Auburn to ACC?

Vandy is obviously just along for the ride at this point, but I do wonder what happens to a school like South Carolina that loves football, but is gonna be around .100 in conference games for the foreseeable future and not gonna make any bowls unless they have an OOC slate full of absolute nobodies. What happens to their program when attendance/interest plummets. Do they leave on their own? Does the conference force them out for not pulling their weight?

This is why we should just be doing a tiered system with Pro/Rel.

They have been in the SEC for 30+ years and never won the east. That doesn't mean they don't have occasional exciting football, and usually play other teams close. They might have even been leading the defending national champions for 3 quarters this season. You're going to be waiting a long long time for "attendance/interest to plummet"

College football is anything but static and there is always an ebb and flow.

I wouldn't put anything past anything now.USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington to the BIG10? Cal and Stanford to the ACC? Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC?

If the money were even, why wouldn't Florida join Miami and FSU in the ACC? Auburn make a short trip to Atlanta every other year? Auburn make a short trip to FSU every other year? Not the worst scenario for them

have said this elsewhere, why would the auburns and usc's of the conference vote to let texas and ou in? makes it harder to reach the top. some say because it increases their payout. who cares if you're killing your chance of winning conference? you know who cares - the coaches, ADs and admins who are going to reap the benefit of higher payout. forget the fans and players enjoyment. always follow the money. also just so happens admins are the ones with the voting power.

If the ACC could somehow increase its payouts close to the SEC, something like this wouldn't be far-fetched. It would give schools like UF and AUB something to think about. If you were to take the northern and western Schools out of the ACC, you basically have an SEC like conference that's all east of the Mississippi. I'd be for UF, TN and AUB joining the ACC to help make a mega conference before the SEC does.

Isn't the new Auburn coach one of the ones so many Tech fans were demanding we hire last year? He MIGHT turn things around at Auburn, but I don't think he would have done any better a job this year than Key has done. I am completely satisfied with the choice we made.

Better chance of Notre Dame joining The Big Sky conference. Whoever wrote this article is just clearly trying to get a rise out of Auburn fans— the notion is a complete joke. Auburn would never, ever, ever, be that stupid.

Not stupid if a coup is thrown with Auburn/Florida/Tennessee. Hell, disband the ACC, have Clemson, GT, FSU, Miami, UNC and possibly VT hop aboard a new league. Longshot, but college football is going to have to have a come to Jesus moment.
 
What abou a trade - auburn and vandy for clemson and fsu plus cash? How much cash is hard to say but anaylze the change in revenue in tv, attendance and cache and split it. Transition payments between the schools would also need to be negotiated. I know as likely as warring in the Mideast to stop in the next 250 years but if it gets us money and rid of malcontents then do it.

The "come to Jesus" moment isn't far off. TV networks, especially ESPN/Disney, are behind the lunacy of conference "realignments" and that situation is a slow moving train wreck happening before our very eyes. IMHO, just a matter of time.

I know it's California dreaming but adding Auburn, Florida and locking in Notre Dame would make for a helluva conference. Would also have the nice side effect of cementing the SEC as a hick conference.
