To your point of 8 schools needing a known conference spot

All 8 would almost have to be going to SEC or BIG. The third option is Big12 which isn’t an improvement over ACC, no football powers, and doesn’t currently have a conference media outlet. There’s just no where to go near term for that many schools.

My left field guess is that CFP expansion could be a tipping point

HokiesACC2004 • 10/28/23 02:07 AM ET
UNC voted against expansion in 2002 to add Miami and VT also.
