For the people insisting this will be two 32 team mega conferences
I see no way that happens. The CURRENT power 5 is around 64 or 65 teams. Why would the new entity that wants more money per school grow to the size of the current power 5 but repackaged as two leagues? Makes zero sense.
This is about trimming the fat and having a smaller, higher value per school, group or pair of leagues. I think this goes to 24 each TOPS maybe only 20.

I think two 24 team leagues is very possible

ND and UNC. People are making giants leaps with this P2. Below ND and UNC you have some quality schools which will not increase per team payout (what existing members will mainly be considering) and would just be territorial grabs. Clemson/FSU aren’t included in the ND/UNC bucket partially because I don’t see SEC schools wanting to prop them up.
ND is available but UNC is not due to GOR. We could be stationed here for a without next level thinking and partnerships.

to join the ACC if they join a conference in football before 2036.

If it stops with USC, ND, UCLA, Stanford, Texas and Oklahoma...
I think that there can be enough value remaining nationally to make one more solid FOOTBALL conference down the road. Washington, Oregon, Arizona State, Clemson. FSU, UNC, VT, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Miami and some others. And it couldn't have deadwood in it like Vandy, Northwestern, etc.
But if the SEC and B1G takes even a few of these, it's lights out for anyone else but the Power 2.

It will be costly.
And part of me is still thinking ND won't do it.
