From the Pac-12 to the Big Ten to the Big 12, this is what we're hearing on college football realignment. 🔴 Live updates:
This has to go all the way back to February when they had that board meeting where athletic director Michael Alford went off about this issue. And really, it’s like fighting words, right? They are saying, ‘Hey, we are unhappy and we’re going to make a stink about it and you’re going to have to respond in some capacity.’
I feel like they think they’re going through the right channels to try to look at revenue and they’re not being heard. You see the reaction even in the comments today in the Board of Trustees meeting from a lot of people and you can understand exactly what that looks like.
That follow-up is, well, we’re going to continue to be loud about it.
Still, they don’t have a landing spot, but clearly, they’re getting closer to saying, well, maybe we’re just going to give notice to the ACC and bet on ourselves and whether that looks like, once we’re available, then maybe the Big Ten or the SEC or their media partners will want us or be interested in engaging with us; whether that means they’re going to try to band together enough ACC schools to try to break out so that the grant of rights is voided or go independent; I don’t really know what...
… August 15th is a key date for them in terms of leaving the ACC and giving notice so that they could be somewhere else the following year. That does not address the exit fee, the grant of rights, how much it would cost to get out of that or a landing spot. But that’s part of the reason they’re trying to put a little pressure and urgency around it, even though it’s just a lot of words right now.
