Thinking outside the football box I would say the gems of the ACC are UNC, Duke, and Virginia.

I think you cover the East Coast, if you can. Recruiting grounds. Need to get into Florida for sure.

Miami, FSU, GT, UNC, UVA.

Then ND and be done at 24.

4 pods of 6.

The two farthest West existing schools get stuck with the West Coast schools. Sorry UNL and Minnie.

SE pod

Miami, FSU, GT, UVA, UNC, OSU

MW pod

UW, Iowa, UIUC, NU, UM, MSU

E pod

PSU, ND, RU, UMD, PU, IU

Anybody on the UW 247 board take a look at the date this "article" was posted...?

No idea. I was just quoting a poster who has some pretty good history.

I saw that silly tweet from a fake FSU account. I have not seen the actual article reporting that ESPN will not renew in 2027.

The astounding thing is that the expansion reality has gotten so crazy that you honestly can't really tell if something is an April Fool's or not.  It is hard to parody insanity.

Swap OSU for UW if you don't like it.

I'll take the easy drives to Miami, Tallahassee and Atlanta for games.

If we go to 24, what I think makes sense is four pods of six as you have laid out but not necessarily those pods.  Each team is in both a "pod" and a "group", for example:

So USC, for example, is in Pod-West, Group-1.  Each team's schedule consists of eight scheduled games and one floater.  The eight scheduled games are the five other teams in your Pod and the three other teams in your Group so for USC, their annual schedule consists of:
  • Ohio State
  • Michigan
  • Notre Dame
  • Oregon
  • Nebraska
  • Washington
  • UCLA
  • Minnesota
The ninth conference game is a "floater" that serves to balance the schedules and also, for the four Pod Champions, serves as a league semi-Final.  

For the ninth, "floater" league game, you rotate hosting.  Ie:
  • West hosts SE and MW hosts East in Year-1
  • SE hosts West and East hosts MW in Year-2
  • West hosts MW and SE hosts East in Year-3
  • MW hosts West and East hosts SE in Year-4
  • West hosts East and SE hosts MW in Year-5
  • East hosts West and MW hosts SE in Year-6.  
After the eight scheduled games each Pod is arranged from 1-->6 based on order of finish and tiebreakers.  Then for the ninth games (Year-1):
  • West #1 hosts SE #1 - League title Semi-Final, winner goes to the B1GCG
  • MW #1 hosts East #1 - League title Semi-Final, winner goes to the B1GCG
  • West #2 hosts SE #2
  • MW #2 hosts East #2
  • .....
  • West #6 hosts SE #6
  • MW #6 hosts East #6
