It is highly unlikely that the ACC goes away. UNC-UVA-Duke will stay as long as possible. And remember they care more about BBall than FB so less revenue isn't the biggest of deals.

For the ACC to breakup the money would need to be ludicrous. Which means Clemson and FSU would need to leave. The SEC doesn't want them and the B1G is highly unlikely.

The internet obsession with 4 x 16 is weird. If there is value in 18 teams a conference will do it. If there is no value in 16 teams a conference will not do it. I don't see a way the P12 gets to 16 teams now. What is the point? If every conference goes to 10 games they will just play 10 of the 11 teams. There is no gain in going larger or loss in being smaller.

Look at the P12's options and people think they go past 12? Fresno State, San Diego State, Boise State, UNLV, Nevada, Utah State, Colorado State, Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State. Who are the best 4 teams from that? Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Boise State? Yuck.

Kansas makes zero sense for the ACC. WV IMO does. They have a nice brand in both sports and have a history with many teams already. They also help the presence in the MD/DC area. If divisions are not required 15 FB is doable. You can play 5 x 3/3/3 or 4 x 5/5 if you go to 9 games.
