With the new ACC network and GOR, I think there's a minimal chance that the Big Ten pulls a team out of the ACC now. If the Big Ten wants to go to 16, now, they will have to go west. Oklahoma, Kansas, maybe Texas, and even Missouri from the SEC are most likely IMO. Personally, I would guess KU and Mizzou just because OU seems like more of a fit in the SEC and Texas clearly won't bow to anyone (my own speculation that Mizzou would jump to the Big Ten...it would seem to make sense culturally and essentially be a wash financially).
It makes me wonder, if the Big Ten had a network from Kansas City to New York and the SEC owned the football landscape (with OU), how would the ACC respond? There is not a whole lot of room for the ACC to increase their athletic prestige. I think that they would have to get Notre Dame in the conference as a football member by 2025 when the NBC contract is up. And of course, ND would need a partner to join with...
