Without ND, the ACC might be in a worse position than the PAC

The PAC covers so much territory out west that it will always have access to elite recruits. In the ACC's case, much of the recruiting territory overlaps both the SEC and the B1G and it will become increasingly difficult for the ACC to attract the kind of elite recruits we need to stay competitive and to remain relevant to cable/streaming viewers. Adding ND to the ACC would go a long way to keeping the ACC relevant, but that seems to be a long shot at best.

Finebaum just said could be going to 3 Power Confs w/ B12 & PAC struggling. -- Stech 07/22/2021 07:22AM

I always thought that we could be headed to 3 superconferences with the -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 11:36AM

The Pac-12 will never be a "super conference" because of their isolation -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 11:35AM

There is one PAC12 school that is somewhat poachable. -- Atlee Hokie 07/23/2021 04:21AM

I would LOVE to explore an ACC-Pac12 alliance. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 11:44AM

The Rose Bowl as we knew it and know it is dead anyway. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 12:16PM

The Rose Bowl..... -- 2hhoop3 07/22/2021 2:44PM

Yep. The Big 10 just took a right cross with this move -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 11:13AM

Eh. We knew ESPN had Texas locked down. -- HOO86 07/22/2021 1:03PM

The BigTen is gonna be interesting in all this. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 11:27AM

Finebaum is a pot stirrer. But I do believe the PAC is relatively -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 10:36AM

Protected yes, but they will never achieve "super conference" status. -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 11:37AM

Nope, the PAC cannot be a superconference due to the constraints -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 11:46AM

If this OU-UT deal happens, there will be ONE superconference unless -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 10:31AM

Without ND, the ACC might be in a worse position than the PAC -- El Paso Hokie 07/22/2021 10:12AM

Great point. If you think about FSU trying to recruit and UF now. It's bad. -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 11:01AM

The Pac has isolation in it's corner -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 11:05AM

Back when the Texas et. al. to the Pac was talked about, I though -- Maroon Baboon 07/22/2021 11:17AM

I hear him, but I think the geography is too big. -- HOO86 07/22/2021 09:47AM

Have a feeling he included the ACC because he's getting paid by ESPN -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 08:37AM

The PAC and the ACC are fighting for scraps -- goldendomer 07/22/2021 10:40AM

If WVU and ND joined, the ACC would be at 16 -- HOO86 07/22/2021 11:25AM

WVU isn't attractive unless they enter with ND -- EDGEMAN 07/22/2021 11:23AM

Not really because ACC already has 5/8 of ND. -- HOO86 07/22/2021 1:58PM

If so ND has to enter.... -- MrFantastic! 07/22/2021 08:02AM

They might need to join ACC in fb, just for scheduling -- CambridgeHokie 07/22/2021 11:30AM

I think that ND will find opponents -- TerryD 07/22/2021 11:56AM

ACC could use scrapping that deal as leverage. Go all in -- CambridgeHokie 07/22/2021 1:06PM

A breach of contract as leverage? -- TerryD 07/22/2021 7:29PM

Without ND, the ACC might be in a worse position than the PAC
