FSU might stay put instead
Not a good day for the Big10.Notre Dame joining ACC
Notre Dame will join the Atlantic Coast Conference as a full member with the exception of football, but will play five football games annually against ACC teams.
"We have monitored the changing conference landscape for many months and have concluded that moving to the ACC is the best course of action for us," said Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame vice president and director of athletics, in a statement released by the conference. "We are able to maintain our historic independence in football, join in the ACC's non-BCS bowl package, and provide a new and extremely compe ive home for our other sports."
Not a good day for the Big 12 either.In addition to Notre Dame’s entrance, conference commissioners voted to raise the ACC’s exit fees to $50 million.

Yep. 5 ACC games + USC + however many cupcake games doesn't leave much room on the schedule for Big 10 teams.

Im sure they'll manage.
Would have been more with Notre Dame. Obviously.
Weren't Texas and Notre Dame supposed to start playing on Thanksgiving?
They'll manage. They just don't have a very exciting list of expansion options anymore.
Looks like all the major conferences are pretty stable right now. ACC implementing a $50M exit fee?
If the Big12 still wants to expand it's going to have to go to the big east or some other ty conference to do it.

lol please. We offered to play, you turned it down we said okay. End of story. A&M/LSU will start soon enough on that date.Begging to play Texas on Thanksgiving after they left
I'd think so. ND plus the exit fee pretty much ensures the ACC's survival. SEC wasn't going to expand again unless they could get into NC/VA so they'll sit tight at 14. With ND no longer on the table the Big10 has no incentive to do anything. Pac 12 won't do anything unless Texas gives up on the Big12. Only real mystery is whether the Big12 is content to be the lone BCS conference without a conf champ game or whether they'll feel the need to add a couple Big East / Conference USA schools.Looks like all the major conferences are pretty stable right now.

Pretty much.
All the major movement should come to a halt now.
They wanted to continue the game as long as they weren't in the same Conference as Texas so they could try to boast SEC tradition. No worries though, they'll soon have multiple daddies instead of one.
Cool.
Lol "big 12 is getting ND"
lol find where I said that
Don't forget clemson and florida state too.
Sorry about that. I think they're adding the Dallas Cowboys too
Long term plan to groom UTSA tbh.
