Just my guess, but they have to have assurance from the Big 10 that the door is open if they can get in. I sincerely doubt it's the SEC since ESPN would effectively be blowing up the ACC by opening the door for FSU to join the SEC and since they've got that conference under really favorable terms until 2036 I doubt they're in a hurry to do that.

Roll out the red carpet Big 12. Don’t screw around.

Maybe a small chance the Big 12 could make a play but I doubt it. They say UNC and Clemson are more valuable than FSU, don't know why.

Getting Florida State, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Duke/Miami would be a pipedream. Have to think Virginia and Clemson are in the SEC someday.

Yormark may be able to advertise to UNC and Duke how amazing of a bball conference it would be and to Florida State and Georgia Tech that maybe they could become national football powers again in an easier football conference. If they go to Big or SEC they will get annihilated. Would be good for their mid to long term financial well being.

Seems like if this “Super League” concept ever actually happened, it would include a much smaller group of schools.

Flip Missouri with Wisconsin and Florida with Vandy and that's a decent set up which balances historical rivalries, regionality and competitiveness.
