RE: With all this realignment shuffling…

Two 9 team divisions. You could either have an 8 game slate of all division play all the time, or some form of 6-2.
If the Big Ten decides they want to go for the final blow and invite Notre Dame, I guess they could invite Stanford at that point, making it a 20 teamer.
What will the SEC do? Do we think they add four from the ACC, if Florida State gets it's way? What if THEY go for the gut punch and add Notre Dame?
If the networks are involved in these decisions as many feel they are, why would they advise the SEC to add any of the ACC? They are paying them $35 mil per as member so the ACC. They aren’t going to voluntarily double their own payout. I don’t think they invite ND. The ND contract with ACC says that they will join the ACC if they decide to give up their independent status.

Towards the end of their contract maybe they become more agreeable. You are probably correct though but there is increase value in FSU playing SEC slate vs an ACC slate.
