Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4842638, member: 34"] There are definitely different interests amongst the members based on each institutions perceived value in an open market if the ACC disintegrates. Several months ago when the term "Magnificent 7" was coined I mentioned it would almost be worth it for the lower rung schools who have fewer options available should the conference disintegrate to proactively vote with the Magnificent 7 to dissolve the conference and find/form a new entity. There is strength in the bottom schools (WF and BCU being the most vulnerable at the time) forming an alliance. The mid-tier schools (VT, SU, Pitt, 'ville) would be left scrambling for spots. When "it" hits the fan for the ACC I am convinced FSU, Miami, GT, UVA, UNC are scooped up right away. Whether it's B1G or SEC, I don't know. They're gone before the ink is dry. NCSU, VT are two most obvious choices to go next. Then you have SU, Pitt and Louisville and then the dumpsters of BCU and WFU. I'm not even considering the new schools of Calford and SMU. [/QUOTE]
