If they do, then it opens the door for the ACC

If the B1G takes Iowa St and Kansas (and only them) then there will be six teams left from the B12.

That fits perfectly with the 14 currently in the ACC. Make a football only deal to add them and get the conference to 20. It may not be the biggest names but there is strength in numbers and in variety. That would be enough markets and enough teams to generate a new deal with ESPN.

Then let the B12 non-revs compete with American or Mountain West

B1G says it will only take AAU members unless ND wants to come (LINK) -- Stech 07/26/2021 9:14PM

This has always been the B1G's preference. -- HOO86 07/26/2021 10:44PM

They tried that before and it died because of our games with Stanford and -- goldendomer 07/26/2021 10:57PM

Not even an invite from the B1G to Kansas and Iowa State? ** -- Stech 07/26/2021 10:51PM

We'll see. I'm simply not impressed with Kevin Warren. -- HOO86 07/26/2021 11:05PM

He is disaster. Did you watch his media day? -- goldendomer 07/26/2021 11:39PM

I didn't watch, but Penn State fans weren't bashful. -- HOO86 07/27/2021 12:04AM

That has always been true. The only difference is that Big 10 just got one -- goldendomer 07/26/2021 10:18PM

ESPN could renegotiate and give us less money, they are likely using the -- Stech 07/26/2021 9:44PM

'according to reports'... they didn't actually come out and say that. -- LonghornHokie 07/26/2021 9:30PM

This story is out all over the wires now. AAU FBS members only -- 91HokieBob 07/26/2021 10:20PM

Written by a Michigan Insider so I think it’s very likely the case. -- Stech 07/26/2021 9:39PM

Some reports I've heard had B1G rejecting OU others say no. -- Maroon Baboon 07/26/2021 9:38PM

All the Pac-12 schools the B1G are interested in are AAU anyway. No biggie. ** -- Maroon Baboon 07/26/2021 9:26PM

Imho ACC will survive. Your thinking? ** -- MrFantastic! 07/26/2021 9:18PM

Used to have no doubt, but if Notre Dame doesn’t join, tons of doubt now. -- Stech 07/26/2021 9:33PM

I gotta think politicians and lawyers are going to go after this hard. ** -- hokieZ71 07/26/2021 9:45PM

Politicians then. Is Mark Warner a politician or lawyer? -- hokieZ71 07/26/2021 10:07PM

Warner no... -- DrHokie 07/27/2021 12:37AM

UVA with Bill and Alice Goodwin and John Casteen were with VT, this will be -- Stech 07/26/2021 10:36PM

Why are you just talking about VT and UVA. -- hokieZ71 07/26/2021 10:38PM

Because you brought up Mark Warner. ** -- Stech 07/26/2021 10:46PM

Well, that was about one specific school and conference expansion. -- hokieZ71 07/26/2021 11:01PM

Oh I get it, I just don’t think the politicians will stop what’s happening. -- Stech 07/26/2021 11:42PM

The University of Texas and Oklahoma will have good lawyers too. What law -- Stech 07/26/2021 9:49PM

They have a lawyer... -- IB4TECH 07/26/2021 10:21PM

Nothing can stop them. But they can impact ESPN -- HokieAl 07/26/2021 10:06PM

If they do, then it opens the door for the ACC
