I think if it happens, it will just happen. The impetus will be-

FSU or Clemson leaving. That will almost entirely eliminate what tiny bit of leverage the conference had to negotiate TV money. Once that happens, and the rest of the conference schools are staring at the cold, hard media rights numbers they'll be getting, it will be a mad dash to get off the sinking ship, much like what happened to the PAC-12. The harsh reality is that neither Disney, nor Fox, nor anyone else is going to offer significant money to the ACC for a docket that's full of games like SMU at Boston College or Memphis at Wake Forest every single week.

Several reasons, none of which are strictly about money:

Some good points, but Vandy and SMU paradigm shift is significant, the big

I'm not sure what "paradigm shift" you're talking about here.

SMU made the playoff last year, Vandy beat Bama last year, UVA remarkable

SMU made the playoff last year, Vandy has beaten Bama and other SEC teams

Sorry, I must have missed the part where I was disrespectful to you.

These private Schools have a simply easier process

Here's my take on that-

You might be right,......
2hhoop3 • 11/10/25 11:46 AM ET
Would it be safe to say or maybe IMO the ACC

Sorry, maybe not revenue, but this post by @QCP last week showing Big XII

I do not dispute that.....

The only way the B12 becomes attractive to any ACC

I don't think so. The ACC could lose Clemson and FSU, and remain
Big12 guy • 11/10/25 12:16 PM ET
Less than zero chance that ND continues its partnership if FSU/Clemson go.
Baltimore_Hokie • 11/10/25 12:22 PM ET
I agree with both you and 2hhoop3, **
