I was under the impression that the BIG 10 wanted Virginia and North Carolina but maybe not. If A&M gets the chance to get away from Texas's shadow once more by going to the BIG 10 they are gone.

Nebraska lost it's AAU status in 2011.   They are trying to get it back, but they are currently a Big10 member without that title.  

A$M won't leave the SEC for the Big10.  They have too many other rivals in the SEC.  They are a good fit in the SEC by geography and power sports. 

No mention in this blog about how the Big12 would unlock the ACC media rights jail.   

I hope the ACC does implode....just to watch the drama for $mut...

I think it makes total sense for A&M to head to the Big. Two instances have fueled this:

1. The non consultation that Texas was being invited and added. 
2. Their douchie baseball coach. This was not a slight per se because he was always going to Texas. But the lie on Monday and switch on Tuesday was terrible. Can’t support that dude. 

I don’t consider it running form Texas because it is an equally impressive move. USC Oregon Penn State the Ohio State university Michigan and Washington traversing into Kyle Field is juicy. Plus you dance with the devil that is Texas and you will be burned. I keep telling my LSU and Tennessee friends to just watch and beware.

Either way this would be good for the 12. That basketball league would be stout and football would be solid again with  replacing Texas and Oklahoma with Florida State and Clemson. 

Got to be honest I wouldn’t really want any of those leftovers. What a potential chance for the MWC and AAC to join forces to create an interesting lineup.

This is just silly clickbait.  Even the quoted origin of the story Ross Dillinger clarified that it was just speculation about all possible outcomes and it's the most unlikely possibility.  He rated "ACC kicks out lowest performing schools to make an 8 team conference", which is similarly contractually ridiculous

Where there is smoke, there is an upcoming ACC implosion soon .

He didn't call Florida State and Clemson joining the Big 12 the most unlikely possibility.

Here's what he said:

"I think there is at least early conversation between the Big 12 and those schools about the possibility. I don't think it's anything serious yet, cause they do have to get out of the ACC, whether that's through a settlement or a court ruling. So we could be months if not years from something. That does seem to be one of the possibilities ... is the Big 12." -- Ross Dellenger

I think the BIG 10 pays out about $8 to $10 million more annually than the SEC. Plus none of  possible projections of  MWC reaching out to the AAC for members that I have see include North Texas, but all include UTSA. I take the PAC 2 at their word, which is to build the best West Coast Conference that they can. This may change if the ACC implodes and those left behind think OSU/WSU look better than USF and Memphis.

He makes it further clear it's just idle speculation elsewhere I couldn't immediately find, but here's something

There's a number of ways the ACC could implode. The FSU to B12 route is about the most improbable you could imagine. It just doesn't make andy sense on many levels

It's informed speculation from a 10-year college football reporter who had just been at Big 12 media day. I wouldn't be so quick to assume that he knows nothing Jon Snow.

If true, common logic suggests that the ACC must expand their reach into Texas. If Jared hasn't called the ACC office countless times then I'm not sure what he's doing. 

In order to move to a stronger conference UNT must increase in value at least what that conference currently pays out annually to its existing members in media rights. We bring nothing to the table and are lucky be in the AAC.

The Big12 Commish is not shy about sending invites.  They tried to lure Duke basketball already. 

If the invite makes his conference move up the food chain he will try it.

Guess this is the first sign of condensing into one power league, not two.  The league that owns the Northeast is going to be the last one standing.  

You need to have the Big 10, SEC, and Big 12.  Each conference has 12 members…there’s your minor league system for the pros.  All other schools get back to playing college football.

They're all well beyond 12 right now. With other universities chomping at the bit to squeeze in. We need to be chomping at the bit. 

Even if the removal of the big brands from the ACC they will still carry some brand recognition and they're not going to just lay down. They'll be looking to backfill and move forward.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
