What does this mean for Clemson? Do they jump to the Big 10 or SEC if they'll take them? If the ACC is a sinking ship, they need to find another boat relatively quickly. Who are the best teams being left out from these power 2 now? I see Clemson, Oregon, Florida State, Miami, and maybe Virginia Tech and Arizona as the only other schools that are somewhat appealing to other conferences. Rutgers better be crossing their fingers that the Big 10 doesn't make any cuts.
Nobody in the ACC is going anywhere unless all parties involved are in agreement that they're willing to pay a hefty fee to do so. They gave up their Grant of Rights when they signed their deal with ESPN, and it doesn't expire until 2035 I believe.
Oregon and Washington, as sad as it may be, probably don't move the needle enough to warrant a jump to the B1G. So they're kinda stuck in limbo. The University of California Board of Regents is doing everything in their power to stop UCLA from going, in which case the next target for the B1G would most likely be Stanford. They fit the academic mold and are just another piece to solving the Notre Dame puzzle. If that were to happen they'd have Notre Dame's two biggest West Coast rivals plus their television provider. Notre Dame doesn't need the $70 million that B1G schools are getting, but it would be hard to turn down.
It all hinges on Notre Dame at this point. The Arizona schools and the combo of Utah/Colorado fit perfectly into the Big XII's hopes and dreams.
