I don't disagree with you about BC's and Wake's value or the mindset of the

ACC that will probably be its downfall. Hence why I asked the question from the perceptive perspective. It seems to me there is a certain group of Big XII schools that if they experience their own Hurricanes-like dry spell (Is Da U back?) where they only win 0-4 games each year, then I would be surprised to see their football programs are able to retain their value. Especially if the other metrics show a declining trend. Kansas has basketball to prop up football during the dry spell. However, most of the other Big XII schools don't have that luxury unless sports like baseball, wrestling, track, etc. now how "real value."
