I posted this article in today daily articles but I thought I would re-post it here with a special emphasis on one paragraph.

News & Observer reporter Andrew Carter confirmed that report and confirmed the idea that that kind of Western expansion is unlikely now for the league. Carter reported that an ACC/Pac-12 merger would've cost ACC schools between $1-3 million per year in TV revenue, saying that "no remaining P12 school brought value to the league."

There was an earlier report that the ACC could add members as they chose and the new members would get full payment.  This report makes things look like that was not accurate.

This explains why the ACC was maybe not quite as eager to add the P12 refugees as the B12.  Guessing that the B12 is also taking a haircut to add the P12 schools to their league.  Guessing they are willing to take a short term hit to have extra schools in place in case another raid comes.  Or maybe just because they are thinking there is strength in numbers.
