I thought about adding this to another thread, but it seems this is ACC-centric and deserves its own. You need to go to the Tweeter box and read the whole thing. It's a really good thread with a lot of info.

;tldr or you don't do Twitter: The GOR won't allow the ACC teams to leave. Expansion is stalled until 2033-ish. The ACC is screwed.

What if a majority of teams leave
How many teams have to vote to dissolve ??

didn't read any of it.)
 
One team that I could see jumping to ACC is Kansas due to basketball.

I've seen 8, but I've also seen 11. Either way you have to think that GaTech, Wake, Syracuse, BC, Pitt and NSCU won't have homes. Duke is highly unlikely to. If it's 11 that's not happening. If it's 8, that's 7 right there.

I just don’t see any team jumping to a conference that probably won’t exist in 10-15 years

I guess the question is the B12 any more viable than the ACC? I am not sure that Kansas can justify a piece of the ACC pie, as small as it is because they are so negligible economically. Looking at the 3 rails of CFB economics, they have a small market (KC and Kansas) a rail that is diminishing in value, no TV market to speak of, and they will never get any CFP money.

I feel like ACC is more like likely to get raided once their GOR is up or close to up. Seems like PAC is the most vulnerable and if some of them jump to Big 12, then the Big 12 will be in stronger position

do these basketball schools have any real chance factoring in ???

Some. Remember the Big East was formed (or reformed) as a solely basketball-focused league. There is $$$ there, just not as much as football. Kansas would be attractive to schools like UNC and Duke who are basketball focused.

In the SEC, Kentucky carries a lot of weight and it isn't necessarily because of their football brand.

Agree on all counts. Would be wild if the B12 is the last standing of the PAC, B12, and ACC. Not many would have said that a year ago. Damn.

Basketball v. football money is not even close. Not in the same galaxy.

It was good enough to form a league of private schools called the Big East.

Also if it is such a money difference, why is UK such a major power player in the SEC?
