In Less Than A Decade…?

[HeavenUniversity]

In a decade or less, what conferences are Clemson and Florida State in?

I'mma be honest. I ... like ... 0% care anymore. There was a time this was a hot conversation topic for me, but now? Eh. Wherever's fine. Whatever's fine. It's all deck chairs on the ship now.

The way both programs are trending downward they'll be lucky to land anywhere outside the ACC.

I think the way things are going the SEC would prefer Miami at the top of the list for new members

I wonder which current SEC school, Florida or South Carolina, will fight harder to keep a second in state college from joining the SEC.

I would think the rest of the SEC would band together and give them an ultimatum. It will be a non-issue. 14 vs 2. The numbers aren’t in their favor. If they strong armed A&M into allowing Texas into the conference then Florida and South Carolina will be a cakewalk.

I doubt anyone in the conference gives a damn about South Carolina’s opinion.

They are an expansion team themselves so yeah the SEC doesn’t really care about them.

Still in the ACC

Nope. Clemson, North Carolina, and FSU all want out. As soon as the exit fee drops to $75M in 2030-31 it’s

Texas A&M was NOT happy about that. I have seen more than one podcast mentioning the Big Ten and Texas A&M have had talks. I am sure the Big Ten woukd live to have a school in a growing state of 30 million, plus a limitless supply of football and baseball players, as well as a solid basketball pool. I don’t know if it will be Texas A&M, but at some point, unless the Super League happens, the Big Ten will go into Texas. Maybe Texas Tech or Houston. Not sure about a Baylor or TCU.

A&M would instantly be a contender in the Big Ten so I would say that’s a smart move on their part. They would only have to recruit against a select few teams as opposed to at least 10 programs in the SEC that are fully committed. Much easier to manage a Big Ten schedule than a SEC schedule.

Disagree. ND will be a full time member by then. Everyone's happy

Notre Dame wants out of the ACC also. They will be Big Ten bound as soon as they can make it happen. The ACC will have to merge with the Big 12 teams. Not sure why you think that conference is in a great position to survive realignment but it isn’t happening lol

I think some of the current ACC schools end up in the Big 12, not all. Boston College, Wake Forest, Stanford, Cal and maybe even Syracuse are in trouble. Probably some sort of merger with The American ( the land of misfit toys) .SMU may say they will take no TV money for the next 100 years and squeak in.

It’s actually ironic the school that chose to take a pay cut compared to the rest of the ACC teams is turning out to be one of their shining stars. They earned about half of their conference revenue allotment from the CFP in 2024. They honestly aren’t a bad program to have in your conference. They wouldn’t be any worse than someone like South Carolina in the SEC.

My sentiments exactly
