It was announced Friday night that Pittsburgh and Syracuse have both applied for membership to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Earlier in the week, the ACC solidified its commitment to stay together by pushing the exit fee from $12-14 million to $20 million. All members voted on and approved that movement that takes place immediately. The ACC also states that it is interested in increasing membership. This would be a huge move by the ACC to take more of a footprint into the Northeast, giving Boston College more natural rivals. The ACC would be insane not to take this opportunity to add these two programs (and possibly 2 more) to solidify their conference as one of the top 4 in the Super Conference movement. There have been rumors that up to 10 teams have contacted the ACC about membership. Also rumored are Texas and Notre Dame being interested in the ACC, not sure how true that is, but it is a rumor. Another rumor has Boston College supporting Villanova to the ACC with an upgrade of their football program.
Outside of this, it has to make you wonder what else is going on. The Big East had been in talks of expanding, but now 2 members apply to join another conference. It must mean that rumors of West Virginia to the SEC, might be true. It also might mean that Texas may stay committed to the Big12 as they look to raid the Big East. We all know there is a lot of talking going on behind closed doors, I’d expect the dam has just broken loose and we will be hearing a lot more this week. Who knows what else will develop at this point with all of the rumors? It seems like we are about to lose either the Big East or the Big 12.

I think the Big 12 more than the Big East in is trouble, as the Big 12 has some bigger name colleges and if one or two leaves, like I said a few posts back, a domino effect would occur.
Looks like both are in trouble now – rumors of Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St to the PAC12 are now becoming more of a reality. Texas is working on a deal for their network.
