UNC is best understood as the anti-Texas. By that I mean that while Texas would dump any conference mate of even 100 years should it get an itch that will make Texas richer and/or more powerful, UNC is loyal to all ACC members. Texas was happy as an alcoholic discovering punch spiked with PGA at a Temperance meeting to dump Rice, TCU, SMU, and Houston. Texas apparently preferred a 10 member new league rather than the Big XII, which would have dumped Texas Tech or Baylor or both.
 
Neither UNC nor UVA is going to leave behind Wake, for example.
 
The only alliance with the Big 12 the ACC will have will be about some OOC scheduling and perhaps new bowl ties - perhaps a Big 12 team in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte. I could see a number of OOC games arranged with help from conference offices, to make certain every ACC football team has at least 1 big OOC game per year. Unless Texas gets back to playing A&M, it even needs to think about beefing up OOC schedules, like every ACC team not playing an SEC name team annually.
