First step of the ACC demise

I'm thinking the SEC and Big 10 split the prize and break away from the NCAA.
the upcoming conference realignment starts to manifest, one group of ACC schools appears to be considering alternative means of continuing forward on their own.
According to Brett McMurphy of The Action Network, Clemson, Florida State, Miami, UNC, NC State, Virginia and Virginia Tech have joined forces to meet with lawyers and determine whether it's possible to break free of the current ACC grant-of-rights. The current ACC deal runs through 2036.
The ACC was the one Power Five conference that did not see any additions or losses in the recent round of expansions. The Big 12 has already added four schools in anticipation of losing Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC, while the Big Ten will be taking UCLA and USC from the Pac-12.
It seems safe to say that the departure of those seven schools would be a massive financial blow to the ACC. It might even be a fatal one.
In losing Clemson, FSU and Miami, the ACC would lose their three biggest football powerhouses. Losing the teams from North Carolina and Virginia would also cripple their basketball numbers too.
As prolific as Duke basketball is, it wouldn't be able to carry the ACC for long.
But all of this is just speculation for the time-being. For all we know the seven schools will look at their options and find that staying in the ACC is best for their short- and long-term financial security.
Still, this is a situation that could change in the blink of an eye.

Miami and/or fsu, clem, unc, and virgina to the big 10
Nc st, vt, miami or fsu to the sec
A new top division of college football is being created and its going to be 60 or less teams. It's being driven by tv money and these additions make sense viewership wise(no crossover fans ex. Fsu/Florida sec already has most of fsu viewership numbers save for same time kickoffs in real games)

AAU Schools Available
Oregon
Washington
California
Stanford
Colorado
Arizona
Utah
UNC
Duke
Virginia
Kansas
Ga Tech
Pittsburgh
The B1G will choose who they want from this list. I don’t think they will have anyone enter that isn’t AAU. Nebraska is the one school who isn’t.. but they were AAU when they entered…
unless their name is..
Notre Dame
That’s 30 teams if they take them all.
Longshot AAU schools
Rice
Tulane
Oregon
Washington
California
Stanford
Colorado
Arizona
Utah
UNC
Duke
Virginia
Kansas
Ga Tech

SEC should only add schools from Virginia and North Carolina. They are the only virgin markets left in the Southern region.

I look forward to our new rivalries with Texas Tech and BYU

If this is true, and take it with the usual grain of salt you get from these reports... turn out the lights, the party is over.
We would must assuredly be headed to the Big 10 (20? 24?) and the SEC. And then everything else would be a glorified FCS team.
The problem the ACC has is that while it is a solid conference... there are no expansion opportunities. Maybe you add ECU? Because you don't have enough Carolina teams? Who from Florida? Maryland left. Rutgers is Big 10.
Do you want... ahem... rob the MAC? Take a team from the Sunbelt? Steal someone from the we don't want to go on the cart American conference? Navy? Army?
Like the Big 12 they are being crowded out.

Can you imagine playing Duke in football? This shite is getting out of hand.

I really hope the alignment in the SEC stops for awhile or forever as I’m looking forward to this 16 team conference. I think this conference in all sports is unmatched. It just means more.
