Michigan’s not going anywhere. The days of a school leaving a conference because they’re pissed with it are over. There’s too much money at stake now.
Where would Michigan go? There are 2 conferences that stand head and shoulders above the rest in all aspects - fans, money, facilities, etc etc. If Michigan left the B1G would they go to the SEC? There’s no way in hell the SEC would accept them. So now they’d have to take a huge demotion and a lot less money to head to the ACC or Big 12. That’s just not realistic.
“There’s no way in hell the SEC would accept them.”
With Texas at the SEC table, the SEC will welcome Michigan and a west coast team and make the SEC a national conference.
Most of the Pac-12 schools are leaving. It’s essentially Dead Conference Walking.
Conferences are being radically realigned. I’m sure there are two or three conferences that would welcome the Wolverines.
