I don't see much in this at all (as I think is the case with you too).

That said, in my mind, there is more room for improvement/upside with the ACC than the B1G or SEC. I think that is why we don't hear of it from those two conferences. They are the selectors, but as soon as either contemplates pushing one of their members out to make room for new blood (money) the conversation changes. Would the ACC want Miss State, or Auburn? What about Iowa or Purdue, or an opportunity to take back the seaboard with Maryland and Rutgers? I can see scenarios where the mid-tier teams (and maybe Rutgers) could present opportunities to the ACC that an outside investor could make feasible. Would the ACC want a piece of Nashville and Chicago by using the money to entice Vandy and Northwestern? With outside money leveling the field, the ACC could have a better shot at swinging USC and UCLA given Stanford and Cal. Think what that opens (ASU, Colorado, Utah for example). It also has the potential to end the FSU and Clemson silliness through larger payouts (to all teams? imbalanced based on value perception to the PE?).

It gets easier to see why there is chatter about it, no matter how unlikely. In my mind the real AI boom is still 8-10 years away from bearing real fruit, but it's all anybody's talking about these days.
