If that bill passes,
and the power 4 conferences are indeed prevented from expanding, the top 3 football brands in the ACC may be looking hard of making an announcement before the thing is voted on. The timing is tough for those that may have an invite to the BIG or SEC, as the media contracts don't line up this year, and the ACC has laid out how much it will cost to switch this year.
The idea that the B12 could be raided doesn't concern me much, as we have already lost all the blue bloods, and being the best of the rest is where I think the B12 will land.
