Eventually when they attempt to make it a full professional league they will go out of business. Congress will make sure tax exemption goes away. On top of that the NFL brings in too much money to the Networks for them not to protect the real Professionals.The ACC already makes Big 12 money...when you factor in the ACCN payments (no Big 12 network)...Yes, the ACC is valuable to ESPN..right now...due to carriage monies....bringing in California and Texas in addition to their other carriage "home states", means revenue to the Mothership.
And the majority of the population will stop watching a minor league group of professionals.
