The Pac TV contract expired and they completely mismanaged and blew the negotiations for a new deal. They overplayed their position and in essence killed themselves. The demise of the PAC was 100% self inflicted.

The ACC on the other hand has managed to not only survive but increase their revenue by approximately 100 million last year. They have added three excellent Universities and in Dallas on of the largest TV markets in the country. The ACC landed a solid position and payment in the newly expanded college football playoffs and continues to increase viewership across its own ACC Network which is and will remain the last in collegiate sports. 
What I find strange is that the narrative around the league is always about trailing the Big 10 and the SEC. 
I believe it needs to be about the fact that it LEADS, is in front of every other conference in the country. 
Each school in the ACC received a record 43 million last distribution.  It will approach 50 million per team next distribution cycle. Compare that to any team outside of the Big 10 and SEC and realize that Syracuse is in good shape and very fortunate to be in the ACC. 
Syracuse has in the ACC a platform to legitimately compete for championships in every major sport.  It has a media partner in ESPN that leads and will continue to lead in the distribution of sports content.  
The ACC isn't going anywhere regardless of what happens with 
FSU or Clemson. 
I hope that the expansion rumors are true and that the ACC expands West and adds  mountain and pacific time zone viewership to its network as that viewership actually has more value than adding the same numbers in our current foot print. 
Third place is a good place.
