ACC Could STEAL Teams From The Big 12 Via ESPN Maneuver? | Non-Conference Schedule | Rueben Bain

Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Could the ACC end up expanding their conference by stealing teams away from the Big 12? An X user recently brought up a scenario where it would make financial sense for ESPN, the biggest TV partner for both conferences, to steer teams from the Big 12 over to the ACC in order to maximize their own profits. Is it safe to assume that ESPN wields this much power, or do the ACC and Big 12 have more autonomy than people give them credit for? Could schools like Utah and Arizona State really jump over to the ACC?

Hosts Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs break the scenario down. The guys discuss nine early season non-conference games featuring ACC teams against power four opposition. Will the ACC come out of these games over .500 to start the year and hopefully set the tone for a good 2024 football campaign? Donno catches up with standout Miami pass rusher Rueben “Hurricane” Bain at Miami’s preseason media day.
