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.

If the SEC were to expand to 20, I’d say the leading candidates are:

Do you really think BIG will take such a geographic outlier like Miami?
