Some WVU guy (not the dude) keeps saying that the big 10 is taking 4 from south of the mason dixon. When asked if it was UVA, UNC, Maryland and GaTech he said the guy was 75% correct.

I don't know, NU was really butthurt at Texas and it has a football program that draws.  I see how that happened.  Why would those four schools leave the ACC for the Big Ten?  Why would the Big Ten want them?  I don't see how it benefits either side.  None are football powers to speak of, and the Big Ten isn't appreciably better than the ACC money-wise if you factor in the exit fees.  I don't see the motivation to get that done.

Big 10 POV- New Big markets to network, expands south into area with a growing population.

ACC Schools POV- Alot more money when the BIG renegotiates in 2016, if this happens the ACC will cease to exist so no buyout. Also UVA/UNC would enjoy being part of the Big10 academia. 

[MadCat]

I guess if that happens we'll have all the FSUs we want.  I'll take 2 please.

Personally I'd be fine with it, but it seems pretty flimsy.

I'd put the chances of it happening somewhere around the chances of getting 2 FSUs in the Big 12.

It's superficially logical, but it's very strained.  They aren't all that south really, just kind of on the edge there.  The new TV markets they would be opening up aren't particularly impressive.  The biggest catch is that none of them are good at football and that's the impetus behind all of this change.  Add four east coast northern south football mopes?   

eta:  Nobody on the east coast gives a crap about Big Ten football, nor will they ever.  UNC, UVA, MD, etc. won't change that.

18 million people live in NC and VA...thats alot of people that will would now need the BIG network.

Also you dont see any teams that are actually "Good at football" Making conference changes. Excluding WV(big12 is different model than other conferences with networks) when was the last time a team that moved from one BCS conference to another(NU,MU,CU,AM,PITT,SYRACUSE) actually won a conference title?

I'm not sold that any of it will happen but the underlying circumstances for it to happen are there.

This conversation is completely over his head, he doesn't know VT relatively recently moved into the ACC from the Big East.
