To Auburn head coach Jeff Graba, adding Oklahoma to the ranks is an unequivocal good as far as the level of competition in the conference and for the sport generally, since the six-time overall, two-time defending champion Sooners will now be an accessible part of the SEC Network’s Friday Night Heights broadcasts. Still, unconfirmed rumors have flown about additional SEC schools beginning to sponsor gymnastics, which would swell gymnastics competition in the conference further. The SEC has solidified plans for a new two-day SEC tournament beginning with the 2025 season to account for the soon-to-be nine-team conference. Beyond simply changing conferences, some coaches also remain unclear on how the burgeoning super conferences will handle things like conference championships. The Big Ten deal is rumored to be far from certain, although The Athletic has reported as recently as April 28 that things are still on track. The answer, in short, is no one really knows. What will the MRGC do without BYU? How will the remaining EAGL teams adjust after the ACC group departs? Those big moves, motivated by revenue sports and media deals, leave smaller gymnastics conferences with questions as well. Finally, UCLA-plus the University of Southern California-will likely join the Big Ten in the summer of 2024, also for the 2025 season. Oklahoma-as well as the University of Texas-will join the SEC for the 2025 season. The ACC begins sponsoring gymnastics in 2024, which will include Clemson, Pittsburgh, North Carolina, and N.C. Just about everything is up in the air as the Power Five conferences prepare for looming realignment. If it is a media inquiry, please email Julie Angell.“I just don’t know.” “There are so many question marks that affect us.” “We’re just leaving the conference decisions up to the big guys in charge.” “I really don’t know what it looks like.”

These new estimates also include how the ACC Network will have a full year of distribution beginning in FY 2023.These estimates include current realignment (SEC & Big 12) and their impact on media rights values.We used an 8-team expansion, rather than the commonly discussed 12-team expansion in an effort to factor in the additional revenue, but remain conservative in our estimation.
