The easiest path is for the ACC to acquire the 7 PAC schools. Colorado could go back to the big 12 and Oregon St/Washington St to the mountain west conference.

There’s no way the ACC is dropping Wake Forest as a founding member and we are not breaking the big 12 grant the right by adding West Virginia or Cincinnati. It’s unlikely Notre Dame ever fully joins a conference in football.

If there was 3 seven-team divisions, each team  plays their own division 6 games and a home/home with the other two divisions. Notre Dame would rotate through the teams and play everyone once every three years (7 games annual schedule commitment).

Protected rivalries like Duke-Carolina and Miami-FSU would need to be built into the schedule agreement.

If there were unequal revenue sharing amongst teams based on field performance,that could placate the large factory southern schools (Clemson, FSU, Miami etc). A model like the top three teams receive 100% of the SEC money, The next tier receive 75%, next tier 60%, bottom tier 50% of SEC $ could work if the teams agreed to this type of model. It appears the ACC is likely to follow the unequal revenue sharing model.
