It means Tech and FSU are back in the Metro with UL (tic)
Well, sort of tongue in cheek.
Every school you mentioned, minus OU, checks all the boxes for the B1G. And the only box OU has left is AAU status.
As for the ACC schools, I wouldn't doubt that the B1G has their finger on those 4 school's pulses every day of the week. I'm not saying UNC, Duke or UVa are even remotely interested in this move at this time, but the B1G sure is. On the other hand, I think GT is packed and ready to go. The only thing stopping GT is the B1G's tradition, which includes geographic contiguity. If the B1G is willing to break that tradition, then GT may be walking to the door as we speak.
The big hurdles for the B1G are KSU, Ok St, VT, NCSU and even little ol' Wake Forest. Those schools mentioned in your post need to depart in a delicate nature, for the sake of each individual university, for the sake of their State's political motives, and for the sake of the conferences they are leaving/entering. If what WinchesterBuck says is true, it will get very messy.
But.... say everything Winchester says is going to happen; I don't think the B1G is acting alone. No way they are IMO. The SEC won't be upstaged in any if this and the PAC certainly wants to keep up with the Jones'.
Assuming all of this as teeth, it means ND is homeless, and likely homeless for good. That would be well played by the B1G if that happens. But never discount ND and the power they have. Winchester may be on to something... but I doubt it happens cleanly, swiftly or timely. A major rift has to occur.
My prediction is that the P5 fault line is located in Norman, OK
