I place my bet on accelerating it.

Miami, FSU, Clemson and UNC are my top picks on leaving before the bill passes. Miami seems like they have the highest chances of them all to leave. I think the rest of the ACC stays together. UVA may leave with UNC but I think they'll remain in the ACC and UNC goes it alone unless Duke surprises everyone and goes with them. That likely leaves the ACC with BC, Cal, Duke, Georgia Tech, Louisville, NC State, Notre Dame (non-football), Pitt, SMU, Stanford, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest. Maybe the ACC adds a 14th football member (most likely from the state of Florida) before the bill passes (if it does pass?). I'd like to see WVU, UCF, USF, and Cincinnati join the ACC but I doubt the Big 12 will let that happen. So, maybe USF is #14? The ACC and the Big 12 will annually fight for "Who's the 3rd best Power 4 conference" which really will mean little since the Big 10 and SEC will be so far ahead.

Last week Kyle Saunders thought it had a 15-20% of passing. **

more like 50% chance imo **

Thanks. Do you have any idea how the ACC/VT leadership feel regarding this

Feel like the buyout will still go to court or mediation to lower it
