3 things

1. ACC schools seem to be jumping fast... making contact with Big 12 "contacts" frequently. Seems they've realized it's a bigger deal than they initially thought.
2. UL rumors from yesterday are b/c they are the only ones agreeing to pay now and wait until ND joins.
3. Rumblings inside Clemson... may or may not be true. I'm not in Clemson. Hopefully, it's nothing major.

Swaim is reporting it is GT, not UL, that has and is willing to pay now.

the "willingness" to pay and wait is a big selling point now.
I still think that would be at 13 and 14 though

I'm not completely sold on this yet....

neither is my contact. GT ruffled feathers by being "cool" to inital talks. They are "feverishly" trying to get back in the picture, while also talking to the Big 10.

True, but Swaim is correct in theory...

...having GTech scratching at the door makes things less certain.
OTOH, if there was reluctance withing the Clemson family, having a rival suitor for that No. 12 spot might help unify folks.

So there is "reluctance withing the Clemson family"? If so and they screw this up there will be a lynch mob on campus before summers end!

It's probably the faculty, and that's to be expected. The FSU President mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the FSU faculty was not in favor of leaving the ACC. Fortunately, the faculty will not be making the decision.

...I've witnessed a few power struggles at the school. One like this, which would shake the conference identity to the core, will stun some folks.
And, of course, we've got some in power who would welcome a chance to decrease football's influence at the school ... as has been proven in the past.
