No surprise, UNC remains opposed to ACC expansion But is it because they want to protect their women’s soccer program, or because they expect an SEC or Big Ten invite . . . ?

It's difficult to articulate how profoundly stupid this decision was. You have added three schools by proxy and alienated its three strongest schools, who are now all but advertising they will leave early. NC State has signed its version of a conference realignment death warrant, because they have burned that bridge to follow Carolina to the SEC or Big Ten.
Beyond all that, the crown jewel of the ACC, its men's basketball tournament, takes another body blow. Forget the Snyder-esque pronouncements that there hasn't been a public sale since 1966 (the tournaments in Brooklyn were half-empty), imagine the number of Duke and Virginia fans whose ticket allotment drops a few hundred each so that it can accommodate schools whose home attendance were all under 4,000 a game last season (Cal's home attendance: 2,155). Then again, wait until they hear it's moving the tournament to San Francisco for two years.
In its race to the bottom, the ACC of 2024 will become the Pac-12 by 2030. If you're Wake Forest, Duke, BC, and Syracuse, who's calling?

This move, by the ACC, was dictated to head-off financial penalties in the ESPN contract, which allowed for a downward renegotiation of rights fees if the conference population dropped below its present number of fifteen schools. With the anticipated future departure of Florida State and Clemson, who want a bigger slice of the revenue pie at the expense of their fellow conference members, the move makes some sense. But not a lot. The original expansion proposal was only for the revenue sports (football, men's basketball and women's basketball); I am shocked that non-revenue sports are also moving from the Pac 12.
All about the student/athletes, right?
I guess this also seals Oregon State and Washington State to the Mountain West. In some ways, they have become Connecticut...but without the athletic success.

This conference hopping sickens me. Don't call them student-athletes, but NIL-athletes. With all this travel, more time away from studies, class work, labs, etc. I am glad that the Big East is staying pat. Creighton is far enough away. At least we don't have dual track meets, but the BE XC and track and field meets come once a year.

Anyone have guesses on who the depleted ACC will invite in? My guess is some UConn fans are going to go rabid to get another shot at what essentially may end up being AAC 2.0 with even worse travel arrangements lol.
