ESPN calls it the Secret 7
ESPN free site lists the seven ACC schools as Florida State, Miami, Virginia Tech, Virginia, NC State, UNC, and Clemson. They report FSU, NC State, and Clemson as probable for the SEC. They believe VT and Miami are more likely destined for the Big10, with no mention as to a destination for UNC and UVA.
While I personally prefer the SEC as a destination for VT based on athletics alone, there is no question that the Big10's standing on academics is better than the SEC. Unfortunately, with but few exceptions, travel to away games - regardless of the conference destination, would be more taxing. Don't know what the revenue sharing would be for SEC vs Big 10, but either would be better than the ACC. I hope VT will attract an offer, but ND, Pitt, BC etc. will not sit by without a fight.

I'm never calling the ACC any else besides the MAG7 from now on.

I don't think there is much travel difference between SEC and BIG schools

And if you’re flying, the differences are measured in min, not hrs. BFD.**

Every school takes minimum qualifiers. This academics argument is pure BS.**
