My fear after Maryland left the ACC was that the B1G would take UNC and Virginia. They would get the academic state flagships that seem like a good fit for that conference. The SEC takes NC State and Va Tech. Again, those two schools are a cultural fit for the SEC. Then FSU, Clemson, Miami and Georgia Tech would go to the Big 12. Fortunately with the Big 12 dead our nightmare isn't this bad, but it still wouldn't leave us in a great position.

I don't think the ACC will lose any schools in the next 10 years, but it should be proactive. Notre Dame is not coming, so get that out of the way. Hopefully we are speaking with Texas and Oklahoma and feeling them out. They would make more money in the ACC than they do in the Big 12, though obviously not the SEC. After them Oklahoma State has to be the top draft pick. Then one of TCU, Baylor, Kansas or West Virginia. Baylor might offer the best of both football and basketball and fits the ACC profile.

I don't have the sense of dread I felt last time we went through this. Hopefully our ESPN connections will save us.
