Four ACC schools are reportedly finalizing a deal to join FSU and Clemson in the Big 12 according to long-time college football radio host Greg Swaim -- who claimed that the Big Ten and SEC won't be adding new members anytime soon.

"Working to verify a report from two staffers that at least four ACC schools have agreed in principle to join Clemson and FSU in their exit, and likely to the Big12," Swaim prefaced before saying, "Also continuing to hear unanimously that the B1G and SEC will not be adding anytime soon."

I don’t know why you’re laughing.  ACC would then raid AAC and we’re not going as long as the school you’re laughing at is in it.

I agree....but "IF" that played out for NT wouldn't it be a kick in the gonads for Smut...

Yes, but I care about UNT above all else.  We would lose the top half of AAC and end up back in CUSA effectively.

That's a different article with a different source.

This new story was sparked by a radio host posting on X that he was "working to verify a report," which is such a mealy mouthed way to put information out there that it made me cry into my UNT journalism degree.

Wasn't there a conference realignment thread dedicated to rumors/speculation?

There's a whole forum dedicated to it.  Maybe one of the mods can move this thread there.

This article is dated July 13.  It's basically a re-hash of the same article/info, on the same link (glorycolorado.com), from the previous July 11 article.  Nothing new.  Click bait.

When the ACC implodes (and it will) this will directly impact the AAC and UNT football.

I could probably guess who those other 4 schools are... But if this happens then I do not see the ACC being rebuilt, I think the other power conferences will pick a couple remaining schools, just enough to prevent the ACC from ever being considered a power conference again.

How close is UNT to being an AAU school?

A few years ago when we were still in CUSA, Altimore Collins & Company released a report/analysis on conference realignment covering a broad set of categories (not just football wins) that play a part in determining which schools fit a conference's makeup.  In many ways these were areas important to university boards and presidents.

Here's a slide from that presentation.  It's not clear exactly what the relationship is between AAU status and New AAU status.  Is one the big league and the other the minor league?  Will the AAU expand beyond what it is now or will the New AAU take over?  The author doesn't seem to think very highly of the New AAU designation, but he listed those universities in green (including UNT) that carried the New AAU designation at the time.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but he went out of his way to question the legitimacy of fellow CUSA members FIU, UAB, UTSA and MWC UNM being on the New AAU list, yet didn't mention UNT at all.  Did he consider us more worthy than the other three for New AAU or not even worthy of a negative mention?  I take it as a good thing as there were plenty of other New AAU members he didn't zing, so I assume he felt we were part of that group.  You'll need to zoom in to read his notes/comments.

I'm as Mean Green-biased as they come, but a list that leaves out Princeton, Rice, and Northwestern in favor of UTSA, Arizona State, and Colorado State deserves serious skepticism.

Just asking, but how do you think the implosion of the ACC will impact UNT? I have not seen us on anyone's wish list.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      That was the key to each of the past 6 years, a clutch go-to player. We don't have that yet defined on this team. Players are starting to show their true abilities, and I hope Ross doles out minutes proportional to that. Lorient, Walker, and Massie are studs and should get max minutes. Others have been hot and cold.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      The offense is definitely still a work in progress. Our guards get stuck passing it around the 3-point arc to themselves and then launch a desperation 3. We set picks only to end up 5 feet away with the same guard dribbling covered by the same defender. What's the point? We drive the paint but become out of control and throw it up hoping to draw a foul. Sissoko backs down his guy in the paint several times and then misses a 3-foot shot. It gets old. Points off breakaways were our only offense last night. Better opponents won't allow that to happen. I get trying to drive the paint to draw fouls to go to the free throw line. McNeese did it to us and won the game on free throws because we are too handsy on defense sometimes. We built a 10-4 foul advantage on Oregon State in the 2nd half...then gave up 5 fouls in under 2 minutes as they drove the paint on us too.

      Earth to GMG

      Exactly, unless we are going to pay unrivaled G5 coaches salaries for proven coaches this is the way to go. Most people aren't in depth knowledgeable college football fans. And I sincerely believe that none of the coaches besides the top 20% really provide more value to the program than they are paid in salary. The Mean Green Football brand doesn't recruit well by itself. So either we need to get into a P4 conference or do something substantial over a 3 year period to change that. The extensions for Littrell was just stupid and we kept him an extra year to hire a clone just with some FCS head coaching experience. This program just does dumb stuff which makes all the losing insufferable. I know if were this bad at my job with clearly bad decisions creating these kinds of results year by year not only would I like lose my job. The company I am high up in the chain of command of would probably have massive layoffs. I do think if we could get a coach that has done something significant at P4 program South of Mason Dixon line in the past decade-15 year it might would worth paying 10%-20% more than what we normally pay. The opposite direction would be lowering ticket prices and playing just one "money game" a year and just hiring a "good coach" with "decent resume" like a Morris or Littrell.
