The BT and SEC are both waltzing around one another trying to figure how to finalize this crap to their ultimate advantage. Meanwhile, there are people actively trying to save the ACC, though ESPN seems unconcerned to make an effort on its part.

The way I see it is that the BT MUST get into the South to ever have a real chance to equal SEC football quality top to bottom. The SEC will be hurt badly over time if the BT expands big in the South meaning a half dozen schools kind of expansion.

Then we have all the networks. More than just ESPN and Fox would love to show a bunch of Major conference football and basketball. So if there are only 2 Major conferences left, all those other networks get cut out. If just one of those other networks would become very aggressive about wanting to back the ACC, then we could see some real explosions.

Other than, I think that the BT and SEC together backed by ESPN and Fox will squeeze the ACC toward death. They intend to apply major pressure until they can make several schools jump just to avoid having to cut sports. A passive ACC will either end up as the next SWC (DEAD) or as the next Pac (permanently reduced in status). And when either happens to the ACC, the BT and SEC together will have total control. They would then be unlikely to even want to allow the Big 12 to have a slot in their playoffs.
