Look at TV ratings/attendance and compare the current Big 12 schools vs the potential left behind ACC schools.  I think the Big 12 looks better.

Here are the TV ratings of the Big 12 Championship vs the ACC Championship in 2022 and 2021 in which the Big 12 did not have either Texas or Oklahoma and ACC didn't have FSU:

2022:  
Big 12:  Kansas St./TCU   9.4 million viewers
ACC:  Clemson/North Carolina   3.5 million viewers

2021:
Big 12:  Baylor/Oklahoma St.   8.0 million viewers
ACC:  Pitt/Wake Forest   2.7 million viewers

And, if FSU figures a way out, there will be other top ACC schools leaving.  And don't think ESPN would not be an enabler like they were when the ACC picked apart the Big East.  All ESPN has to do is say they won't exercise their ACC option after 2027 and it's game over.

As far as the Big 10 and SEC, they aren't going to come right out and say they want FSU or any other ACC school for legal reasons.  If FSU figures a way out of the ACC, then the other conferences will express interest.
