That was fast. As noted in another thread, Covid has made the B1G and PAC iffy from a playing games, and therefore revenue standpoint. If ND came aboard as a full member the ACC might be enticing, but that's a lot of travel for non-revenue sports. Plus, the opportunity to play OU, A&M, and Arkansas was too good to ignore.

Even the "non revenue" sports are flying to places they used to bus in the past.  Travel really isn't a huge restriction in this day and time.
