There’s numerous chatter that each Florida Surrounding and Clemson may just jump from the ACC and tied the Weighty 12.
For the reason that hypothesis, Fox Sports activities faculty soccer announcer Tim Brando says because of this Weighty 12 commissioner Brett Yormark “has been working so hard to get additional revenue.”
“That’s why, the private equity, the selling of the naming rights of the conference, all of that is designed to sweeten the pot to make it more of a big-time hit financially for [Clemson and Florida State]. That’s what they want. They want Big Ten, SEC-ish money…” Brando stated on OutKick’s “Hot Mic” on Thursday.
“They’ve were given a rich workforce of family which might be in the back of them and are in reality turning up the screws and are telling their family ‘we gotta find a way to get the hell out,’ and Brett Yormark, I think, could be offering them something a little sweeter if he could pull a few of those public relations maneuvers he has in mind… But they’ve also got the litigation to overcome, and that’ll take some time too.”

Brando also predicts that the Big 12 will have a “banner year,” which could “sweeten” the discussion.
“Top to bottom, bottom to top, it’s gonna be the most competitive league in America. I think there’s a very good chance they could have multiple 11-1, 10-2-type teams because of the way their scheduling works this year, which would be great… I think the top is really, really good. I’m high on the Big 12 this year, very high,” Brando said. “And I think financially, if they can bolster the circumstances for Florida State and Clemson, then they might force the ACC, not just those two schools, but the rest of the ACC to think about joining forces so they can sweeten their financial pocket.”
