Not a new idea, I floated the idea before, just dint think it had much of a chance. "The seven" is referring to the Magnificent 7: FSU, Clem, UNC, UM, NCSU, VT, UVA. Nice to see someone with a bigger platform float the idea, maybe it gains traction and it happens.
The article mentions Clemson has been working behind the scenes the last several months to file their own suit vs the ACC. Remember that the Magnificent 7 started with FSU and Clemson, then Miami and UNC, then the others. Perhaps there is more with us than against us.
I saw that, too. I think they suggested including Louisville to get to 8 teams, minimum.
That group would be almost as valuable as the entire ACC, and could pull teams from both the ACC and the Big XII to get to 12 if necessary. There's your P3.
I'd prefer this than to see the SEC and B1G cherry pick the ACC. I'd hope that a spinoff conference leaves enough for the ACC to soldier on.
ACC - UNC, Duke, Wake, UVA, BC, SU, / SMU, Cal, Stan, Utah, OSU, SDSU
MagC - FSU, Clem, GT, NCSU, UH, Tulane / Miami, Pitt, VT, UL, WVU, Cinci
Interesting choices, for sure.
I must assume the "OSU" in the ACC must be Oregon State. I suppose you are leaving Oklahoma State in the Big XII, then?
