Not enough value for the disruption they bring.

While it is mentioned deep in there, an implosion of the A¢¢ brings about a change of calculus and may get F$U in, but the B1G's preferred targets are UNC and UVA. They aren't leaving unless the A¢¢ implodes and they would prefer the SEC over the B1G anyway and the SEC would certainly jump if the A¢¢ implodes.

And the A¢¢ doesn't implode with just a departure of F$U and Clemson for the Big 12, which they aren't too enamored over joining anyway.

USA up 53 - 37 at half

Changed starting lineup - inserted Anthony Edwards and Jayson Tatum for Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker

Edwards had huge 1st quarter!
11 points, 4/4 fgs, 3/3 3’s - all that in under 6 minutes of action to begin game

He and LeBron combined for 1st 4 fgs for USA, 2 3’s by each to start game

LeBron had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists in 13 minutes

2nd unit was Holiday, Haliburton, Booker, Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis

Embiid’s movements seemed sluggish, usually last man back and he was least impressive player although he did grab 5 rebounds but not much else
