SWAG: ACC survives if basketball tourney breaks off from the NCAA.
The Older Adults will remember when basketball made more than football. If the NCAA doesn't take the 1.15 Billion (85% from the NCAA basketball tournament) then the ACC can make a ton of money through basketball. Also, if they get Miami (5 time National Football Champion), Florida State (3 time National Champion) Clemson (3 time National Champion) and Virginia Tech back in the top 5-10 like they used to be, then the will make money in football too.
However, that is going to take time, but if the basketball breaks off, they will be confident that they can make up a good portion of the money based on their previous performances in March Madness.

You keep selling this, but has there been a single credible peep about it?
