Speculation on Acc Dissolved

Led by UNC.

GREG FLUGAUR on his podcast Peek Around The Corner (PATC) stated in his monolouge that he had received info. from a UNC money perch (some one in the know, maybe BIG Donor) who said that UNC was going to lead the efforts to dissolve the ACC. SUPPOSEDLY UNC has 10 teams lined up who will vote to dissolve the ACC. A new conference including those 10 teams will form a new smaller conference using pvt.equity funds. Media rights would go to streaming service providers who want to get into streaming college football. Flugaur gives more details as to why UNC is going to lead the effort. End of Flugaur info.

This is my thoughts.
I think a 12 team league with each team playing all members with 1 out of conference game would be a good conference. Only 12 teams to split the money, less travel for all sports, conference Championship game and winner gets into CFP. THE NEW CONFERENCE COULD SCHEDULE basketball games against big 10, which would increase tv revenue. Supposedly the SEC and BIG are going to schedule games against each other and no other outside teams. This leaves the ACC with no big opponents but could be a good enough lineup for the streaming media.

At least this keeps the ACC speculation going. Bubba Cunningham the AD at UNC AND THE PRESIDENT of Syracuse have in the past supported pvt. Equity in college sports. Bubba would be a candidate for the new conference commissioner. Another John Swofford?

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just putting this here because it will at some point be covered by some sports writers.

UNC vs Duke in Football. Or Wake and NCSU. If they are cutting some dead weight, that’s fine but it may mean going to the west coast more.

Outside of 4 or 5 teams the ACC just doesn’t draw eyes. Getting into that commitment is no better than staying in the ACC as it is now.

Better to leave all together.

I doubt this is even as attractive to Clemson as the ACC is. We have always liked to mix it up with other southern powers out of conference.

Looking at their home attendance even UNC and Duke fans don’t want to watch UNC and Duke football!

Any version of the same old ACC isn’t an improvement IMO.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

I’m all for dissolving the ACC, but I think this model you described would not work. I wouldn’t even watch it, much less the rest of the country.
