If FSU and/or UNC leave for B10, the ACC will fall to #4 behind B12.
And yeah the networks and the Big 2 conferences are slowing down expansion, not because of blowback, but because they are going to profit greatly by letting those conferences blow up organically. They swooped in got UW and OU for quarters on the dollar. SMU joining ACC also changes the math too. That‘s going to be the expectation moving forward.
Teams that are in the clear will be be offered step increase offer similar to UW and OU to join (e.g 1st year 50%, 2nd year 75%, etc) whereas teams that still tied to conferences will have a much longer path to 100 percent shares.
I could see Big12 poaching ACC teams before I see ACC poaching Big12 teams.
