I definetely agree that there are not that many non P2 schools left that the P2 want. That's why I have been predicting the ACC won't lose more than four schools at max. Not so sure about "excising", but I expect the B10 will start the unequal revenue distribution in a near future. By the way, even if the bill passes, that doesn't necessarily mean the realignment is dead. For example, the B10 may decide to "excise" two of its least valuable members (let's say UMCP wnd Rutgere) and add two schools from the ACC. That won't violate the anti expansion clause. If the ACC takes UMCP back, that would be effectively like a trade between the B10 and the ACC.
