Also, can VT pull out of the ACC without causing problems with UVa (who got them in)? Or does UVa have to leave first (say, UVa/UNC to the B1G) thus giving VT the "political cover" to move to the SEC. Is NCST also in a similar quandary--needing UNC to leave first?
It could be tricky with VT. The only reason they were brought in was when it looked like BC, Syracuse, and Miami were going to get the bids, the state politicians that went to Tech, basically forced UVA to push for VT and try and block anything expansion that did not include Tech. I still think VT would jump and screw over UVA in a heartbeat, if they can.
With NC st, they are a part of the UNC system. UNC would have a vote in ANY conference move NC st might want to do. Not sure on the specifics of it though

They could have last year but somehow didn't. There's probably some deal that VT won't make the first move to ditch the ACC. But it doesn't mean that UVA can't make the first move instead.
And UVA isn't looking at SEC membership but wouldn't turn down a B1G invite if offered; on the other hand VT will never be considered for the B1G but (in an unstable ACC and only with UVA making the first move) it would consider the SEC knowing that it would be welcomed with open arms.
Take the above sentence and replace "UVA" with "UNC" and "VT" with "NCST" and all the pieces fit.
