Could it be ESPN would like to keep ACC ............. If they would drop some of the small pvts? Reason for keeping. Keeping FOX out of the deep South. In this scenario I am not sure a new ACC by ESPN (maybe some other entity) couldn't close gap. There is much inventory for all sports in ACC. Football would improve. No one give rats rear about BC, DUKE (football), Cuse or maybe even Pitt. This is what FOX should have done with the PAC. PAC conference that has been so good this year about to die. Shame. Love to see ESPN see this. Be pushing some buttons with the MAG 7 and form a new league. WVU would be included. Like SEC sell on rivalries.
