"Internet rumors have Duke Boston College, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Virginia, North Carolina joining revamped 20-team Big Ten."
Wait, what?
This would be crazy if it happened. I thought someone on here said the grant of rights clause of the ACC's contract would cause this to never occur though.

This is correct plus ND would never give up its independence
There is nothing I see on the web or Twitter about this.
GTech, Carolina, and Virginia have always been in the Big Ten rumors. Boston College is definitely new to the conference carousel talk.
Moving toward the Big Ten2? Just keep adding....

100 TEAMS!!!!
That would be awesome. To bad Pittsburgh and Syracuse.
$50 million exit fee per school from ACC. Good walking around money for Buzz and Company left behind . Plus as mentioned ND has their own TV contract. So obviously this is not happening.
I think the expansion landscape is done for the next few years . U Conn and Cincy anxious to move anywhere anyone will take them but not likely to occur any time soon.
When I hear stuff like this , it makes me feel even better that we created a like minded stable conference. Just need a couple of teams to step up to a longer tournament run this year.
Another reason why we shouldn't rush to expand. If something like this happens Wake Forest might be an option.

And why stop with Wake? If BC, GT, UNC and UVa all leave the ACC, Duke might be an option too....

I assume its to attract Notre Dame with an historic rival. Besides Northwestern, Big Ten has always been a state-school focused conference, so some of these sound strange. But I guess Duke is too hard to pass up when you're bringing in UNC.

Four of those 6 have been mulled about for a long time. It's still incredibly unwieldly. If it were to happen, the Big Ten would put Duke, BC, Virginia football in with Wisconsin along with 4 high schools. Notre Dame, UNC and Tech would join the division with PSU, OSU, UM, MSU
Clearly Mark Miller doesn't know how to use teal

Does this mean that Buzz 'the Phony' Williams might find himself coaching a team in a conference on the down turn... Run Phony, Run

Does the NC state legislature have a law or "strong suggestion" that NC State and UNC have to state together in a conference?

If this was true then what it means is the Big Ten is actually trying to take over the NCAA. Then the conference will go to 65 schools and the conference championship which replace the national championship. Jim Delaney and the Big Ten network will take over for ESPN.
It's the first step in world domination. Pretty soon will be watching Monday night football and the World Series on the Big Ten network.
