The thing is, will anyone want any of the B12 schools?  They don't have a lot of big name traditional football powers.  In fact, they have none.

I don't see the SEC or the B1G having any interest in any of their programs.

Now the ACC on the other hand, might look to add a couple of the better B12 schools to position itself for the inevitable run at ACC schools that will probably come a few years later.

I could see a scenario where they add 4 schools to serve as long term replacements when some ACC schools defect.

Maybe the ACC adds WVU, UC, UCF and UConn in 2030 or so.

And then maybe the ACC loses NC, UVa, GT and VT to the B1G in 2034.

A lot depends on the deals offered to the B12 before 2030-31.  You can bet they will want the bidding on their new contract(s) to start early and will hope for significantly higher revenue numbers than the ACC is paying.  I think the ACC TV payout will be in the range of $46 million in 2031 and it is up in the $56 range by 2036.

That is going to be hard for the B12 to reach given what is going on with cable and revenue numbers right now.

A lot can change from now to then but it looks like all is not lost for the ACC right now.  They sit in a pretty good spot.
