I thought I saw some stat sheet, posted here or on another site and possibly by MSqueri, regarding Stanford's ratings appeal and we were somewhere in the middle ground, surprisingly ahead of some of the bigger state schools for viewer (and advertiser) interest. Maybe our prospects became dimmer because we tied ourselves to Kal.

I could be way off, but I don't think any current ACC team ends up in either the SEC or B1G. Only FSU brings along any kind of national following in 2025, and they are not worth the headache.

That said, I think most ACC schools would leave for the Big XII if there's one more penny to be made, and I think the Big XII would consider it an honor to overpay for the privilege of killing off the ACC. I suspect FSU, Clemson, UNC and NC State all are part of the Big XII before the end of this decade.

If Big 12 overpays for ACC teams, it would hurt the payout of the current members. Hard to see that happening. I don't see those four schools seeing the Big 12 as an upgrade.
