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.

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?

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.

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?

Expand  

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.

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

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.
