I could most definitely see the private schools being reluctant to pass some of those proposals. That absolutely seems credible. However, from what the Big Ten seeks to accomplish, the suggestion that kicking out the private schools would win them the battle would also eventually lose them the war. Furthermore, they can't arbitrarily kick people out or else they'll get clobbered by antitrust issues. Even if they could come up with some sort of baseline required to indirectly impact some of those private schools, it could have far-reaching implications and wind up hurting just as much as it would help.

I think there is an element of truth to what he's saying from a standpoint the Big Ten would love to make the ACC unstable enough to where members leave in mass exodus, which would make the GoR debates moot and would provide an avenue to pursue UNC and/or UVA. In the meantime, the private schools in the ACC might be standing in the way of autonomy, which further complicates the bigger picture. I just think he's connecting the dots incorrectly on the specific motives.
