History has shown that on matters such as this, the ACC has typically been a reactive, rather than proactive, conference.  ACC leadership is a lot like the French in WWII, dutifully fighting the last war, although the reality  on the ground has drastically changed.
Say what you will about Yormack but he takes action for the B12, instead of just sitting around and waiting to see when the next shoe will drop. Hell, he seems prepared to invite everyone and their half-brother if that's what it takes.
The ACC is the one with the TV network, East and Atlantic coast presence and potential eyeballs to be mined. Now is when ACC leadership should be looking to shore up the conference's foundations, by approaching ESPN on sweetening the deal, looking at alternatives like Amazon, Netflix, and other streaming services as potential options. I'm not a fan of private equity, but it should definitely get a long hard look from Charlotte HQ.
This is no longer bizness-as-usual, this conference is on the precipice of total annihilation. Time for  Phillips to make some bold and decisive moves moving forward. The Big12 should not be the one w/ more options as the 3rd best conference.
