It's not a great time to be ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. What's going on with the league and how does it impact Virginia Tech? (Nell Redmond/ACC)

1) If FSU and Clemson leave the ACC for elsewhere, and VT cannot get an invitation to the SEC or the B1G, which option do you think would be better in the long run for the viability of the VT football brand: (1) Remain in the ACC; or, (2) Leave for the Big XII. When answering, please account for a scenario where several other current ACC football brands also leave behind FSU/Clemson, requiring the ACC to backfill with G5 teams (which I think any reasonable mind would consider the more likely outcome, given what happened to the PAC 12), and a scenario where FSU and Clemson are the only programs to leave. — Baltimore Hokie
