The PAC is crumbling. I suspect the ACC will be next.

The Big 12 will hold on for a while, but I guess we're headed towards two mega conferences and an eventual break away from the NCAA. Minor league football, baby!

The ACC will be fine because they have their deal locked in, it’s when that deal comes up will be the question.

The Pac 12 comes down to Oregon and Arizona, and I think moreso Oregon and Washington, because Washington will do whatever Oregon does.

I'd expect an ACC core to survive for basketball reasons but who the hell knows what happens for football.

That would depend on if the Big Ten comes after UNC and Virginia.

Virginia Tech picked an inopportune time to go 25 years of being a top 25 program and then dropping off, or else they’d be in this.

Washington would do it regardless. They're much more old money than f***ing Oregon is, just less successful since the Uncle Phil era began.
 
Good to see Washington rowing is still carrying the load

We're still clinging to our natty from the year I graduated highschool. Maybe someday you'll be in a position to do the same!

I don't blame you if you don't remember those days, everyone in OR was a beavs fan then.

I’m not originally from Oregon but I’m starting to understand why U of W has the reputation they do. Was actually trying to compliment the UW rowing program as its history is remarkable

I don’t think they would leave and be an island, they would want someone to come with them.

Oregon doesn’t necessarily need that, if this all breaks down, they’re strong enough as a branded program to go independent if they have to, as long as they keep getting to play USC and UCLA.
 
It’s not the media rights deal that’s key for the ACC. Now that the true tectonic plates of CFB are moving, the question is what it costs Clemson and Florida St to get out of the Grant of Rights and how they weigh up potentially being left out.

The 120 MM number that keeps getting thrown out DOES NOT include the Grant of Rights. From Feb, when we got confirmation that Florida St asked: ESPN reporter reveals potential cost of Florida State leaving the ACC

ACC also has their media rights deal in place for a while. It’s just not very good because it was done in 2019 and thus first and goes to 2036.

Not in a million years would I have guessed you were being serious.

My pals and coworkers from Portland and I give each other (good natured) crap about these two teams regularly, seeing a comment about rowing of all things I figured you were talking smack like they do. My bad if you were serious. We can still agree on the Winterhawks right? :D

Florida St just keeps kicking everything in sight. :laugh:

We’re talking about a sum that could easily be in the 400-500MM range to completely extricate themselves from the ACC.


This goes back to our discussion a few weeks ago about Northwestern. They got an ever so important seat at the table set to make $90-100M in tv revenue going forward. Meanwhile you got top 10-15 brands in all of college football in the ACC stuck in between a rock & hard place making almost two times less than that in tv revenue.

That’s not me saying Northwestern will be a better job than the likes of Florida State, Clemson, etc. but rather to put into context the job isn’t nearly as unattractive as some make it out to be.

was definitely joking. When it comes to Oregon/UW football Im just a bystander though I will root for the ducks. I’ve got a buddy that hates W though and I was channeling his feelings.... like you eluded to with your friends.

I was definitely serious about the rowing though. “The boys in the boat” is an amazing read about the UW rowing team from the 1930’s. Their history is awesome.

Winterhawks all day! You are over in Vancouver, right?
