More ACC/Big East merger talk
- Thread starter CL82
- Start date
Stupid idea. Partnering with football schools doesn’t work. Scheduling alliance makes sense. Wait for the ACC to blow up and take Syracuse and one or two others.
They will bolt after the 2030/31 season. The exit fee goes way down and the other three P4 media deals expire as does the BE’s media deal.

If it does happen, I hope it's not a merger but simply the Big East taking 2 to 4 of the best ACC teams remaing. We dont need a merger but they do.
Wait, wouldn't that still be "partnering with football schools"? In any event, even after the departure of big hitters from the ACC, the leftovers would probably make more money in a watered down ACC then they would in the Big East.
I don't think the math works, but, again this would be a good outcome for Connecticut because it results in a stronger, big east, and hopefully one with a better media deal, creates other football independents which helps us for scheduling.
For what it's worth Greenberg suggested decoupling basketball from football so that the ACC/Big East merger would be just for basketball and those ACC teams would be part of a separate football conference.
