Travel partners are important and a consideration but there are a lot of other variables too.

If say the ACC is convinced FSU is leaving, they are surely going to make a play for UCF to replace the Seminoles circa 2030.  The conference needs a couple teams in Florida and UCF would be a good replacement.

Maybe get TCU to pair with SMU and add WVU and UC and you have a nice group to replace defectors.

I am interested to see how proactive the ACC is to backfill and if they make deals with the defectors where the defectors get out early with some concessions on exit fees/GOR money in exchange for voting for replacement programs.

One thing the ACC can't do is let the best B12 schools sign another GOT for 5 or 10 years in 2031 and not have any of them available if/when ACC schools shortly after that.

Back to UConn.  Their best bet to get into the ACC might be if the B12 is able to get a new GOR signed before the ACC defections occur.  In that case, schools like UConn, USF and Tulane might end up in the ACC.
