I think that was part of the CFP calculus

The best next acquisitions for B1G and SEC are in the ACC and those teams can't be had for awhile (as much attention as it has received, no one has cracked the code on GOR) and it leaves ND secure as an indy. ESPN openly wants contracts with Big 12 and PAC as they are, so they don't have a need to dissolve or add anything. G5's have playoff access, at least for awhile. And ESPN is working with ACC to increase "revenue opportunities", whatever that means. Could ACC expand? Maybe. Does WVU even want to join? I don't see much else out there to stimulate earth shaking movement. I do think UCLA may eventually regret the move to B1G; they risk becoming as relevant as Rutgers.

USC and UCLA are an odd match for B1G. Miami at least

Why would they take any ACC teams when they don’t get media $ for 14 years?**
