The ACC is in a bad spot. I read a bleacher report blog, and I know it's only bleacher report, but he summed up the situation pretty succinctly. He basically said if a 10 team Big 12 is more valuable than a 14 team ACC then the ACC is in for a world of pain. What a 12, 14, or 16 team Big 12 would be worth compared to what the ACC is locked into for the next 15 years is so disparate that it is comical and hard to imagine the ACC surviving. It may not happen this summer but 2 or 3 years in, watching the Big 4 get paid major cash, will cause the break-up of the ACC. The ACC thought that the Big 12 was so unstable that they would sneak their way into the Big 4, but with the Big 12 signing a 13 year grant of rights and getting a bigger contract, that just will not happen in time for the ACC to make it into the big boys club.
