I compiled some rankings to rate possible expansion teams for the ACC if they don't dissolve. These are the teams that make the most sense. I ranked each possible Big 12/P12/IND team as well as all ACC teams to see where they stacked up against each other to see if the value is there. I keep hearing that the value or money isn't there, but that is complete BS. If we rip apart the best teams from the P12 and B12 that money will 100% be available, especially if we can bring ND along with them. The ACC needs to meet with ESPN and get some payout numbers if they bring in these teams and then go to the teams and make this happen. The unequal revenue sharing could be huge in the meantime by following the same deal that the Big10 has used by giving teams less of a share until they are fully vested in 5 to 6 years.
I ranked all the teams by the following criteria: 10 yr w/l, 25 yr w/l, all time w/l, 2022 stadium attendance ranking, 2018 Wall Street Journal university value ranking, 2022 Nielsen TV city rankings, State population ranking, 2022 Brand ranking, 2022 Avg. viewership per game ranking, and all time basketball team ranking. I averaged all of the rankings out per group and here are where things stand.
