Right because the Big 12 is full of bangers after Texas and OU left.  

It’s a coping mechanism since really the only remaining members are second choice back up schools. 
 

USF’s academics is making us a first choice more and more. 
 

For academics, the lowest ranking member of the ACC would be the highest ranking member of the big12. 
 

However, the PAC dissolution proves academics don’t really matter with football media realignment. But the big12 fans have this chip on their shoulder mentality from being rejected by their first choice schools that are in the other conferences.

I mean Texas and Okalhoma were the big brands left. They are gone. Any B12 school would join the  3rd best conference in the  ACC conference,  the B1g with 2nd best  conference, and the best conference  the SEC if offered.

What’s a “media legal expert,” and why would someone in that position know anymore about the FSU/ACC court proceedings and future hypothetical contract negotiations than the rest of us? I’m starting to think some of these guys don’t really have inside information and are just making up facts as they go.

The one part that I think the ACC leadership blew was not going after Utah, and the Arizona schools when Oregon and Washington bailed for B10

The ACC could have added Stanford,Cal, Utah,ASU, Arizona and Colorado would have probably join also and gone to 20 with a Western Wing and kept B12 from going West.

Would have been an interesting choice for the PAC schools. Academically, those 6 fit better with the ACC. Being with similar academic peers is a big deal to them. But geographically the Big 12 makes more sense for them with the exception of the 3 eastern schools.

The eastern Big 12 schools would love the ACC but only if it stays as is, which doesn't seem likely as FSU keeps whining so publicly. I think it'll take a lot more things aligning for the ACC to collapse like the PAC did. They have a much better chance for survival. But just like with the PAC, I can't see actual movement from the Big 12 to the ACC because the top schools that make it better than the Big 12 are trying to get out. And everyone knows it.

The ACC won’t collapse in the way the pac did because they will still have a conference of the PAC and ACC leftovers. This will still be above the American or Midwest conference, but maybe lower than Big12 in media rights, but much better academically. I’d expect the ACC to still have the same access to the playoff the Big12 has. 
 

At the end of the day, the big12 and the ACC will both be conferences for the schools who didn’t have enough viewers or right media market to get invited to the SEC or Big10.
