Exactly.  This is what I've been saying is most likely to happen for quite a while now.  The cake is baked.  At some point in the next few years the ACC will see a half dozen-ish of its best brands leave for the greener pastures of the B1G and SEC.

Given the GoR costs, and TV deal structures, the timeline is fuzzy.  But it's almost certain to happen.

Then we'll see if the Leftover ACC and B12 merge and become the 0.5 in a 2.5 power conference landscape, or if they stay separate and we have a Power 2 and Medium 2.

I'm not suggesting college sports will *only* be the B1G and SEC.  Or that schools not in those conferences won't have stretches where they make some noise and become an attraction for a bit.  But I am suggesting that adding a bunch of B12 schools to the ACC provides zero incremental media value.  The total deal may grow due to inventory expansion, but there will not be an organic, per-school increase in revenue because Cincy or UCF are now in the ACC.  I feel extremely confident about that.
