That seems to be the narrative - but the B12, nor her fans, have any
leverage or control of what happens to the ACC, nor did they have a say what happened to the PAC.
The idea that the B12 fans would like some ACC properties, is no different than the ACC fans that would like some B12 properties.
How many posts from ACC fans - even on this board - regularly talk about poaching B12 teams? The main difference is that the ACC had their chances with all of the current B12 teams, and passed on them. Will the B12 have an opportunity to get some ACC teams? That is up to the ACC and their institutions. The B12 currently has zero leverage, or offers anyone from the ACC something better. It's crazy talk.............................. the B12 isn't "poaching" anyone from the ACC.
The ONLY way any institutions would call the B12 will be because the ACC is not offered the same contract they currently have, or something close to it - no matter who is in the conference.
