How many schools are in the Big "10"? I am a fan of the sport and I would have to look it up.

We should be on the phone with Clemson, fsu, and Miami right now and apply to the SEC. Package deal.

They would just say "OK Miami, we will take you" and give the middle finger to the others. Then they might call up UNC and invite them as a middle finger to Clemson. The SEC could make UNC much more powerful than Clemson and could dry Clemson on the vine, if they so choose. Just look at what happened to GT in the '60's and 70's. Bring UNC in and the SEC shuts Clemson down. No NC recruiting, UGAg gets choice Georgia recruits. Tennessee competes for recruits. USuCk does anything to weaken Clemson in state.

The only one I would take would be Miami and UNC, if I were the SEC
 
You’re all overly-pessimistic and over-emphasizing recent football incompetence leading you to miss the bigger picture. Your mindset is “well, we’re not as attractive as USC, therefore we have no chance and will be a mid-major in short order”.

No, morons. You have to look at who our competition is for the remaining spots. UVA? UNC? The Big Ten already has Maryland for the DC area and UNC is just a weaker version of what we have to offer. Neither one would move the needle, they’d join the Big Ten and then literally everyone would forget they were there in an hour. You guys talk like UVA and UNC are behemoths of college football because they’ve been better than us for a handful of years, but the reality is that we still have a stronger football brand than they do in the eyes of 99% of the country.

The Big Ten might add 1 or 2 more western teams and then their only other place to look is the south where we are the most needle-moving of their options. Yes, Atlanta matters in this regard. I’m as negative Nancy as they come but you’re all seriously underestimating GT’s chances here. When they were both still small, the Big Ten added Rutgers and Maryland and the SEC added Missouri, and you think GT has no shot at getting into either when they’re a full superleague? Grow up, pessimism for the sake of pessimism doesn’t make you smart.

To be a school with so many smart and outstanding people , we have made some really dumb decisions ( pulled out of the SEC and said No to the Big 10 a few years ago)

The folks who made those decisions did not attend Georgia Tech.

It looks like Oregon and Washington are on their way in as well, so they will end up with a west pod at least.

And then Cal and Stanford will join as well. And now ND has no reason not to be Big Ten.
 
Will the ACC survive?
The only thing currently keeping the ACC together is the league’s grant of rights.

In 2016, the ACC Council of Presidents unanimously agreed upon the current rights, which run through 2035-36 and stipulate that an ACC school’s media rights remain with the conference through that period regardless of membership status. Also in 2015, the ACC struck a deal with ESPN through 2035-36.

One ACC administrator pointed out that the grant of rights hasn’t been challenged in a court of law, but that they seem “pretty airtight.”

“Could that change?” the administrator added. “Maybe.”
