Without UNC, UVA, and Duke's desire for the ACC to stay together, the conference is incredibly unstable. Take out one of those and it becomes even more so.

Conversely, think if they try to keep it. The money and influence of those schools could probably do some damage to a lot of big time schools, especially if they start going the "oh, you are going to punish us?" way. A lot of athletic departments are doing things that will result in NCAA infractions (though by no means would I say to the level of UNC). Putting pressure on the NCAA to be consistent could mean a lot of other consequences. And don't act like none of our schools do some shady stuff to keep our athletes eligible. Even Stanford does it, and got caught (with no punishment).

You start talking death penalty, watch a lot of things happen.
