If the ACC, ND, USC, Pac12, and Big10 work together on this.


The ACC must have ND and USC.
Then offer the B1G any or all of the remaining AAU schools.
The ACC would then promise to have a home for the rest. Non AAU schools Arizona State, Oregon State, Wazzu. We also will take Stanford (for ND) with promise that the Cal-Stanford and USC-UCLA, ASU-UA, UO-OSU, UW-Wazzu games will be preserved in OOC.

That would put the ACC at 20 and the B1G at 21 (with ACC getting Stanford); or 19 and 22 with Stanford staying Pac12-B1G. The ACC could add some BigXII members too (ND loves a Texas opponent?). And who knows, if the map disappears on the SEC, they might even take a few teams that they hadn't planned on: WVU? Kansas?

This would solve many problems.
-Pac teams need Eastern exposure. This will give it to them. Saves all members.
-ACC needs to survive. This may do it.
-This clears the brush for the BigXII leftovers and gives them the chance at a P3 conference or at least shows them the certainty and clarity of the scene.
-I do think the SEC wants to keep a regional flavor. But the ACC and B1G should be trying to go transcontinental.
-ND stays away from B1G and has far more control over its own affairs.
