If things go to hell…
and the ACC loses multiple members to the SEC and B1G, but VT isn’t one of them would joining the Big 12 be a bad idea? Or would forming a conference with some the schools below be just as good as the Big 12 or remaining PAC 12 schools?
Boston College
Central Florida
Cincinnati
Coastal Carolina
East Carolina
Georgia Tech
Louisville
Memphis
Pittsburgh
South Florida
Syracuse
Southern Miss
Temple
UConn
Virginia Tech
Wake Forest
West Virginia
Plus, any other ACC schools not swallowed up by the SEC or B1G like possibly Miami, NC State or Duke.

IMO, if things go to hell then the Big12 would be the best option available

That means the ACC dissolves and we get $0 from the defectors.
