is that ESPN tries to broker a deal to get FSU and Clemson into the SEC and the other ACC schools sue ESPN for purposely weakening the ACC to further strengthen their valued SEC. The downside could be that ESPN won't want to deal with a lawsuit so they'll just let the Big 10/Fox take them and won't renegotiate a new contract with the ACC or at best give the ACC a deal that places the ACC a distance 4th behind the Big 12. ESPN knows that a FSU/Clemson-less ACC has few options in future negotiations.
