[QUOTE="GoJacketsInRaleigh, post: 954381, member: 5103"] There's nothing for the ACC to expand with other than Notre Dame or Penn State. ESPN would gladly accept either and redo the deal. The ACC isn't adding Sun Belt, CUSA, or AAC schools just for the sake of adding more schools. The SEC isn't expanding either unless they get top notch brands and/or get into new markets. They could take UNC and UVA or VT to expand markets. Possibly Clemson and FSU for the brands if they want to keep those two away from the B1G. None of this is happening until the GOR expires or is close to expiring. If ESPN wanted schools to switch amongst the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 I'm sure they would find a way to make it happen. In fact, assuming they haven't gone out of business I expect them to consolidate these conferences with the schools they want and leave the others out. We will eventually have an ESPN conference (SEC) and a Fox Conference (B1G). Everyone else will be in a second tier. The SEC and B1G will be NFL-lite in 10 years and ratings will actually go down because fans of schools that aren't included won't watch or care. I would be perfectly fine in a second tier with similar schools playing in a conference where teams are located from VA to FL and are easily accessible and where we aren't bringing a knife to a gun fight expecting to beat UGA, Clemson, etc... other than the occasional miracle with the restrictions we put on ourselves compared to them.
