Nearly all scenarios involving the B12 breakup are bad for the ACC


if the B1G and SEC gobble up B12 crown jewels Kansas, OK, TX and assorted scraps to get to 16, then they become even more powerful and rich when compared to the ACC.

The P12 has a virtual monopoly on the western 1/3 of the US, and compares favorably to an ACC that shares the east coast with the B1G and SEC.

The best possible outcome for VT, imo, is to land in the B1G. If the SEC and B1G were to invite enough ACC schools the relevant agreements might be rescinded. Frankly, that seems highly unlikely, and the B1G would probably want UVa over VT in that scenario.

Major realignment seems - to me at least - to be a bad thing for the ACC. I hope it doesn't happen any time soon. The x-factor is the long-predicted but reluctant to appear ascendance of soccer and decline of american football. If that happens, the ACC would have more leverage.
