From what I've heard, the source of that rumor is far from reliable.

The threat of loss motivates as well.
UNC and VA must know that Clemson and FSU have flirted with the SEC. Some people say that MD exit fees questions is the only thing keeping them.
That would leave Miami and Va Tech leading the charge in football???
Does UNC and VA and GA Tech want to be in a crippled conference?
If that happened, the ACC would be more like the old BE than the ACC.
Think about it.
BCU, SU, Pitt, UofL, Miami, Va Tech, ND and Miami from the OBE VS. Duke, NC State and Wake from the New ACC.
Add in maybe UCONN and Cincy and all Swafford would have accomplished is changing the name of the BE to the ACC.

I agree and there is something totally comical and poetic about that. Maybe he's been angling to be BE Commissioner all along.

I can easily see Clemson and/or Florida St in the SEC(cause I'll bet the next time the SEC expands they will make a huge push for Texas so maybe only one of the two goes) and that might open the door for UConn in the ACC and how freakin weird would that be. The old Big East football schools all end up in the ACC. The ACC has more former Big East schools than original ACC schools and you got to believe the basketball tourney would then end up in MSG. UConn needs to start winning football games. It's a shame we were so late in joining that party(Div 1 football).
