Also, unless the 7 other schools already have offers to the Big 10 or SEC they would prefer status Quo over the 25 million. Rebranding into a new more streamlined conference could be an appealing option, but only if the top teams in the ACC stay together to do it, otherwise it is a financial loss over the status quo. If the top 8 to 10 schools in the ACC dissolved the conference and formed a new conference they might could sign a competitive media deal, but only if they all stay together. The risk would be that once the ACC was dissolved some schools would join the SEC or Big 10 instead of staying with the other schools in a new conference. Also, you would have to create a new network. Lots of details to work out in such a scenario, and lots could go wrong.
