If true this is the end of the ACC.
Edit - referring to what wg posted above.
I agree with others here … Notre Dame has some leverage right now, but their power is fleeting.
The PAC12 is on life support and the ACC looks to unravel fairly quickly.
If I were the Big12, I would be on the phone with every PAC12 and ACC team willing to join them.
As for the Big Ten, they cannot wait for a decision from Notre Dame. They need to figure out how to keep up with the SEC.
As for the SEC itself … when will the pretense stop and the SEC admits it’s really a professional sports league that just happens to own some quasi-academic institutions as window dressing?

From a money perspective, the SEC is trying to keep up with the B1G. If ND came into the fold, I am not sure they will get there no matter what other teams they add.
UNC had so called student-athletes getting grades for fake classes for 2 years. That's some SEC level type sh*t. They might be a good fit there, though on the surface, they are a very typical school the B1G might add. It would bring in a new market, if you paired them with Uva, even more.
If you are reading the tea leaves, there are 3 spots for about 8 realistic schools.
