ACC - Big East Merger?

[CL82]

Meanwhile Greg Flugar says there's secret conference realignment meetings set to happen on the East coast...

Non football schools are slowly, but surely, being eliminated from the “major” scene. Thank you NIL.

Might as well

Not a crazy idea.Big East is going to struggle on its own and ACC may do the same.

I don't see a 28 mega conference working for basketball.

What might be more likely -- although again this is throwing darts -- is a bunch of the football schools in the ACC join some league with Uconn (with football) and a selected group of other Big East teams that don't play football but which the ACC wants for basketball and other sports. And what happens to the "leftovers" in that scenario.

Btw Coach K and Pitino are no doubt long time friends. So when they both publicly advocate for this in unison.....
