Why would the SEC want NCS 
Why would the B1G want Duke?as they just rejected Stamford 
Even the assumption that 
when the ACC gets raided 
UVA , UNC  FSU  and Clemson are gone is 
 not even a 100% certainty 
   Miami is a key , I personally don’t see  anyone other than the B12 with interest In them but if I’m wrong than  holding the ACC together gets tougher . 
My belief is the ACC  survival or death 
is dependent on who wins the ACC / B12 battle .
It’s going to come down to media dollars . 
Personally if the ACC aggressive 
they could have taken the very exposed eastern wing who have been further isolated by the Big 12 western expansion.. I believe if Big 12 took UConn then  that wing was more secure and the ACC less .  
    However given equal money  West Va , Cincinnati , UCF , would prefer to be in an eastern oriented  conference . That‘s why I feel adding Stan //Cal hurt the ACC in the long run while adding UConn/ USF or even SMU / Tulane made more sense 
     However a third option actually makes the most sense. Its a simple merger between the Big 12 ACC into up to 28 team super conference 
With a bit of history injected into each Div 
Big Atlantic North East 
Cuse
*BCU
PItt 
WVA
Cincinnati 
Va Tech 
**UConn
Duke 
Big  Atlantic South East 
NCS
*Wake 
GT 
UCF 
Miami 
Louisville 
Miami

Big Mid West 
Iowa St 
Kansas 
Kansas State 
OSU 
Colorado 
BYU 
*SMU 
Big Southwest 
TCU 
TTU 
Baylor 
UAZ 
ASU
Utah 
Houston

* These Teams or any teams can be dropped from the merger 
 ** Wishful thinking 
Stanford 
Call  gets added to the B1G at 1/2 price 
or rejoins a New  PAC MW alliance if that succeeds .
