clemson and Miami to the SEC

The ACC will not die because of basketball.

I'm not sure basketball even matters. Duke can just go independent and do just fine and UNC and UVA to the Big Ten make it clearly the super power in basketball. Mark Turgeon might retire on the spot.

The ACC has spent a lifetime catering to UNC and Duke and because of that they will die.

Eventually if the conferences become so big it’s meaningless and they will have to split into sub conferences. In other words they just become little NCAAs.

the big money for basketball is the tournament which gets split up by the NCAA. The big money for football is conference TV rights and bowl games which get split by conferences. A basketball based conference will have every school with a viable football team trying to exit

I'm not sure that isn't the end game. Only those conference pack the schedules with each other and declare a champion based on their own playoffs and then maybe send their winner to play the other mega conference winner in a championship or 4 team playoff. Basically the same landscape that currently exists, but the scraps that get distributed to non-major or barely major conferences pulled off the table

But the ACC already doesn’t have many football schools. Just can’t see UNC or UVA joining the Big Ten.

It has Clemson which is enough to have valuable TV rights and to bring home a portion of playoff rights every year

They're not going to go down with the ship. Maybe UNC but UVA should not have any allegiance to the ACC.

I have a feeling the big conferences will split again at some point.  Once it is down to West (PAC 16) / North (B1G+ / South (SEC), someone will get the bright idea that they would have a better shot with a separate conference.  Also, once there's 3 conferences, you might see something like these conferences existing for football but having a separate conference for all other sports.  The NCAA gives a big incentive for smaller conferences in hoops and maybe in other sports.

I think the Big Ten wants UNC. But I don’t think they leave the ACC without Duke. Would the Big Ten accept Duke? We saw with previous expansions that UVA is tied to Virginia Tech.
ACCs best chance is to convince Notre Dame they need to join a conference.

I'm waiting for a few big conferences to decide to have their own basketball tournament. The NCAA gets the bulk of its revenue from march madness, at what point do the majors just opt out and have their own tournament?

I think you could have an equivalent football product without the non major conferences. I think the basketball product without the smaller schools would be noticeably inferior.

maybe, but does CBS $770 million a year for a tournament without the ACC/Big10/SEC/Pac12? Meanwhile, if those conferences got together, how hard would it be for them to top their take from march madness?

The charm on the ncaa tournaments is all the first round upsets and Cinderella teams. I don’t think the power five conferences are dumb enough to ruin that.

This is the classic case of synergy. I don’t think CBS pays that much for a tourney of just those four conferences. And since I bet that since tomorrow big conferences make 70-80 percent of the revenue anyway, any saving from excluding the little guys will be offset by losses in total revenue.
The little guys aren’t going to get equivalent value on their own either.

Toledo nearly beat ND in South Bend. They led for 3 quarters and then led again until 1 minute before the end of the 4th quarter.

In news that will delight me for days, Oregon went into Ohio Stadium without their best player and beat Ohio State.

I knew you would like that.  I wish I was back in Cincy so I could laugh at the OSU fanboys there.

Watching Miami struggle with Appalachian State.

Yeah. If you’re getting dogwalked by Arkansas, you’re going to have a rude awakening when you play a full SEC schedule.
