What if the ACC, instead of waiting around to be picked apart,
got together with the B12, the BE, and the MW to pull their MBB and WBB out of the NCAAs, as is being discussed for FB with the P2. The intent is segregate the level of competition and develop stronger collective bargaining power with the networks. This would be a preemptive step while the conferences are relatively strong in BB.
