My fear is that the new Big 10 commish wakes up and the conference looks to the ACC over the next few years for their expansion targets. I could see them using Florida State and Clemson, lesser academics aside, to pry loose UNC, Virginia and Duke. If FSU and Clemson appear to be angling for an exit, that would definitely prompt UNC and UVA to give a long hard look at the Big 10—and they’d probably be forced into saying yes. They’d  almost have no choice if FSU and Clemson made the move. I could even see Clemson and Florida State approaching the Big 10 themselves through back channels to put the dominoes in motion. That could also force ND’s hand to join the Big10. Granted, that’s a lot of moving parts and some big risks and might be a huge challenge to pull off, especially with the grant of rights agreement as a road block, but I could see it happening. As Syracuse fans, that’s our nightmare scenario. But if I was the Big 10 Commish, that’s what I’d be looking to do. You add Florida State and Clemson (and hold your nose on the academics), UNC, UVA, Duke, and ND, and you have a 20 team conference that could keep pace with the SEC.
