Already with some dread for French's upcoming analysis of the WF Game.

Last week was one of the first pleasant reviews in a quite a while....

So after a week of "A New Energy," it seems like the fitting title for this week would be "Same Old Shit"

I won't go as far as none of the schools. I could see Houston, Texas Tech, Arizona State and maybe Kansas being considered (Kansas purely for basketball.) The two Texas schools in recent years have shown the willingness to spend oil money to compete. Arizona State might be a stretch but if it's B10 looking for a bit more balance to USC/UCLA/Oregon/Washington side I think they make sense.

Not sure either conference wants to deal with BYU and some of its unique challenges.

I don't think it's the strength of the teams in the actual conferences that's a draw. What hurts the ACC IMO is the general uncertainty of the conference.

While the Big 12 is mid, it made moves to pick up other schools when they got raided, and is definitely staying around. There's a world where the ACC falls apart with a select few going to P2 and everyone else trying to stay out of Washington State & Oregon State territory.

Not sure about this take. Outside if the $ec and Big10, the ACC is the only other conference that's had a national champion in a long time. Someone stated in another post that the path to the playoffs is much easier and more likely in the ACC than elsewhere and as of right now that argument is pretty accurate. I think there's enough attractiveness with the opening to draw a big name, of course having a boatload of cash to offer certainly helps.

This is the hire that I think our conference affiliation kills. In a healthy ACC I think he'd make this move in a heartbeat but otherwise. He's spent his career in the midwest, is there now in a stronger conference where he probably won't win any championships but its steady sailing and stable with no reason to jump to the ACC circle of suck.
