Placing more emphasis on NCAA restructuring, NIL legislation, and player safety as reasons for the holdup. Good grief.

Hahaha, it’s because they and the pac12 are the ones who could get left out when the MW and AAC both have conference champions ranked higher than theirs. They should honestly be giddy about this as they will get a slice of pie more often than they currently are.

But they ARE academic elites, so they likely know better than us.

Pac 12 isn't holding things up. The reason the ACC is slowing things is that they want the 5 P5s + 1 G5 Champs guaranteed and they want only 2 at larges. This would force Notre Dame into the conference. But the SEC won't approve that. They have nothing to gain from that. G5 also don't love that plan but would likely approve it.

That makes sense. What a bunch of losers.
