I don't think the SEC wants to be the reason the ACC breaks up. Having the ACC around helps their cause.

If the ACC fractures, there are unknown consequences to college football, it could make the Big 12 stronger.

I think the B1G and SEC are happy being the top two college football brands.

Keeping things status quo allows those two conferences to call the shots.

They are making top $$$ and college football would diminish if the ACC went away.

What would be left if they raided. Right now it's the law of diminishing returns. Adding other schools might give you more, but what would non conference opponents qualify look like.

It's bad optics and when the B1G grabbed USC and UCLA, and the Big 12 finished off the PAC. The college football landscape dynamic changed.

Ultimately, its not in the SEC''s best interest. An already weaker ACC is much better than the ACC disappearing because the conference  footprint is so close and the last thing they want is to have to divide the pie with the 12

That being said, if the ACC is raided, UNC. and UVA will have a home in the SEC.
