The real questions are whether either the B1G or SEC (1) actually consider the ACC (or XII or Pac) competition and (2) whether killing the ACC or any other conference actually benefits them.

As to question number 1, I do not know.  I would hazard to guess that the value of the B1G's media contracts have little to do with whether the ACC survives and it may be better off having other "major" conferences to play OOC from the standpoint of Fox/CBS/NBC.

The second question is probably a little more nuanced as there may be a few schools in the ACC that both the B1G and the SEC would bring on board, as opposed to the XII which has no teams either the B1G or SEC wants and the Pac, which the B1G has already passed on (although rumors are again swirling).

We all know the gem on the bunch is ND, but I am not confident it would join the B1G if the ACC imploded.  It may just stay independent in football and move its other sports to the Big East.  As for UVA, UNC, Miami, FSU, and Clemson, would these schools bring enough value for the another full share from the media partners?  I do not know, but I would not assume it would be.
