I think UNC leaving would be the death-knell for the ACC.  FSU and Clemson have already been very vocal about wanting to jump ship, and at that point, it starts to look a lot like the Big East circa 2011.  Depending on how much the TV deal craters, schools like Syracuse and BC would have to think legitimately about re-joining the Big East and forming a football-only regional conference with the likes of UConn and Temple.  The wind is already blowing in that direction based on their OOC scheduling recently.

Are schools like Cincy and UCF really worth stealing, though?  I think the ACC adding a couple of g5 looking programs like that would be the best way to accelerate the departure of every other program of value (NC State, Miami, GT, VT, maybe Louisville or Pitt).  It'd be doing the Big 12 a huge favor, if anything, by taking two of its least valuable properties off its hands just as several of the big boys hit the open market.  You probably have a better feel for the TV aspect of it than me, but on the surface the Big 12 in that scenario becomes a far more desirable league.
