You can add to your list that the ACC brings ESPN revenue equal to the ACC and is a money maker.  Weakening the conference only weakens their bottom line.  (And the Mickey Mouse, Inc.'s bottom line).

Further, if the ACC breaks up, the B1G is likely to take a few schools and include SI and Pitt to lock ESPN out of college sports on the northeast.  The northeast has the most concentrated population and it will take decades for ESPN to get back in to the northeast.  (This expands your second point).

The above would then limit ESPN to the SEC and the Big 12 but the Big 12 does not carry any weight as they are mostly other-ran schools.

Anyway, I have not read up on the thread since before Christmas but the lawsuit as filed originally was against the ACC and ESPN is the rights holder now, this, this is less logical than FSU believes.  ESPN has to be brought in for any kind of resolution barring FSU withdrawing the lawsuit or the courts shutting FSU down before they can get a trial.
