@Brett_McMurphy The AP.

@NicoleAuerbach Wow.

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

@Dicention @JWMediaDC That's almost all of FBS. It will be 40 or less IMO. Teams 60-80 can't hang financially with the top 20. That's part of the current problem.

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

@JWMediaDC No way it will be 64 teams. It will more likely be 32-36 split into two conferences.

There won't be much hoopla in Tallahassee tomorrow. But, by this time next year? Absolutely.

Tuesday is Aug. 15, the deadline for any ACC school that wants to leave the league and compete elsewhere for the 2024 season.

The most likely outcome is that Tuesday's deadline arrives and passes, and the Seminoles stay put, sources tell @TheAthletic: https://t.co/LBKYN9Maff

Conference Pangea. There will be one league that breaks away from the NCAA. We've all seen this coming for a while now. The current round of realignment is just a step toward this ultimate and inevitable reality. #CollegeFootball #conferencerealignment

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

I agree with Alberts that this is where things are headed with college football.

The participating teams will all be part of a new organization that bundles and sells its tv rights, like the NFL.

And the new organization will bargain with the players/employees.

Ha! 😂 #ConferenceRealignment

Conference Realignment (Taylor's Version)

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

@NicoleAuerbach Ha!! Love this!

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

@milesashoaf Wow! Interesting. Or will they (or some of them) be the AAC leftovers after the Pac-4 only take certain teams from the AAC and MWC?

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

@johncanzanobft Gonna be some VERY interesting matchups in the final season of the old-school Pac-12. That will probably boost viewership and make folks even saltier about how this all burned down.

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

@psc_highlights It just happened in D2. The Lone Star Conference dropped Simon Fraser (the only NCAA football school in Canada) earlier this spring. The school announced a month later they were dropping football immediately throwing the 2023 LSC schedule in disarray. https://t.co/GXuaQoWme1

[Conference Chronicles @ConferenceChron]

Some in the ACC balking to expansion will only enflame the call for change. #conferencerealignment

@RossDellenger @YahooSports This is just the fuel FSU needs to try to burn it all down.
