How can the ACC be proactive? Outside of ND there isn't an add that will bring a significant increase in money. Not let the B12 get 1st choice of what? Crap? That is all that is basically left.

Oregon and Washington have no incentive to go to the B12. They are holding out hope for a B1G invite. Neither Cal nor Stanford will go to the B12. No one cares about Washington State or Oregon State. The B12 has no incentive to take Utah. Colorado isn't going back to the B12, they want to be in a conference with California schools. That leaves Arizona and Arizona State. Neither of those schools will bump the B12 ahead of the ACC. So what is the worry?

You could make the argument that killing off the B12 and P12, while also adding new markets, would get the ACC a decent bump. So if the ACC added TCU, Stanford, Houston, Arizona State, Washington, Colorado, UCF, Oregon, BYU, Kansas there would be no brands, no sizable fanbases, nor top markets left in the B12 or P12. But is the ACC really going to 24 teams from 14? And will those 10 schools of value really all agree to leave their current situation? Especially Oregon and Washington. Plus will these state schools be willing to leave same state schools in the cold (for example ASU and Zona)?
