Less than zero chance that ND continues its partnership if FSU/Clemson go.

I also think you're failing to consider what the ACC would do if FSU and Clemson leave. They'd backfill those spots with more dead weight garbage like SMU. Eventually, the TV contract will have to be re-negotiated, and it will be an absolute blood bath. Media partners are only going to pay for the content they actually want; they don't care how the money is divvied up by the conference. And, with an ACC full of tiny private schools and G5 backfills, with very little appetizing football content, if the pie is split equally, they'll be looking at something like a $15-20 million per school media rights payout. You can see it coming as clear as day.

Why *leave? Media money is restricted, big donor NIL $ is not. SMU 0 media$

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

I think you're spot on about the ACC looking more like the Big East.

The only way the B12 becomes attractive to any ACC

I don't think so. The ACC could lose Clemson and FSU, and remain
