Here's two things I think it could be. 1) FSU and CU to SEC 2) dissolution
Guess 1: FSU and Clemson to SEC by settlement.
Not sure what the amount of money the two will pay to get out. But in recent days, the B1G has cooled (for some reason) on FSU (and Clemson), or at least appears to have cooled.
It's in ESPN's best interest to a) settle and b) keep FSU and Clemson in the ESPN family of networks.
ESPN does enough for the remaining ACC schools to get them to sign off on it.
Guess 2: There is enough schools willing to vote to dissolve the conference. This could mean making a smaller conference on their own. Or it means that they have P2 homes. Or most of them have P2 homes and others going to the XII with financial considerations from those with P5 homes. This seems far-fetched since it would involve multiple conferences conspiring, but it would go along better with the Jurassic Park reference. Also along these same lines, some could vote to dissolve the conference in favor of a smaller ACC (straight up contraction)--this would be some straight up Hunger Games stuff though. Or lastly, a group of schools votes to dissolve the conference and the SEC takes them on as an entire division.
Don't know. Just spitballin'. Woke up in the middle of the night to the water in my glass on my night stand trembling a bit.
